The main tourist attractions of Las Vegas are its casinos and its excellent nightlife. The city is home to some of the most famous casino hotels in the United States. Large amounts of money change hands in these casinos. The cost of living for a tourist can be very high in this city. But also, there are tourist facilities in the city that are incredibly cheap. Here are some tips to enjoy the charm and specialties of Las Vegas without spending a lot of money.
The first thing to do to save money when touring Las Vegas is to have some discount coupons to use at restaurants and motels. There are several websites that offer free coupons. Some websites offer discount coupons for a nominal charge. One can find such websites through a Google search using simple keywords like “Las Vegas discount coupons”. Also look for discount coupons in major travel magazines. Almost every hotel in the city has an adjoining casino. Most of the hotels in the city also have some kind of attraction next to them. Golf clubs, amusement parks or water fountains are the most popular attractions. The enjoyment of these attractions is free for people staying in hotels that have these facilities. Bellagio Fountains and Bellagio Gardens are free not only for people staying at the Bellagio hotel, but also for passers-by and other spectators. The other free attractions include Caesars Palace Statues, Artwork at the Venetian Hotel, Lion Habitat at MGM Grand, White Lions and Shark Tank at the Mirage, and Circus performance at a hotel called Circus Circus.
There are relatively cheap hotels in Las Vegas. Remember that hotel rates are dynamic. That means the rates keep changing with the availability factor. Demand drives up the price. During weekends and holidays people come to Las Vegas from all over. So there will be a lot of rush and hotel prices will be high. But on weekdays, especially on weekdays, there will be fewer people visiting the city and, as a result, accommodation rates will be lower. The main area of Las Vegas, the heart of the city, is known as the Strip. Hotels on the Strip are naturally more expensive. But if you choose hotels in the center, which charge slightly lower rates, you may have to spend more money to hire taxis and cabs. Restaurants in the city are generally expensive. But one can find some cheap restaurants on the Strip and many of those restaurants off the Strip. But if you think the time spent getting to the restaurant downtown and the travel expenses are worth the discount, then you might as well go for it.
