Prices in Las Vegas
Prices in Las Vegas, except for hotels, are generally quite high. Few shows are cheaper than US$ 50 and an ice cream can often set you back more than US$ 5. Luckily, for those on a budget, Las Vegas is full of fast-food restaurants which are even cheaper than in Europe.

Here are some examples of Las Vegas prices so that you can plan your budget accordingly:

Tips
As with most of the United States, in Las Vegas, many hospitality workers depend on tips. If the restaurant does not include the tip in the bill (although most do), the standard custom is to leave a tip of between 10% and 20% of the total bill.
