Editorial policy & standards

How we research, write, review and keep our Las Vegas guides accurate — and why you can trust what you read here.

Who we are

Las Vegas Compass is an independent Las Vegas travel guide, written and maintained by the Las Vegas Compass Editorial Team. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any casino, resort operator, show producer, tour company or tourism authority — and we never present sponsored content as independent advice. Our goal is simple: help you plan a better Las Vegas trip with clear, honest, practical guidance.

How we research and write

Our guides are built from hands-on knowledge of the Strip, Downtown and the surrounding desert, official resort, venue and operator information, and careful cross-checking of details that change — resort fees, parking charges, show line-ups, pool seasons and transport options. Where something is variable or changes often (room rates, residency schedules, nightclub policies, seasonal events and conventions), we say so and tell you to confirm the current details before you travel, rather than presenting a moving target as fixed fact.

How we keep guides up to date

Las Vegas changes constantly — resorts rebrand, shows open and close, fees shift, policies are revised. Every page shows a "Last updated" date so you can see how current it is, and we revise guides as things change. Live elements, such as the tours and experiences pulled from our travel partners, update automatically from current availability rather than relying on a fixed, dated list.

Independence and how we make money

Las Vegas Compass is free to read and funded by affiliate partnerships — with hotel-booking sites and tour and ticket platforms such as Viator, GetYourGuide and Tiqets — and possibly display advertising. When you book through some of our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes our recommendations — we recommend what we believe is genuinely best for your trip, not what pays the most, and we flag the trade-offs honestly even when a partner is involved. Full details are in our affiliate disclosure.

Corrections and feedback

We work hard to be accurate, but Las Vegas is a big, fast-moving destination and mistakes happen. If you spot something out of date or wrong, please tell us — we take corrections seriously and update promptly. You can reach us through the contact page. Reader feedback genuinely makes these guides better.

A note on accuracy

Everything here is guidance, not a guarantee. Room rates, resort fees, show times, ticket prices, opening hours and policies are set by the resorts, venues and operators and can change at any time — always confirm the current details on the official site before booking or travelling. When in doubt, the official venue and resort websites are the final word. Prices on this site are given as ranges current as of 2026, not quotes.
