Not every street a few minutes from the Strip is a good place to walk around if you’re visiting. Our driver, David, a full-time Las Vegas Uber Black driver, filmed a drive east on Sands Avenue, past the Sphere, to where Sands turns into Twain Avenue. In the video, he explains why it’s a stretch he tells his riders to skip on foot.
David’s tips for visitors
- Once you head east off the resort corridor on Sands, the scene changes quickly.
- David’s advice: tourists shouldn’t walk the Sands-to-Twain stretch.
- If you want to see more of the city, take a ride instead of walking.
- Stick to busy, well-lit streets, especially at night.
This is David’s personal opinion from years behind the wheel in Las Vegas, not police data or an official crime ranking.
