But that's it. *2016-05-07, version 5.0.4* Ok. But where are many of the maps?! It's missing way too many maps. Like The Cosmopolitan, MGM, etc..... ### 5/5 — Best by far *2016-02-26, version 4.7.1* This is the only app for Vegas that you need. I go to LV 2-3 times a year so I know if information is up to date, and this app is. For a Vegas greenhorn, you can read reviews and really get a feel for what you want to do, or where you'd like to stay, while avoiding the rip offs (like cabbies taking you through the tunnel to get to the south strip). Also functions great - never had a glitch in 2 years of using it. Download. You won't regret it. ### 5/5 — Great guide! *2016-02-05, version 5.0* The only Vegas guide you'll need. ### 4/5 — Useful planning tool *2016-01-31, version 5.0* I've been using this app since 2014. Extensive database of Vegas attractions, eateries, bars, clubs and businesses which can all be pinned to a "to do" list and best of all, viewed together on a map. ### 5/5 — Great *2016-01-29, version 5.0* A lot of info and features. Heard out this app on Vegas Gang & Five Hundy By Midnight podcasts ### 5/5 — Great Info *2016-01-18, version 5.0* I download this app before every trip to Vegas, lots of great info to make getting around Vegas and planning your trip easier & more enjoyable ### 5/5 — Very useful. *2015-10-25, version 4.8.1* Used this to do a bit of research before our last trip to Vegas, very useful and visited a few places we may have missed if not for Vegasmate. I found the news section incredibly useful, get this now and upgrade to get the best out of it. Great app. that works well. ### 5/5 — Great Vegas App *2015-10-04, version 4.8.1* Vegasmate is a must have for any Las Vegas vacation. ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2015-10-01, version 4.8.1* I love this app! I especially love the cab check feature!! Thanks Hunter! Keep up the great work!!! ### 5/5 — Best app for real Vegas reviews *2015-09-26, version 4.8.1* Not written by the PR people, just others who have the app and use it. Very well done an updated every time I open it for new places to stay/play/eat ### 5/5 — Must have app! *2015-08-14, version 4.8.1* Great app! Very usefull ### 5/5 — Vegasmate! *2015-07-15, version 4.8* Time is precious when visiting Vegas - don’t waste it with at lame places - With Vegasmate on my phone, I can make plans on the fly and look like a Vegas expert to my friends. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2015-06-08, version 4.7.1* I renewed this app since it worked so well last year. Very disappointed that the dining section has so many old reviews that were worthless. Also the distance did not work. Every restaurant was 0 feet away and within walking distance. ### 5/5 — Vital App for Vegas Visitors *2015-04-11, version 4.7.1* Whether it's your first trip or you're a Vegas veteran, this app quickly becomes indispensable. I've used it since its first release in 2008, and am constantly referring to it when planning, and while on, a Vegas vacation. Plan your trip, check restaurant/hotel/show reviews, make reservations, check maps; you name it, it's in this amazing app. It works equally smoothly on my iPhone and iPad. With dozens of Vegas trips under our belts, I can't imagine a sojourn to Vegas without it. Great work, Hunter. Viva Vegas Mate! ### 5/5 — Trip planning *2014-12-09, version 4.6* So far works well !!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Search by date *2018-12-13, version 8.3.1* This does not help me sort my time I’m Going to be on the ground ### 1/5 — Crash, crash, crash *2015-07-15, version 4.8* Absolutely hopeless. Made the mistake of paying for a month before actually using it. It just crashes trying to do anything with it. Not even worth bother for free. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! *2015-05-24, version 4.7.1* I get to the Permissions black screen and nothing else. Can't use app. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Highly frustrating! *2015-03-10, version 4.7.1* I have made 3 attempts to download this app and each other time I have reached a screen stating Permissions. It's a black screen and that's it. Freakin' frustrated! ### 1/5 — Awful *2014-04-30, version 4.1.2* Do not waste your time ### 1/5 — Out of date *2014-03-13, version 4.1.2* Was prompted to do content update, but still advertising an event on first page for October 2013..it's now March 2014 ### 1/5 — Used to be Good *2014-03-10, version 4.1.2* Joining the long list of Apps that want more $$$ from you after your purchased it. Also, annoyingly sets up an always-on geofence (constantly using GPS) even when the app is closed. ### 1/5 — REMOVE ADS ASAP ASAP ASAP *2014-03-01, version 4.1.2* PLEASE cause they are REALLY ANNOYING it NEVER used to have any ads in it BEFORE ----> -5+ STARS till all ADS are REMOVED <---- ### 1/5 — Stay away *2014-02-23, version 4.1.2* Paid for original version. Now they want you to pay again. Not worth it at all. Most content reviews are outdated ### 1/5 — Crashes will not open *2014-02-12, version 4.1.1* Used to love this but crashes and never opens. Have reinstalled to no avail. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! *2021-06-07, version 10.5* 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 — Vegas Mate App *2018-12-02, version 8.3.1* This is the BEST app. I recommend it to everyone! ### 5/5 — Can’t use *2018-09-25, version 8.1* Anything on the trip screen crashes the app ### 5/5 — VegasMate *2018-07-15, version 8.0* Awesome App!! 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. ### 5/5 — all righty then *2017-11-30, version 7.0.4* I’ve for the most part enjoyed this app,and a long track record speaks well. ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-10-14, version 7.0.1* Very easy to use, great for planning trips, and definitely set up well. ### 5/5 — Great guide *2017-07-22, version 6.5.3* Super helpful!
