10 Things You Must Know About Managing Your Money In Las Vegas

Posted by admin | Posted in Las Vegas | Posted on 23-09-2009

Las VegasAre you planning a Las Vegas vacation?

If so, then you need to know the way to handle your money in Las Vegas. Las Vegas isn’t called the city of “lost wages” for nothing. If you’re not careful, it’s almost like your money just slips through your fingers almost like magic.

Did you know if you take out your money at one kind of ATM you could lose the same amount of your withdrawal in fees? It’s important to always be aware of the fees that are involved whenever your money changes hands in Las Vegas. If you are ever in doubt then simply ask a local. They’ll know the places to go and the places you should avoid.

If you don’t know how to handle your finances in Las Vegas, chances are you will end up a lot worse off in your hip pocket.

A little pre-planning and research will ensure that you pay the very least that you have to exchange foreign currency, cash cheques and to get a cash advance.

Of course, if you’re on vacation the last thing you want to do is to get a high interest loan while away only to return back home fro your vacation destination owing the original amount of money you borrowed PLUS 100 percent interest or more.

Here are some helpful tips for handling your money on your Las Vegas vacation.

1. Travellers cheques are not a problem at casinos, restaurants, hotels and shops in Las Vegas. You will be required to show photo id for verification.

2. Every major casino is happy to exchange your foreign currency. They will of course charge you a fee in the form of a discount from the official exchange rate applicable and for this reason you will get the best deal by using a commercial bank for this kind of banking transaction.

3. Unsecured loans are difficult to obtain in Las Vegas.

4. Many casinos will give you a credit voucher to gamblers who apply for a loan in advance of their Las Vegas vacation.

5. Most large casinos have ATMS (automatic teller machines) where you can withdraw cash from your bank account or credit card account. If you are withdrawing a cash advance you must be aware that some financial institutions charge a very hefty fee for withdrawals.

6. Cheque cashing agencies specialise in interstate money orders, savings accounts and personal cheques. You will ne 1000 ed identification and the fee will vary depending on the complexity of the transaction.

7. If you are expecting a tax refund Las Vegas has instant tax refund stands. What you are essentially doing is taking out a short term loan at an extremely high interest rate. The cost of the loan can be as high as 100 percent! This type of transaction should definitely be used with caution.

8. Las Vegas pawn shops – once again, these should always be used with caution. Don’t ever hand over something to a pawn broker that is of extreme personal value unless you can really live without it.

9. Always make sure your wallet is in a safe place. Vegas is also famous for pickpockets. Women should have purses that zip shut and have long straps on handbags so that they can go diagonally across your shoulder. Men should keep their wallet in their front pocket at all times. Keep your purse, wallet or bum bag with you at all times. Never put it down anywhere.

10. Keep a very close eye on your poker chips at casino tables. There are actually professional people who grab your chips when you are not looking.

The Ultimate Auto Cars, A Geneva Roth Venture, Plans Grand Opening In Las Vegas

Posted by admin | Posted in Las Vegas | Posted on 21-09-2009

0

Auto Cars

Geneva Roth Ventures is opening Ultimate Auto Cars in Las Vegas, NV with one simple premise… make the car-buying experience as simple as possible.

“Reliable cars at reasonable prices,” says John See, General Sales Manager, “that’s what we do.”

The days of trying to up-sell a customer are gone, See said. Too often, the customer walks onto the lot and asks about a specific car or price range and the salesman immediately starts trying to talk him into buying a car that’s out of his price range. The bait is the financing, and the reward is the money made on a higher-priced car and interest on the loan. The salesman is acting in his own self-interest and in the business’s, not the customer’s.

“We’re not going to try to talk a customer into a more expensive car. Today’s consumer comes to the lot with a greater understanding of what they’re looking for and what they can afford,” said See. He went on to discuss the amount of information available at the buyer’s fingertips on the Internet.

The used-car buyer is not looking for anything extravagant, usually a solid, reliable car to get him to and from work, run errands, etc. Ultimate Auto Car’s inventory will focus on these types of vehicles – coupes, sedans and a few SUVs.

Internet-driven business… for the time being

Ultimate Auto Cars will have its Grand Opening in mid-July. In the meantime, current inventory will be liquidated in order to buy more vehicles for the lot. See stressed that during the liquidation, no reasonable cash offer would be turned down for any of the vehicles currently in inventory.

The lot will be conveniently located on the east side of Las Vegas. The address is 3210 Fremont St. See said that the dealership would like to have 30 cars on the lot, with most priced in the $5,000-$10,000 range, although there will be some cars in a lower price range and some up to $20,000.

While Ultimate Auto Cars is waiting for the new lot to be finished and the building to be turned into the type of facility in which customers will be comfortable, buyers can access the entire inventory on the company’s website. They can then make an appointment to see any vehicle that sparks an interest by calling 702-426-6159.

No Hassle Financing is one of the cornerstones of the business. What 1000 once took hours to complete now takes a few minutes. For buyers with bad credit, or no credit at all, Ultimate Auto Cars has a “Buy Here, Pay Here Program.” The application is quick and easy. The customer’s job is their credit, and the loan provider has streamlined the approval process and the customer knows the status of the application in a few minutes.

Auto Cars

Ultimate Auto Cars also has a No Haggle Pricing Policy. The price is in the window, and that is the price whether the buyer pays cash or finances the purchase. “Everyone’s heard the story about the car salesman who says he needs to talk to his manager to get your offer approved on a car,” said See.
Most of the time, they’re not talking to the manager at all. They’re e-mailing, texting, getting some coffee. They know the bottom-dollar price on the car. The problem is, the customer doesn’t, he explained. “With Ultimate Auto Cars, they’ll know the bottom-dollar price when they look at the car.”

When purchasing a car, dependability is the most important thing. Ultimate Auto Cars provides CarFax information for every car in its inventory, available on the website.

“The experience of buying a car shouldn’t be stressful” said See. The offices are clean and comfortable. The sales staff is friendly, efficient, professional and bilingual. Information is made available to the buyer from the start, from the price to the terms.

“We make it easy to get a reliable car at an affordable price,” said See. “It doesn’t get any easier than that.”

Ultimate Auto Cars is currently located at 6965 Speedway Blvd. Ste. X106. Buyers interested in any of the cars listed on the inventory page of the website should call 702-426-6159 to make an appointment.

Las Vegas Market Information

Posted by admin | Posted in Las Vegas | Posted on 20-09-2009

0

Las Vegas MarketOne of the most common questions I get from buyer’s is “Are We There Yet?” When do you think the Las Vegas real estate market will hit bottom?”

Well, I can tell you that people much smarter than me think we got there. The banks are no longer dumping bank-owned properties on the market, whether by design or not. This is driving multiple offers on the houses that are available, pushing desire, and sometimes causing prices to go up.

The standard conversation these days regarding any property you’re buyer is interested in goes like this with your buyer and the listing agent or someone on the listing agent’s team. “OK, let me check on the status. Hello, how many offers on this property? Only 20, OK thank you.” That is, if you can get them on the phone. Many REO or Bank Owned Property Listing Teams don’t take phone calls but specify they will only respond to emails or text messages. Of course, your buyer can’t believe that’s how it works but unfortunately its true.

So now, if you’ve been waiting to get a great deal, the time to buy is now. Yes, of course we want you to buy now, but this time we really do. Condos that sold for $800,000 3 years ago can be purchased for $150,000 or less. Homes are being sold are prices that are 1/3 of what they cost to build 3 years ago. The government is willing to give you $8,000 as a tax credit that doesn’t have to be paid back but you must buy before December 1st. So huge discounts combined with tax credits, sounds like a buyer’s dream.

What are you waiting for?

The Grand Canyon, Nevada – Top Recommendation

Posted by admin | Posted in Las Vegas | Posted on 17-09-2009

0

Grand Canyon, NevadaSo you have booked your discounted flights to Las Vegas, made certain you have finished the online ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) to make certain they allow you in the United States of America, booked a hotel and rented a car, and now you are wondering what an Earth you will do when you get there!

Well No.1 on the record is evidently the casinos, otherwise why bother going away to the Worldýs gaming capital in the first place? But to be completely blunt with you, once you have set eyes on one casino floor, all the others are pretty much a replica. However it is still worth visiting numerous casinos to examine what is on the others floors with places like The Venetian being built comparable to Venice including the canals!! Circus Circus is terrific for kids, and a trip up the Stratosphere offers tremendous views of the Las Vegas valley, together with the beautiful Red Rock Canyon to the West, well worth a visit if you have hired a car.

Other hotels worth a look are Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay Bay, while those at the luxurious end, such as MGM, Bellagio, etc are nothing special from a visitorýs point of view.

One area though a lot of folk think of is the Grand Canyon Las Vegas. However many visitors from around the world fail to realise the real size of the USA, as Las Vegas is in Nevada, while the vast amount of the Grand Canyon is situated in Arizona. If you View at a map it appears barely a couple of centimetres away, no challenge travelling to it then eh? Wrong. First of all you have to cross over the Hoover Dam into Arizona, and if you are leaving from midday onwards this can take you a while to get through due to excessive traffic loads (unless the new road has opened since I wrote this!).

From the dam you assert to drive South some way along Highway 93, which is not such a bad trip but will have plenty of roadworkýs till around 2011.

Unlike the hotel car parks in Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon is pretty well sign posted, and it is a left turn onto Highway 145, towards the Skywalk. Whatever you do, donýt ignore the junction; it is miles prior to the next one. The further along this road you move, the more rugged the terrain, with the road reaching more than 5000 feet in places, supplementary oxygen is not necessary though! The more along this road you go the more you realise that Las Vegas seems a different world away.

A lot of the trip is across an Indian Reserva 1000 tion, and the final leg involves driving on an unpaved road, although they have promised to build a good smooth one for the tourists who donýt like the rugged natural feel of the desert. Although car hire companies state you are not allowed to drive off-road, the roads to the Grand Canyon are official roads even if they may possibly appear off-road to a number of people.

The whole travelling distance from The Strip is more or less 120 miles, and can take anywhere between 3-4 hours to complete, so you are looking at a complete day, so start off early. Just a separate suggestion, this is the desert, take a load of water, energy food, and ensure you have a full tank of fuel, tourists have died in the Nevada, Arizona and Californian deserts in the past, do not join the list.

Grand Canyon, NevadaIf you have not rented a car, or do not plan to drive so far yourself, many other options are on hand to view the Grand Canyon.

You can discover coach tours to the area, and these are comfortable and air-conditioned with toilets, and are good value, but again you are still trapped with the travel time and it is longer on these tours. You additionally will not be stopping every 10 minutes to take photos and video as you would if you drive yourself.

One other option that is much faster is to take to the air. You may well think this is expensive, well in nearly all cases it is. Going by helicopter is certainly not low-cost, and will put you back at least $200 per person, but it is a fantastic experience hovering in the Grand Canyon itself, and soaring over the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, as well as beautiful views of Las Vegas. A lot of folk are not aware though that you may find cheap flights from Vegas to the Canyon and that is by using a prop aeroplane. As with the helicopters, they take-off from McCarran Airport, and pick you up, and drop you off at the hotel, but the price is much lower. I haggled them down to $80 each for a 3 hour flight.

The only downside is that you canýt hover for photos, and it is noisier than the helicopters, but for the money and experience it is well worth it, and the views are just as spectacular from the air.

One final thing, if you have flown in from Europe, or Eastern USA, as soon as you leave Las Vegas, if it is a clear day, the pilot generally flies over the Grand Canyon, so you get a free view, although it may be a little misty from the altitude, and you do require a right-hand side window seat.

Right next door, your kids can take part in the Dolphin Habitat’s Trainer for a Day program, climbing into a wetsuit and right into the water with the dolphins!

There’s no shortage of family adventures in Las Vegas. Whether you’re climbing the Red Rocks or riding the Sling Shot at Circus Circus’ AdventureDome, your family’s going to clamor to come back next year.
