Las Vegas is no doubt the ideal place to have a fun-filled and exciting holiday. Unless you are cautious enough, your holiday can also turn into a recipe for financial disaster. People often return from Las Vegas completely broke or financially stripped down. To avoid ending up in such a situation, outlined in this article are some simple tips that you can follow to keep your Las Vegas trip both fun-filled and pocket-friendly.
Zero in on the Hotel before the Trip
Accommodation will be among the most prohibitive expenses of your vacation. If you are on a tight budget, look for value or budget hotels. You can easily look up the hotels and their rates online. Some of these budget hotels can be really shabby so make sure that you look at their reviews before getting excited by their cheap rates. Trip Advisor will have reviews from people who have actually stayed in the hotel and some hotel websites will even have photographs of the rooms.
If you are going in a group, the cost of accommodation per person will be cheaper. Try to get extra beds instead of going for a larger room. It will not be difficult to find hotels with charges close to $40 a night. Although the rooms and facilities in such hotels may not be anything to boast about, but after all you just need a place to sleep at night. It makes sense to avoid spending the better part of your trip budget on a room.
Rent a House
If you do not want to stay in a hotel, try renting a house, especially if you are going in a large group of 8-10 people. It is possible to get a great house for around $300 a night. Renting a house will not only help you cut costs, but will also get you luxuries like pools, great furniture and appliances.
Gamble with Care
Unless you are careful about the money you are spending in casinos, you can easily go bankrupt in Las Vegas. Look for a casino whose charges for craps tables are lower. Also, many casinos will be generous with their alcohol if you are gambling. Some of the lesser known casinos might actually turn out to be better than the big and famous joints.
Lastly, avoid overspending or going for a shopping spree in Las Vegas. Make your trip a memorable one in a good way!
