What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, right? You can get as wild as you want, drink and party until dawn outside and lounge by the pool all day.

All of this may be true, however, there are still some things you don’t do while you’re here. Here is a short list of the top 7:

1) DO NOT be rude to waiters – these people have feelings, children and employers. Even bouncers/bartenders/dealers/cocktail waitresses have their limits! Think about it, you may be there to have a good time, but these people have rules that they have to follow.

2) DO NOT dance on the chairs, the tables, the bar: you will only have the opportunity to be up there for 30 seconds, the exact time it will take for the security guard to approach you and order. come back down Do not climb on any part or piece of furniture unless you see other bosses doing so. And don’t think that because there are professionals dancing on a podium that you can join them. This is a sure way to get kicked out of the club.

3) DO NOT forget to tip. The staff lives almost entirely on tips, and their actual hourly earnings hover around minimum wage. If you decide not to tip, you should expect some really bad table service and a swarm of animosity to be around you. Cocktail waitresses and bartenders will really avoid you. Dealers and slot attendants should be tipped when you win, and valet and cocktail waitresses should be tipped at all times. The only difference between a good tip and a bad tip is a few dollars.

4) DO NOT avoid crosswalks when crossing Las Vegas Blvd. Crazy tourists are killed every year trying to dodge taxis, locals, and visitors driving down the street at 60+ mph. Still, if you’re not convinced by your safety, the police may fine you $250 for jaywalking. Clark County has spent millions of dollars to pay for pedestrian overpasses. Use them, use them.

5) DO NOT flirt with a cocktail waitress. Guys: They may be in short dresses and they may be flirting with you, but that’s because that’s their JOB. Their warm smiles and enthusiastic greetings are what their employers want them to do and these behaviors do not mean that they like/have a crush on you/want to be intimate with you. Making a move on them will do nothing but make them roll their eyes as they walk. Just enjoy the drinks, the laughs and the atmosphere and forget about everything else.

6) DO NOT dress like a bum. Girls: please don’t take the smallest dress you have, which barely fit you 12 years ago, or use your vacation as a reason to buy a new hoochie dress from Forever 21 that doesn’t hide all your bits. If you’re over 40, don’t shop there. If you think this doesn’t apply to you, then it probably does. You will look and feel uncomfortable and end up drinking more to suppress insecurity. You may be trying to be sexy, but if you have love handles, it will show through in that tank top or worse, the rolls showing under that top. Ewww. Nobody wants to see that. Dress sexy, not hoochie – THERE IS a difference.

7) DON’T be an idiot. You’re not Joe Pesci in Casino and no one will see you as cool because you’re acting like a selfish jerk. Don’t walk around pretending you’re the big man in Vegas unless you’re really Sean Combs or Janet Jackson. If you’re reading this, chances are you’re not them.
