Here are some tips to getting to Vegas on a budget and saving some bucks!



HOTELS:

-When planning a trip to Vegas be careful of the days in which you book your stays. If you looking for a cheaper vacation plan your trip during the week because the most expensive days to stay are the weekends. 

-When booking your hotel do not always rely on the booking site to have the best deal.  Most hotels have specials, however, some other sites negotiate better deals for the deal savvy traveler. I recommend looking at these sites before you book your travel.  These sites will sometimes offer extremely good deals including free (food, gambling, nights and discounts on other goods)

AIRFARE:

-When booking your flight to Vegas there are many options so be very careful what you choose. A couple of ways of getting there are to book in advance or last minute. Both of these options have there advantages but booking in advance does not guarantee a good deal. I recommend doing your research on companies that have been serving Las Vegas for years. Also, Checkout our currently Daily Deals which include super cheap airfare to Vegas.

US Residents should try companies like :  Allegiant  Southwest  United  American  Northwest  JetBlue  Virgin

Canada Residents should try companies like :  WestJet  Air Canada  Sunwing  Air Transat

-Most of these companies offer great deals that include Hotel+Airfare all in one. Through our research we have found that most times we could find cheaper deals by applying coupon codes to the hotel sites and searching for airfare separately.

-Vegas hosts many fantastic shows including Comedians, Adult and of course Circe du Soleil.  All of which will run you from as little as $20 to as high as $500 per ticket. We found you some easy ways of saving hundreds of dollars on your show tickets.

-First apply the same method as hotels, for a show like Cirque du Soleil "Mystere"

-Second, make sure you look around, shows like "KA" and "O" will most likely be the most expensive, however, they might have excellent deals. If the website that hosts the promo code doesn't work simply copy the code down, go directly to the show site and insert it into the promo code blank.

-Third, try going to the shows website to see if an applicable deal is currently on. As shows tend to run 3 times nightly make sure you check all show times for specials.

-Also try asking the hotel you are at if they have any in-house discounts, sometimes staying at a certain hotel will net you a cheaper ticket.



GETTING AROUND:

-Most of the time in Vegas you are walking distance from many of the attractions, however, if you need to take transportation here are a few ways:

Deuce - A Bus that runs 24/7 up and down the strip at a cost of around $5USD for a day pass
Taxi  - Make sure you bring cash, these cabs don't take Credit Card
Limousine - Ride in style in and around Vegas in any style of Limo you can imagine
Car Rental- Rent a Lambo, Street Bike or your favorite Porsche



SHOPPING:

-When in Vegas you must venture to some of the various shopping centers. The indoor/outdoor malls boast some premier worldwide stores such as Tiffany, Marciano and Gucci.

Miracle Mile Shops
Forum Shops at Caesar's
Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian
Le Boulevard at Paris Las Vegas
Tower Shops at Stratosphere
Fashion Show Mall
Las Vegas Premium Outlets



CASINO TIPS:

PLAYERS CARDS- If you plan on gambling is Vegas always sign up for the local casino's players card. It is free and when you spend your money (WIN or LOSE) you gain points which can be redeemed for Comp's. (ex. Food, Free nights etc).

CASINO COUPON BOOK- Some people may not like using coupons, however, almost every casino offers them. Some are worthwile and some are not. Some examples would be ($50 gambling credit, 2 for 1 sandwich, 2 for 1 Buffett. When you walk into a casino ask the information desk if they have one, 1 free $50 slot credit may be worth your while if you have to kill some time.

DRINKS- The most common mistake in Vegas is not accepting the free drinks while gambling. They are completely *FREE* so take advantage of these perks while your spending your money. It is a common to tip your server around $1 for one drink. My previous experience had the server coming back more often when I tipped around $2.

FREE SHOWS- Most Hotels offer a nightly/daily show that is completely free. You simply go to the hotel when they are scheduled to play and enjoy. Here''s a list of my top 3: Click here for more..

Sirens of TI (Treasure Island)- Best show on the strip playing nightly
Volcano show (Mirage)- Under Construction but will but will be showing soon.
Fountains (Bellagio)- Runs all day long.
