The Money You Bring To
Vegas, Stays in Vegas
(How to not break the bank on your Vegas vacation)
Whether you’ve been dating for a year or
just think spending some money is the best way to get down her
pants, Vegas is a great place to show your love while still
having fun. Sexy men and women provide eye-candy for all. But
Beth, you whine like a little girl, how will I afford a trip
like that? I am only in college and I can barely afford to
eat. Well, suck it up, live on bread and water for a month,
and follow my easy tips to an affordable luxury vacation.
Gambling:
Depending on what floats your boat, you may want to enter a
Texas hold-um tournament, cruise the blackjack tables, or
spend time at the slots. Regardless of your choice, one rule
applies to them all: only spend what you are willing to loose.
But Beth, you cry, I already knew that. Well, here is
something that perhaps you don’t know. Before you leave,
decide what games you want to play. Generally you can find
coupons that will give you such benefits like spend $20 and
get $40 worth of slot play, or double cash back at black jack.
Also, if you have a certain hotel you like to play at, it may
be to your advantage to join their player’s club, which has
rewards and double cash back, and other money saving things
like that.
In Vegas, you get free drinks while you gamble. Granted, they
are not the tastiest concoctions, but, nonetheless, they are
free. To maximize your money and drinking time at the tables,
don’t play every hand. Sit out and watch for a bit, and only
play occasionally. If you go with a friend, don’t play while
your friend plays, and let your friend watch you while you
play. Make the casino give you something for nothing! Now,
remember, as you drink, you will play worse, hence my first
rule, only bet what you are willing to lose, but the odds are
against you anyway so live it up while you can!
Shows:
My favorite part of Vegas! I love going from casino to casino
and checking out what they have. Don’t worry, you don’t have
to break the bank to watch these, just follow these tips:
1) Almost every casino has at lease one free show. Circus
Circus has a free acrobat show and other famous ones include:
Fountain show, pirate show, and the volcano show. Other
casinos have hidden shows so check them out before you leave
for Nevada.
2) If you don’t have a specific show to see, check online for
two-for-one coupons. These will save you a lot of money. I
saved over $200 on my last trip. Simply split the cost of one
with your friend/lover and have fun. Almost all the shows in
Vegas are good; so don’t worry if you haven’t heard of it
before.
3) If you have a specific show you want to see, find out what
hotel it is at. Then, call the hotel and see if they have a
guest discount. You may find it to your advantage to stay at
that hotel. Also, search online for coupons. You never know
what you will find.
Restaurants:
Number one rule of buffets is this: All buffets in Vegas cost
about $7. The difference is the food quality. If you are
staying in old Vegas, DO NOT EAT AT YOUR HOTEL’S BUFFET. Go to
the Palms or the MGM Grand and eat a nice meal for the same
price. Otherwise, look online for coupons. Planet Hollywood
and Hard Rock Café have $5 off ones and there are many more. I
found lots of coupons for 10-20% off various establishments.
Coupons really can save you a lot of money if you take the
time to look for them.
Hotels and Airfare:
These may seem expensive, but in actuality, they are not. Look
online for special offers and both of these can become very
cheap. Don’t book these too early though, especially the hotel
room, so they have more time to issue offers if business is
slow. Most hotels offer a different rate for weekdays than
weekends, so think about taking your vacation during the week.
And remember, Vegas is one of the cheapest places in the world
to fly to, so don’t get stressed out!
The keys to a cheap and fun vacation are
planning, timing, and taking it slow, just like with any
satisfying endeavor.
