with the fresh ocean breeze in their hair. Letting viewers in on the
secrets of being a great traveler, from being well-equipped for the

Vegas do’s and don’ts

do in Las Vegas; it’s about everything that can be done, and
everything that viewers should do, when they are in Glitter City.
Among some DOs suggested are attractions like free shows, best
gambling bets and best restaurants, while the DON’Ts cover
suggestions for ways of avoiding the congested Las Vegas Boulevard,
staying away from gambling faux pas, and not taking food out of the
buffet.
