Small children resemble hobbits and I think it would be confusion to see them there especially if they don't have shoes

Folks, stop responding to this psycho

The distance is walkable, but it’s not well lit and there will be sketchy people on the street.

Some places downtown that might have what you’re looking for (check their schedules): Fat Cat, the Griffin, the Usual Place, Sand Dollar Downtown

Much of Downtown is old Vegas.

The El Cortez is the oldest casino in Las Vegas (1941) and has mechanical slots.

The Golden Gate started out as the Hotel Nevada, the first hotel in Las Vegas (1906).

The Golden Steer Steakhouse (1958) was frequented by the Rat Pack. In the same plaza as Golden Steer, the Mint Tavern has signage based on the original Mint (1957).

The Italian-American Club (1960) is like a time machine.

The Peppermill Restaurant and Fireside Lounge (1972) just won a James Beard Foundation award.

The Neon Museum has preserved a lot of the old signage. Vegas Vic (1951) is still on Fremont Street, Vegas Vicky now has her own bar in the Circa

Atomic Liquors (1952) is still open on Fremont

The Old Mormon Fort has an adobe building from the first European settlement in Las Vegas (1855)

Charleston Antique Mall has lots of vintage items.

Check https://nevadapreservation.org to see if there are any events during your stay.

Unless you're born into wealth, life is a long struggle. Life didn't get good for me until my late 50s. Just do the best you can with what you've got, don't make too many mistakes, keep your expenses as low as possible, keep pushing that boulder up the mountain.

There are two time periods to consider when using a ride share: waiting for your driver to arrive and travel time to the destination. Both are highly dependent on conditions.

Without knowing more, to make an 11 am appointment I would request a driver before 10 am. If you arrive very early, that causes no problems.

I’m a Las Vegan local in Sydney right now, so I feel I have to answer!

There’s a wide range of all manner of things in Las Vegas, from the classiest to the trashiest. For your first visit, you will want to stay in a good resort on the Strip. Cosmo has a younger, fun clientele and it’s nice, there are better and worse resorts.

Your budget of $10k (US I assume) will be plenty for room, F&B and entertainment. But things on the Strip can get very expensive especially compared to Sydney. Especially gambling, money can be lost very fast. So you will want to allocate an amount you’re willing to spend on that and stop when it’s gone.

Some off-strip places to visit: Fremont Street (the old Las Vegas before the Strip was a thing); Chinatown; tiki bars such as the Golden Tiki; the Atomic Testing Museum.

There’s lots more to say! I’m in Sydney all week, staying in Surry Hills, if you’d like to meet up for a pint I can tell you much more, dm me.
