Is Vegas Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Yes! I have personally traveled the world as a solo single female, and I can tell you from experience that Las Vegas is a safe city for women to travel to alone. Like any major city, you need to keep your wits about you, keep hold of your belongings, and report suspicious characters to security or the police.

Stick to the main tourist areas (namely, the Strip and Fremont Street Experience), and you’ll feel quite safe. You’ll be surrounded by a sea of people most of the time that will make you forget you’re alone. Police presence in the main tourist areas is very tight, and security in the casinos and hotels is top-notch.

Go on a Guided Tour

Booking a guided tour of Vegas is a great way to explore the city safely, make new friends, and get awesome recommendations from a local expert.

Or you might want to take a guided day trip to the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, or the Valley of Fire.

Wear a Fanny Pack

Yeah, we know… it might look a little dorky. But carrying your personal items and money in a fanny pack keeps it safe and organized during moments of sensory overload (and there are a lot of those in Vegas). If you’re dead set on carrying a normal handbag, don’t let it out of your sight.
