Visiting the gambling Mecca in Nevada need not to be ridiculously financially crippling for anyone. At least for the smart ones who choose to stay away from the practices in Las Vegas which could cost them a hundred dollars per drink. I’ve heard a lot of stuff from friends who have visited Las Vegas and they all have one thing to say in common. It costs an arm and a leg for one to get through a single night in Vegas so what more for those who practically live there.

Well for one, I’m pretty sure folks who practically live in Vegas know by now how to get through every single night of drinking, gambling and partying without having to empty your pocket and bank accounts clean. If you’d only learn to take it from the ones who know it more than the gamblers scattered all over Las Vegas, you’d survive for more than a week and still come back completely.

First thing you must keep in mind is to try to avoid super fancy hotels with all that blinking and blinding lights all over it. They charge so much as if you are paying for their monthly electricity bill on your 3-night stay all together. The rates they bill customers still does not include the tips that just about every bellboy, room service attendant and housekeeping personnel usually are expecting to get from you for doing a superb job bringing your bottle of water for you or for dangling your coat and hat by the rack. Isn’t that something?

Sometimes I think I could get rich just by getting a job hanging coats and hats on the rack in Vegas. You can find really cheap and affordable hotels at least a mile away from those blinking hotels and it they could cost as less as $60 per night. I don’t think the dancers even hang out there because they think it’s such a terrible place to be in. But not for tourists who want to save on cash and wouldn’t mind a small room to stay in for the night.

Next thing to remember is don’t take the taxi cab. Your room is not that far away from the strip of casinos and hotels so it would be better to walk going to the clubs. I am sure that once you get there, you will be sitting most of the time. And aside from that, taxi cabs in Las Vegas don’t charge by mileage but by time. The longer you stay inside the cab, the higher your bill is. So stay away from cabs if you’d like to save money.

Finally, probably one of the best tips I can give you based on my own experience is to grab as much food as you can from the buffet table in the place where you are staying. Normally, rooms and hotels, no matter how cheap they are, will have a breakfast, lunch or dinner buffet table that you can eat from. Keep your stomach full with apples, cookies, brownie bars, bread and other dry food that you can slip in your bag to keep you going for a few hours. I’ve seen a lot of people do this so you are not alone.

Just follow these tricks and you will definitely make it in Vegas.
