There are laws and rules in Las Vegas that must be understood before traveling there.
When walking around a casino in Las Vegas, chances are good that you will find a slot ticket, play chip, or money, which someone has left behind. According to the Las Vegas Visitors Commission's (LVVC) 2006 Las Vegas Visitors Report, two out of three people believe that these found items would then belong to them.
In Las Vegas, all slot tickets and play chips are the property of the casino. Any cash that is left behind also becomes the property of the casino. Attempting to use any cash tender that you have found in a casino can cause an unknowing tourist to be escorted off of the premises.
In Las Vegas, it is legal to walk around on The Strip, or Downtown with an open intoxicant. It is also legal to ride in a vehicle that is deemed as public transportation with an open intoxicant. It is illegal, though, to either walk in an undesignated area, or drive your own vehicle with an open alcoholic beverage. According to the LVVC's 2006 Report, two out of every five tourists who is arrested in Las Vegas has been arrested for breaking the city's intoxication laws.
The line, "What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas," is recognized worldwide. Some people will say that Las Vegas was built on the idea of titillation. It is a well-known fact that there are areas inside Nevada that allow prostitution. It is not well known that Las Vegas is not one of the cities that will allow it.
Millions of people travel to Las Vegas every year hoping to be able to be the one who will break the bank, and bring a casino to its knees. Some people will attempt to increase their advantage over the casino by cheating. In Nevada, excessive cheating at a casino is a crime. Repeat offenders, or those who have been able to take large sums of money, end up in jail.
