Question

【題目】 With its subtle(微妙的)rules on tipping and not-so-subtle rules about carrying ID,Las Vegas is better enjoyed after a little research.This smart booklet will save you the bother.

Tipping Las Vegas runs on tips.You should hand a dollar bill to the waiting staff who get you a drink,and the doorman who whistles you up a taxi.Taxi drivers and restaurant waiting staff should get 15%-20%(most bills do not include service charge);tour guides $5-$10;and you're oven expected to leave S2-S5 a day at the end of your hotel stay for the housekeeping staff you may never actually meet. On the plus side, the customer service in Las Vegas is second to none:if you tip well for a round of drinks in a club，for instance, a good waiter will later pick you out of the crowd and pour your drinks while you're still sitting in the fourth row.	Getting around The airport is close to the centre.You can catch a shuttle to the major hotels for$11-$15,or get a quicker taxi for about $25.(Walking on the Strip is fun for people-watching, with elevated pedestrian walkways.A monorail runs from the MGM Grand to SLS with stops at: Bally's and Paris;the Flamingo; Harrah's and The LINQ;Las Vegas Convention Center and Westgate Vegas. A double-decker bus called the Deuce also runs all the way up the Strip to Fremont Street in the Downtown area.
Areas When you think of Las Vegas,you're thinking of the Strip:a stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard,about four miles long,packed with hotels and casinos(娛樂場所)that extends from the Mandalay Bay hotel in the south to the SLS hotel in the north.There are two skyscraper hotels a little to the east,Palms and the Rio,and some smaller.cheaper ones to the west.The other great area for the visitor is Downtown.four miles north of the central Strip.Don't think you've seen Las Vegas without visiting it.
