Booked tickets for the Dice show at Hard Rock. Is walking from Hard Rock to MGM safe? Plan to play poker at MGM after the show. How about the walk from MGM back to the strip?

I am staying at TI so will definitely cab it from there to Hard Rock.

Thanks in advance!

Hard Rock has a free shuttle that picks up and drops off near MGM every 1/2 hour or so, it stops running at 5:00pm.

Did you mean 5:00am? Stopping at 5:00pm would seem in LV a bit strange.

Last time I took it (about a year ago) it actually stopped at 5:00pm. Previously it would go from like 11:00am to 9:00pm. They change it up all the time for whatever reason, so maybe call up the hotel and ask what their current times are. But the strip pick up and drop off location hasn't changed as far as I'm aware.

The shuttle option may not work if it is that early but thanks anyway.

I would like to hit up as many casinos as possible and would rather walk than take a cab whenever possible. I don't mind walking but would prefer not to be walking on a desolate street at 2 am with no one else around.

You'll be plenty safe on the trip between since it's all Strip, all the time.

St. Patrick's Day is nuts though. Combine that, March Madness, spring break, whatever conventions in town, the usual amount of Vegas degeneracy, etc.

Safest way to walk from hard rock to strip is to walk down paradise then walk up flamingo. Completely safe and lots of casinos to check out.

Well I've never been in either, but Veer will be a much shorter walk to everything you want.

If you were looking at the Veer... it seems to be a good time.

Looking to rent out a house during the wsop this year mid may-mid july. Planning on doing a good amount of research but would welcome any suggestions, recommendations, things to consider.

Will have 3-4 guys staying in the house. Looking for something off-strip in a safe neighborhood w/ a pool.

Just a quick one...

Is Carnaval Court open? Heard it was supposed to reopen on 3/1, but haven't heard for sure.

Compared to the concept art, I was very disappointed with how the nobu rooms looked from the actual pictures & reviews. Would rather just stay at Caesars for cheaper and 20$ trick if staying in that location.

I was allowed to look at rates, but once I logged in to my total rewards account, I got shut out. It said that not all total rewards memebers were eligible for this promo.
