Vegas is a cityof high rollers and big stakes. That being said, with one errant bet or one bad flop, you could find yourself a little short on cash. And, as you might imagine, being broke in Vegas takes all the fun out of it. Luckily, we’ve compiled some great tips for how you can save on your next trip, so you can take full advantage of the shows, the restaurants, the clubs, and – of course – the games.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. \u00a0Get there on the Cheap<\/strong><\/div>\n
This one should be common sense, but scoring discount airline tickets to Las Vegas is your number one way to save money before you even land. \u00a0Check out our cheap flights to Las Vegas<\/a> to get you started on your money-saving adventure.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\n2. \u00a0Shop<\/strong><\/div>\n
Yes, the retail stores that hug most Las Vegas casinos carry almost ungodly pricetags. \u00a0But if you are going to hit the tables without much discipline, think again. \u00a0My motto: better to leave Vegas with some smashing Jimmy Choos than to leave with an empty bank account and nothing to show for it. \u00a0Not ready to splurge? \u00a0There are plenty of outlet shops within the city limits.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\n3. \u00a0Wait until the last minute<\/strong><\/div>\n
When it comes to Vegas shows, with very few exceptions, they typically don’t sell out. \u00a0Last minute ticket resellers line the strip and casinos. \u00a0You can score up to 50% off from the retail price of tickets by waiting until the day of or day before your show. \u00a0Don’t be lured by non-licensed scalpers; defrauding tourists is an unfortunate pastime in Sin City.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\n4. \u00a0Don’t buy drinks<\/strong><\/div>\n
There are plenty of ways to score free drinks in Vegas, and not all of them require that you be female. \u00a0Ladies can snag free cocktails at numerous nightclubs (including Tao, LAX, Lavo, Pure Nightclub, and Tryst), just ask an attendant for details. \u00a0If you don’t happen to be female, or just can’t wait till the clubs open, you can still enjoy free drinks in Vegas while gambling in any casino. \u00a0From penny slots to high stakes poker, cocktail waitresses meander through the casinos with free drinks for gamblers. \u00a0Be sure to tip well; a good tip (at least $1\/drink or $5 up front) will ensure better quality beverages and quicker returns.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\n5. Buffet hop<\/strong><\/div>\n
Do your research on the cost of restaurants (most of which have lost the budget feel from a few decades ago). \u00a0If you feel like the prices might be too high, consider staying at a hotel that offers all day or mulit-day \u00a0buffet passes for unlimited use during your trip. \u00a0Participating hotels include Caesar’s Palace, Paris, Planet Hollywood, Rio, Excalibur, MGM Grand, and the Luxor. \u00a0Some of these hotels participate in a multi-destination pass allowing you to eat at a variety of hotels giving you both savings and variety.<\/div>\n
