Question: Should I tip the slot host for being comped for room, food, etc.?
Answer: Casino/Slot Hosts: NO TIP!!! This is a biggie. No cash money tips can be accepted by any slot or casino host. It's too much like a bribe as they are the ones who determine whether or not you get that free room or comped meal. However, you can give them gifts. One recommendation is for you to bring a gift with "local flair" to a casino host who has gone the extra mile for you. Other thoughts might include food items from your local area like an assortment of jams, or a nice bottle of wine. Also acceptable are things like scarves, ties, lapel pins, tie clips, candy, etc. Gift certificates are a grey area. Some casinos are okay with them, others frown upon it. Another nice thing to do is to send flowers or a plant, but the best thing you can do according to the slot hosts which we have heard from is to write a very nice letter to their boss letting them know how well you were treated and how much the assistance of your host contributed to the wonderful time you had in their casino.

Question: What is the slowest time of the year in Las Vegas?
Answer: 

• Next to June and July, the week before Christmas and the week after New Year's are the two slowest times of the year. In fact, December generally isn't a bad month for crowds. Hotel prices sink during the slowest weeks of the winter, making it much easier to get a good room at a great rate.
• Best time to visit Las Vegas is anytime, but I would suggest booking a room (s) from Sunday thru Thursday, better room rates, and crowds are smaller....weekends (Friday-Sunday) are getting a lot of traffic from California...and air traffic is starting to get back to what is was before Sept. 11th....

Question: What should I wear at the Casino?
Answer: 

• Generally speaking the mode of dress is informal and easygoing, basically it's very casual vacation wear.  The style depends on the event that you might be attending...for some events it might be desirable to get a little more dressed up... Dress comfortably. To really have fun, you've got to be able to walk without being tortured by tight clothes or shoes that pinch.
• Leave that heavy bag or purse at home. It will just get in the way. In many cases there's no place to put a purse except on the floor, which means amid the casino's excitement it might get left behind.
• Make sure your money is stored in a convenient, safe place. Clothes with zip-up pockets are great. They let you to get to your cash quickly while discouraging pickpockets. Also, hip-sacks (fanny packs) and body-purses are practical and stylish ways to carry money.
• Bring a light jacket or sweater; the casino's air conditioning will probably be set on Arctic blast. Although sleeveless tops and dresses are trendy, they may leave you cold. A light sweater can easily be thrown over the shoulders, or tied around the neck or waist.
