Las Vegas is in a class by itself, with its mini gambling cities within a city, visit Italy, Paris, and Morocco within an hour. It's a city not to be missed.
Stay off-strip
The famous four-mile long Las Vegas strip is a wonder until itself, but staying in the hotels on the strip could easily blow your budget in one night. Pick a hotel that is off the strip, or even downtown. Everyone travels by taxi in this town, so getting around certainly won’t be an issue.
Stuff yourself at a buffet
If you’re hungry and on a budget, then Vegas is your dream town. This city is known for it’s cheap all-you-can-eat 24-hour buffets.
Share taxis
While some people choose to rent cars in Las Vegas, it really isn’t necessary. You can take a taxi anywhere, everyone does, and if you find people who have the same casino destination in mind, share a taxi and save on the fare.
Go with friends
If you travel with several friends, this town can be much more affordable, even if you stay on the strip. The more that share your room the lower the price per person, and the same is true with taxis.
Visit the promotions booths
When you go to a casino, always stop at the promotions booth, where you can often sign up for a special gamblers club at not cost to you, and often your sign-up comes with free casino cash to spend in the casino. It’s not a lot of money, but it’s definitely good for a few slot machine spins!
Free casino shows
Many of the major casinos have free street-side shows, such as the breathtaking fountains at the Bellagio or the show at Treasure Island. Mandalay Bay has a volcanic eruption show that’s fun to watch.
Book last minute
You can find some amazing last minute deals if you are willing to book a last minute package deal. This is especially true when there is no big convention in town.
Travel during the week
Nowhere is this a more important tip, than in Las Vegas. Nearly every hotel’s rates drop dramatically on Sunday night and stay low through Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights are the most expensive and usually the most sold out.
Book in advance
The farther in advance you book a flight, the more likely you will find a cheaper rate. Make the decision now when you want to visit, and book the flight today to ensure the lowest rates.
