Affiliate Disclosure

How we earn money and maintain independence

Last Updated: January 7, 2026

FTC Disclosure Requirement

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255, Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, VegasTourism.com discloses that we may earn affiliate commissions from purchases made through links on this website.

What Are Affiliate Links?

When you click on certain links to hotels, booking platforms, or experiences on VegasTourism.com and make a purchase or booking, we may receive a small commission from the merchant. This is called an affiliate commission.

Important: Affiliate commissions do not cost you anything extra. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the booking site. In many cases, our affiliate partners offer exclusive deals that can actually save you money.

Our Affiliate Partners

VegasTourism.com currently participates in the following affiliate programs:

  • Agoda - Hotel booking platform for Las Vegas accommodations
  • GetYourGuide - Tours, shows, and experiences booking platform

Editorial Independence

Our recommendations are based on genuine research, personal experience, and user reviews — not affiliate commission rates. We maintain complete editorial independence from our affiliate partners.

What this means in practice:

  • We do not accept payment for favorable reviews or rankings
  • Hotels cannot pay to be featured or recommended on our site
  • Our "best of" lists are based on objective criteria and user feedback, not commission rates
  • We clearly distinguish between editorial content and any sponsored content (if applicable)
  • We only recommend hotels, shows, and experiences we genuinely believe provide value to our readers

How We Use Affiliate Revenue

Affiliate commissions help us cover the costs of running VegasTourism.com, including:

  • Website hosting and maintenance
  • Research and content creation
  • Visiting hotels and experiences to provide firsthand reviews
  • Regular content updates to ensure information remains accurate
  • Keeping the site free for all visitors

When We Don't Earn Commissions

Not every recommendation we make earns us a commission. We regularly recommend:

  • Free attractions and experiences (Bellagio Fountains, Fremont Street, etc.)
  • Budget-friendly tips and money-saving strategies
  • Hotels or booking platforms where we don't have affiliate relationships
  • Local restaurants, bars, and venues that don't offer affiliate programs

If we think something is worth your time, we'll tell you — whether we earn a commission or not.

Your Support Makes This Possible

When you book through our affiliate links, you're directly supporting the creation of free, honest, and ad-free travel content. We don't plaster the site with banner ads or pop-ups. Instead, we earn modest commissions from actual bookings made by readers who trust our recommendations.

Thank you for supporting independent travel journalism.

Price Comparison Promise

We always encourage you to compare prices across multiple booking platforms. While we appreciate when you use our affiliate links, we'd rather you get the best deal — even if that means booking elsewhere.

If you find a significantly better price on another platform, we want to know about it. Contact us at hello@vegastourism.com.

Questions About Our Affiliate Relationships?

We believe in full transparency. If you have questions about our affiliate partnerships, specific recommendations, or how we choose what to feature, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Cookie Policy Note

Our affiliate partners use cookies to track referrals and attribute commissions. When you click an affiliate link, a cookie is placed on your device that typically expires after 24 hours (Agoda: 1-day cookie window). If you book within that timeframe, we may earn a commission.

These cookies do not track your browsing beyond the booking platform and are solely used for affiliate attribution.

Summary: VegasTourism.com earns affiliate commissions from hotel bookings and experiences booked through our links. These commissions do not affect the prices you pay and do not influence our editorial recommendations. We only recommend places and experiences we genuinely believe provide value to our readers.
