Yes, you definitely need comfortable shoes. The first time I went to Vegas I made the mistake of walking everywhere, thinking that the distance between hotels wasn't that great. Walking from TI to The Bellagio, I thought, couldn't be that far, as there was only one or two hotels between them.

But then I walked past Caesar's Palace...and kept on walking, and walking and walking! What seemed like an hour later, I was *still* walking past Caesar's!!

These hotels are huge, and walking inside is even worse. Walking up the strip and taking in the Miracle Mile shops at Planet Hollywood (the old Aladdin), for example, was another mistake I made, as I added an extra mile to my journey that I hadn't even considered (perhaps the name "miracle mile" should have given it away, but who expects to find literally a mile of shops within a hotel?!)

My feet hurt every time I'm in Vegas :) Oh, and a final tip - your lips will blister and your skin will crack, so bring lip balm and plenty of moisturising suntan lotion.
