VEGAS IN SEPTEMBER!!! Ok its like 4 months away but its gonna be heaven after my hellish spring AND summer semesters. What should I do there, people?! Suggestions, suggestions, suggestions .. please :)
wha?! you didn't know?! awwww you're so cute hehehe yeah, when you buy stuff, take off all the tags and wear them a few times to make it look like it's urs from canada. (except leave a few to claim) that's ghetto style. lol or else if you are over the limit they will tax you if ur unlucky.
if you are away for 48 hours from canada, you are exempt $250 worth of goods. (gifts, souveniers, clothes, shoes, etc.) and you are allowed 200 cigarettes/a carton of smokes and 1.1 L of alcohol. the next level is if you're away for 7 days, you are exempt I believe $750 worth of goods. Sooo I know Vegas packages are usually only 3-4 days, you are only exempt $250. Sucks huh even though you are away for 4 days it should be $500 but it's not, it's $250 only. So on the customs form (where you have to fill out on the plane before landing) just put an amount under $250 or even $250 and make sure you have the tags/receipts on you totalling that amount in case they stop and search your stuff.
It's so crazy at customs I hate it. I dread it everytime I go anywhere, makes me feel like a criminal even when I'm not! hahha but I go away so much I pretty much know the drill and fortunately I haven't been searched/taxed/etc *knock on wood* oh, and another tip is, try to avoid the line w/ the female officers lol they are the strictest and meanest! pick a young guy if you can. ;)
oh i forgot to mention, check out Wynn Hotel too! lots of good stores and the ferrari showroom thingie and the buffet is good too!
Oh thanks for the tip!!! I seriously had NO IDEA!!! I've always wondered why ppl tell me to write down less then what I really bought. $750 is ridiculous enough but $250?! I can buy that much in like makeup and bath and body works stuff!!!
Do people ever get caught?! I really don't wanna get caught because this is definitely going to be a shopping trip.
How are the outlets? I've never been to them before!! Are they a total waste of time? My friend got back from the one in downtown not too long ago and she got tons of tennis dresses for really cheap but I've never really had luck at any outlet before :(
