Sometimes, I notice that there are certain similarities between complaints against the horrible Vegas tourist and complaints against the Kardashian family. "You're a spoiled, entitled brat" who is "famous for nothing" and "sleeping around" to get ahead, packing your "overpriced designer clothes" in your "family baggage, which is like, Louis Vuitton baggage." Or something like that.

The last thing you want to do in a city chock-full of hospitality professionals is brush them the wrong way with your crass behavior and boorish ways. You want to play the game right to get ahead, don't you? When we're talking about Vegas etiquette, there's really not a lot to remember and it's all about just being a nice person in the end. Because when you're good to Vegas, Vegas will be good to you.

It's too bright in here - turn off the sun!

All hands on deck, People of the Party Nation! You may have had the experience to pop into one club in a night - maybe two - but four clubs in a night? FIVE? This is what you need to know to get primed for, if you've never hit these nightlife numbers before that is. Gather round the glow stick hearth, dear readers, and we shall bestow upon you our tried-and-true tricks for club hopping through Sin City like the best of 'em.

The Crew You Need:

As a great man (or, The Greatest Man, if you ask him) once said,

"Believe in your flyness. Conquer your shyness."

It's time to plan a bachelorette party? GAME. ON. And before you ask - of COURSE the Lady Wolfpack is headed to Vegas! So let's get started with making an itinerary that will make your future mother-in-law blush, if she were to ever see it. Which she shouldn't, because you have to sit at a Thanksgiving table with her.
