One tip I was once given in LV: As a tourist never leave the strip at
night and walk into side streets. Never.

Good advice. I've had to glare-down purse-snatchers/pick-pockets even
ON the Strip. Vegas is a fun place, but it attracts some pretty
desperate and unsavory folks.

One last word of (hopefully unnecessary) advice for the OP: PLEASE
don't judge America by what you see/experience in Los Angeles and/or
Las Vegas.

They're usually fun places to visit, but they're about as
representative of America as watching "Miami Vice" or "CSI"...

Great aviation post there hypocrite.


Oh, and last time I checked Vegas and LA were in the US
