About

Survive Vegas is a daily guide to not getting taken in Las Vegas, for the 40 million people who visit every year and the ones who moved here and never left.

It's written in Las Vegas by people who have spent 20 years inside the casino and hospitality business, watching how the city separates people from their money and their weekends. We publish 1 or 2 pieces a day: a vital tip, a thing to avoid, or a true story about how this place came to be.

No resort pays us. No restaurant pays us. If that changes, it'll say so on the page.

The Vegas Survival Guide, in a visitor edition and a new-resident edition, is on the way. The signup on every page gets you the free short version now and the book the day it's out.
