6'0, 190lb semi athletic who doesn't walk like an unaware idiot. how safe is the walk from Aria to Holiday Royale (google says its about a 30min walk) at 10:30pm?

thanks

It's fine, there should be people walking around 24hrs a day with hard rock being right there. CVS, checkers and subway are all open round the clock. No dark alleys or anything.

awesome. ty!

Be aware of the difference between 10:30pm and 2:30am.

Nothing good happens after 2am right?

Tupac was shot at 11:15.

I don't think he was staying at the HR.

Pretty sure he was at the B.E.L.

2Pac was shot at the corner of Flamingo & Koval. Walking from Aria to Holiday Royale, you cross Koval on Harmon.

But the joke would work for walking from Caesars Palace to Holiday Royale..

I’ve done the walk Strip - MGM Signature a million times and don’t think walking another 15 minutes East should be too bad?

walking is for poor people, get an Uber

Get a bike.

Easy 5 minute ride.

Walking? OP, don't listen to these cavemen. Get a boosted board.

Sharp post.

But for chrissakes, please wear a helmet..

Except for the...LAAADIESSSSSSS...coming out of the bars and clubs looking for What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas.

It’s not good for them.

suggest taking bike instead

Bike as in bicycle? I thought casinos didn’t allow bicycles to be parked at their properties?

Couple of questions about promos: Mgm has a promo that pays for hours played 10am to 6pm? Top place is $1250? What is the qualifying period?

Orleans only rakes $3 max? That can add up. How are the nlhe games compared to strip?

There was a really good post about a month ago about the exact spot at nearly all strip casinos to lock your bike. Search and you'll find it

$3 max, but playing against nit-tard OMC locals, all day, every day, eliminates any advantage of a lower rake..

I posted this on another thread about a month ago:

Venetian has one near the self-park entrance. Big one with probably close to a hundred bikes there when full.

The Linq has one in the back behind the ferris wheel. (no longer true}

The Fashion Show Mall has two. One I don't know where, the other right next to Saks Fifth Avenue.

Harrah's has an informal one on the second floor of the back parking structure. So does Flamingo at the bottom floor of the parking structure. No bike racks for both but you can just tie it to the rails where the other bikes do.

The Cromwell has a hidden one right across the street from Bally's (where the tourist buses stop), right in front of the security guards. Awesome and hidden.

Planet Hollywood has three that I know of. Two in the ground floor of the self parking lot. One of them is right next to the valet parkers. There's one mainly for employees very near the strip right across the street from the Harley Davidson cafe (on Harmon) behind McDonald's. They don't mind civilians like me parking there. 3 minute walk from where McDonald's is.

The Aria has one at the parking structure but I'm not sure if it is still there. I've never used it but saw it when I parked my car there. Ask a security guard if they still have it.

The closed movie theater (Showcase Theater) behind the Hard Rock Cafe has a bike rack on the second floor of its self park structure. You have to take your bike into the elevator. Press level two and walk it past the security office into the garage.

There's one deep inside Park MGM/Monte Carlo, but I'm not sure if it's still there.

There's one at the back of the T-Mobile Arena.

You can also tie your bike at the "park" area of New York New York near Shake Shack, right on the Strip - in the black fences. The park security guard told me they don't care and the cops don't care either. Do so at your own risk. That's where those people that hand out flyers on the strip also park their bikes.

There are two behind the MGM, one at the employee parking in the back as well as at the self park, very near Koval. Long walk to the poker room.

Hooters has one but my bike got stolen there.

Excalibur has one at the security/employee entry area near the Rotunda. Extremely safe to the max. There will be a security guard staring at your bike all day.

There's one at the back of the Luxor, on the street behind the pool area.

There's also one at the back of the Mandalay Bay. At least there used to be. But it's very far...almost near Frank Sinatra.

There's one at Ellis Island. In fact I was there this morning. I drove and parked my van there. After eating, I took out my bike and drove it behind the Venetian, Linq, Bally's, Paris, and Planet Hollywood. Went back to Ellis Island and came back home.

I never bike on the Strip. Too many tourist drivers, drunk and taking selfies. I take the back streets. I'm not crazy like Trooper.

All good information. I plan to have a car with me, but as long as the walk is safe, I’d rather get the exercise walking to and from the casinos. Thanks for the excellent bike info in case I decide to go that route.

I suspected that might be the case. Thanks. Plus, I noticed they take $2 for the promos. So that puts it even with the 4+1 and 5 casinos.

I haven't played much NL there,but the limit games certainly aren't nitty, so I don't know why the NL ones would be.

And yes, there is a $2 promo drop, which I don't love, but that does not put it even with paying $5 for no promos. Not sure there even are any $4+1 places. If there are, they are also locals casinos. I think all strip casinos now have $5 rake; many have additional promo drop as well.

The NL games can be pretty good there, usually more than 1 game running most of the time and it's usually running 24/7

Stations are 4+1

You would probably see more criminals if you walked from Aria to Venetian.
