### 5/5 — My favorite Vegas app!

*2024-11-28, version 15.0.3*

Excellent for traveling to Vegas. My favorite part is the ability to find restaurants by location. It tells you what’s nearby, what’s open, and usually has a link to the menu. Been using this app for years and it has gotten better and better.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2023-03-30, version 12.5*

Super easy to use, it is a definite must have for planning out any trips to Vegas. I never am able to do everything I want when I visit, and it’s nice to have past trips saved with stuff I have already researched. Also great you can add trips way out in the future.

### 5/5 — Useful app with helpful updates

*2022-06-15, version 11.1*

Thai is a great tool for planning Vegas trips as well as finding places to go. Whenever we plan a trip we inevitably talk about places that we forget about once we're in the middle of it all. Pair this with Vegas Lists, another app that helps you save those places on your wish and to-do lists, and you've got a good way to have an even better time in Las Vegas.

### 5/5 — VegasMate is great!

I use VegasMate to put together a list of places I want to visit in Vegas. The App gives great info regarding hours and menus for restaurants as well as great maps to know where you are going. 

The app creator, Hunter, has put together a great place to help people who love Las Vegas love it even more. Hunter is awesome.
