Set up your app for Vegas

  1. Use your home location. If you work on the Strip, your app may show you visitors all shift long.
  2. Keep your distance realistic. 15 to 25 miles covers most of the valley.
  3. Put "local" in your profile. "Henderson local, 8 years" tells visitors to keep scrolling.
  4. Mention your schedule. "Swing shift, so I'm a weekday-lunch dater" attracts people it works for.
  5. Ask early. "How long have you been in Vegas?" is a normal first question.
