TRAVEL- The following is my penny pinchers guide to Vegas. The finest method to cut your holiday costs is to travel inexpensive. The cheapest flights are mid-week, Tues … Wednesdays are best. If you’re "self employed (a pro on-line poker player who sets his own hours)" Go last minute. There are nearly continually last minute deals to fill up those vacant seats. So travel midweek and even far better travel off-season. This will cut you whole holiday expenses down greatly.

TRANSPORTATION- When in Vegas you are able to have close to for free by walking and using trams. Or you possibly can take the bus, which covers the total strip and downtown for $2 a fare. But I discovered renting a car works finest and is occasionally less expensive than taking buses or taxis. In case you go midweek you possibly can get a car for fifteen to twenty dollars a day, cheap!

LODGING- The cheapest hotel I can bring to mind is Westward Ho rear. They have a number of of the lowest rates. Otherwise I usually stay downtown. Midweek you are able to discover a room for close to 30-40 bucks.

FOOD- For any buffet attempt the Gold Coast, its pretty very good and only about $7. When in Sin City you have to attempt the $.99 Shrimp cocktail in the Golden Gate Casino. Want a larger serving? Attempt a half rack of ribs for less than $5 on the Riveria. The Riveria is also famous for their 3/4pound hot dog. It can be Massive and only fee a a buck and a half. If you stay at Westward Ho it is possible to have a cup of coffee for just a nickel. You’ll be able to have a 1/2pound burger and fries at Key Largo for two dollars. And back in the Westward Ho to get a drink. You’ll be able to get a 27oz Margarita for $.99.

BETTING- You can wager on black jack for a buck a hand at Slot machine games a Enjoyable. The Gold Spike has all sorts of penny and nickel slot machine games for your entertainment. And I always bet on a game of Texas hold’em on the Excalibur. They have a 1-3 game that’s the lowest in town!

So have fun on your next Las Vegas family vacation and keep in mind it doesn’t need to expense you an arm and a leg.
