Two million people live in Las Vegas and almost none of them are on the Strip. "Rent a friend Las Vegas" is the search for one of them, from the forty million visitors a year who come alone more often than the adverts suggest.
What a Las Vegas Local Friend is for#
| Plan | Why a local matters |
|---|---|
| Chinatown, Spring Mountain Road | The best food in the city, at non-casino prices |
| Fremont Street and the Arts District | Downtown, where locals actually drink |
| Red Rock Canyon | Early, before the heat, with someone who has the parking figured out |
| A show or a night out | The thing you didn't want to do alone |
| The free night after a convention | Business travellers are the city's quietest solo visitors |
Company, not an escort#

Rent a friend in the USA explains the model, and how much it costs explains the price: worldwide most Local Friends charge $15 to $50 an hour, agreed before you meet.
