Las Vegas.
Once upon a time Las Vegas was known as “Sin City”–famous for its casinos and show girls.\u00a0 But today’s Vegas has much more to offer:\u00a0 shows, shopping and plenty of family-friendly activities as well.\u00a0 And you don’t need to be a high-roller to enjoy what Las Vegas has to offer; a Las Vegas vacation can be done on the cheap!
So put away the inflatable pool and pack your bags–here’s a list of tips for saving money in Las Vegas:
1. Look for Las Vegas Travel Deals<\/strong>
Las Vegas is a popular place for tourists so travel sites such as Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia often feature Las Vegas package deals.\u00a0 I’ve seen Las Vegas hotel deals for as little as $70 per night for luxury accommodations.\u00a0 You can find information about these packages–and make them even more affordable with Las Vegas coupons–at sites that specialize in deals like Savings.com.
2.\u00a0 Plan in advance<\/strong>
Check out the Las Vegas Official Tourism Web Site for ideas on where to stay and what to see in Las Vegas.\u00a0 Booking in advance can get you the best rates and making reservations for off-season or mid-week dates rather than for weekends or during holidays can save you a bundle of cash.\u00a0 Also, make sure to research what shows will be in town when scheduling your vacation to help you avoid being stuck with tickets to Wayne Newton when you’re jonesing to see Bon Jovi.
3.\u00a0 Don’t Gamble<\/strong>
…or at least set a limit and stick to it.\u00a0 I know gambling has a powerful appeal to many people, although I’ve never understood the thrill of it.\u00a0 Personally if I’m dropping a wad of cash, I want there to be something leather in my closet to show for it.\u00a0 There are plenty of things to do in Las Vegas other than gamble–no need to spend all your time in a Las Vegas casino!
4.\u00a0 Free Admission<\/strong>
While it will cost you a chunk of change to see Cirque de Soleil or the Blue Man Group perform, there’s a veritable wealth of amazing things to see in Las Vegas for free.\u00a0 The spectacular Bellagio Fountains, the talking statues at Caesars Palace and the Shark Tank at the Mirage cost nothing and make for some great entertainment.\u00a0 Maybe not quite as enchanting as Cirque de Soleil, but definitely more amusing than a Carrot Top stand-up show. \u00a0
For other cost-free forms of Las Vegas entertainment, you can have fun people-watching and window shopping–or check out this more comprehensive list of free Las Vegas attractions on About.com
5.\u00a0 Deals on Meals<\/strong>
If you fill up at one of Las Vegas’ many all-you-can-eat buffets, you can cut down on your food costs.\u00a0 One meal big meal vs. three moderate ones can save you some real money.\u00a0 You can also buy deeply discounted gift certificates in advance for Las Vegas restaurants at restaurant.com. \u00a0
And, while there is no such thing as a free lunch, there are free drinks at the Las Vegas casinos–if you’re gambling.\u00a0 So you can sit yourself down at a nickel slot machine and if you tip the waitress well, she’ll keep the drinks coming.\u00a0 The logic behind this largess, however, is that an inebriated customer will gamble longer and lose more money.\u00a0 So know your limits–for your body as well as your budget!
A Las Vegas vacation has something for everyone–from wedding chapels to art museums, shows and shopping, golfing and gambling.\u00a0 By doing some research for Las Vegas packages, Las Vegas travel deals or Las Vegas coupons, you can make that Las Vegas vacation extremely affordable.\u00a0 So the secret to a \u201cwinning\u201d Las Vegas getaway is:\u00a0 plan in advance, stick to your budget and never double down when the dealer has a ten or an ace!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
