Well, like any place with a reputation, the rumors are probably exagerated. Reputations tend to sensationalize, concentrate on the extreme. You have to be watchful anywhere these days for purse snatchers and con artists and the ilk. Vegas is a vacation spot - that is the local industry. I am sure that the people who live there want visitors to have a good time, so they probably mostly try to be helpful, especially people at the airport, hotel, attractions, and restaurants. It is probably helpful to have a traveling companion so you don't feel all alone. I have my husband so of course we feel safer together and share the delays, occasional misplaced luggage, asking for directions, and other frustrations of traveling.
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.
