Four SCAMS and Hustles You WILL see in Las Vegas

I saw four common Las Vegas scams and hustles on a five minute walk yesterday. Vegas in general is a safe, enjoyable and walkable city with plenty to do and see. An interaction with an agressive hustler or street performer, show girl or shady skincare sales person could leave you with a sour experience. Here is what you need go be on the lookout for so you don’t miss a thing. #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #vegasscams #vegashustle #thingstodoinvegas #vegasthingstodo #wheretogoinvegas #vegasshowgirl #skincarescam #scam #hustle #vegasnews #vegassafety #vegasvacation #vegastips #vegaslocal #vegasexperience #vegasbaby #vegasstrip #creatorsearchinsights

Saw the monk yesterday going from NYNY to MGM. He tried handing me a bracelet and I yelled “HEY IVE SEEN YOU ON TIKTOK” he didn’t seem as amused as I was 😂😂

Saw everyone of these things last week when hubby and I were in Vegas. Just kept on walking past everyone of them. They've even got it posted on Fremont Street that street performers are not part of the Fremont Experience and cannot demand payment, which was new since last August when we last visited.

We had someone try to scam us on the street with the old "you ran into me, causing me to drop my phone, the screen is cracked now, and you should pay $300 to replace it." He then aggressively followed us for a while, yelling and trying to make a scene. In truth, he ran into me in a not-crowded area and slammed his shoulder into me on purpose. Go away, scammer!

I have seen all of these many times going to Vegas. The one that gets me is the monk with the beads because they pretend not know English, and I dislike immensely the young ladies that tell you you basically look old and they got something to make you look younger. One rule of thumb in Vegas. Never accept anything from anybody in your hand because they want money.🤑

I think their bodies looked more than fine in fact better than the average person, the one girl just had on WAY too much makeup (In my opinion, it was far away tho. this could be part of the outfit though like cheerleading or acting on a stage. Sometimes calls for gaudy makeup.) and their outfits had literally no effort put into them. They were just wearing a thong for pants. I wanna see frills and sequins all over the place. If you want to be worth a 100 dollars for a picture you better look worth the price.

UPDATE: I went to Atlantic City for the first time recently, and we only saw one fake Buddhist monk, and he barely made an effort to sell it. He had a yellow bucket hat, yellow dashiki, and instead of wooden balls on a string around his wrist it was some cheap friendship bracelet from the local vendors. I felt bad laughing, but not that bad.
