What to post in r/vegas
What fits the room, and what gets removed.
Works well
- A genuine question about visiting Las Vegas, like asking locals for their take on something a tourist would want to know.
- A helpful answer to a visitor question, written from your own real experience of the city.
- A post that shares something useful about Las Vegas tourism, like an honest tip a visitor would appreciate.
- A soft mention of your product only when it genuinely solves a Las Vegas travel problem, framed as a personal recommendation rather than a pitch.
- A conversation starter about the city itself, since the community is run by locals who clearly enjoy talking about where they live.
Avoid
- Posting something with no connection to Las Vegas, since the moderator one-liner asks that posts stay relevant to the city.
- Being rude or combative in comments, because the moderator one-liner explicitly asks people to be respectful.
- Dropping a link with no context and no effort to join the conversation, which reads as spam even in a community with no written rules.
- Posting the same promotional message repeatedly, which is the fastest way to wear out your welcome when moderators are judging relevance case by case.
- Treating the lack of published rules as permission to post whatever you want, when the actual instruction is to keep things Las Vegas focused and respectful.
- Posting local resident business questions here when the description points locals to the sister subreddit r/Vegaslocals.

What r/vegas Is For
This is the original Las Vegas subreddit, and it is run by people who actually live in Las Vegas. The description says both locals and visitors are welcome, but the focus is tourist focused. That tells you the main conversation is about visiting the city, things to do, where to stay, and what the city is like. If you live in Las Vegas and want to talk about local life, the description points you to the sister subreddit r/Vegaslocals instead. So this room is really about Las Vegas as a place people visit and experience, with locals on hand to answer.
What To Post
Since this community is tourist focused, the safest and most useful posts are ones that help someone visiting Las Vegas. Think about what you genuinely know that a visitor would want, and share it in your own words. If you are a founder, the respectful move is to join the conversation as a person first, not as a marketer. Answer questions about the city, share something useful from your own experience, and only mention what you built if it naturally fits the topic and the community would actually benefit from it. A good test is this: would a local reading this find it helpful or interesting about their city? If yes, it probably fits. If the only reason it fits is that your product could be sold to tourists, hold off.
What To Avoid
There are no published rules here, so I cannot point you to a specific rule that gets posts removed. What I can point to is the moderator one-liner, which asks for two things: keep your posts relevant to Las Vegas, and be respectful. A post that has nothing to do with Las Vegas, or a post that picks fights with people, is going against the only guidance this community gives. The survival tip says the same thing in plain words: keep your posts focused on Las Vegas tourism and local life.
A note from Anthony
A city subreddit with no published rules is rare, and it tells me the moderators here lean on one simple test: is it Las Vegas, and is it respectful. That is actually a friendly setup for a founder, because there is no rulebook to memorize, just a topic to stay inside. I would still be careful, since with no written rules the moderators have more room to judge each post on feel. My advice is to show up as a helpful person talking about Vegas, not as a marketer who happens to be talking about Vegas.
