I am staying at the MGM...wow, I didn't realize how close the airport was to that hotel. I am definitely ok to walk it. However, I'm getting in at 9pm. Would the walking be safe (other people around, sidewalks, etc)? I grew up in NY, so I'm a city boy, but I also don't want to get mugged/run over to save some $$.
I've warned my friends that I don't find the typical Vegas stuff desirable (gambling/strip clubs/expensive dinners, clubs). They don't live near me, so they don't know how frugal I've become. They keep thinking that once they get me out there, my old gambling/partying self will show up. If I show up having walked it from the airport, they will finally believe me!
