While the Yelp app isn’t just for Las Vegas, it’s a great app to have on hand before, during and after a trip. Before a trip you can research places to eat and/or drink and make reservations should you need. During your trip you can use the app to check in to places and make your friends back home, working or in school, jealous. After your trip you can pay it forward with a review of the places you went to let people know about where they should go.
This is a great app because there are so many reviews for each place, that it’s usually easy to find accurate information unlike some apps or websites that have less of a community.
Tip: Follow @yelplv on twitter for info and if you have any questions.
Good: Adding open table was all that was missing from previous versions.
Bad: If you’re a frequent visitor to Vegas, info gets sketchy the deeper you look.
Indifferent: Although Yelp was first on the scene with restaurant reviews, there are plenty of apps with this kind of info
