Saving Money in Las Vegas

So you’re looking to save a few dollars while in Las Vegas. I know, trying to save money in a city that is fueled by the green stuff seems moronic, or does it? The lure of Las Vegas stems from the ability to have a crack at a small fortune. The majority of people that frequent Las Vegas gamble, they wager small and big amounts alike. That's what keeps the city going. So, how can you do it for less?

Find the best way to save money on a trip to Las Vegas

Find a cheap flight to Las Vegas

First, before leaving for Las Vegas search a few sites that can get you incredible low cost accommodations, sites such as bargainsonlasvegas and e-vegas will offer discounted rates at most hotels.

Compare rates on Las Vegas Hotel rooms

When looking for airfare it gets a bit tricky. You could call the airlines and get an incredible fare but that is a long shot. Trying the bulk rates offered by many travel outfitters such as tripspot and Go Vegas and Vegas.com often proves effective. If you are somewhat flexible with your dates and your times of travel hotwire is a sure way to get the best possible fares from most cities. I have had a tremendous amount of success using orbitz and smarter living as they are set up by the airlines and seem to have the first shot at internet specials.

You could also try:

• Whichbudget.com - The site should help you find an airline to Las Vegas at a cheap price.
• Jet Blue and Southwest Airlines both offer no frills cheap airfare to Las Vegas.
• Cheap Ticketshas an occasional great deal that warrants looking at.
• Kayak can also find you a terrific deal on airfare to Las Vegas.

It is always wise to keep in mind when you are going to Las Vegas, if it is the weekend of a major championship boxing match, it might be harder to find a quality room at a good price, while in the middle of summer on Wednesday in July you might be offered free tickets to shows and buffets.

A little searching will always get you some offer from a hotel looking to fill some space.

Coupon books that are available through the strip offer great deals on food and gambling. I will update this page with a list of locations to get the best coupons available. You can however, see funbook and have a coupon book mailed to you. Other outfits such as LV Free offer a coupon book for a fee. These can be helpful but I have found that if you walk into the shops along Las Vegas blvd. you can normally find a few coupon books.

You can still find extremely inexpensive options in Las Vegas, it is just a matter of searching. I will search for you, check back periodically to find better deals.

When looking for hotels check the offers and promotions available at many of the properties on the Las Vegas strip. You could easily shave off some of the cost of your vacation with a little extra research.
