My Authentic Cheapskate Guide to Vegas

[ English ]

TRAVEL- The following is my penny pinchers guide to Vegas. The most effective way to cut your holiday costs is to travel cheap. The cheapest flights are mid-week, Tues … Wednesdays are most effective. If you are "self employed (a pro on line poker gambler who sets his own hours)" Go last minute. You can find almost always last minute deals to load those empty seats. So travel midweek and even better travel off-season. This will cut you entire vacation expenses down greatly.

TRANSPORTATION- When in Vegas you are able to get close to for free of cost by walking and using trams. Or you’ll be able to take the bus, which covers the complete strip and downtown for $2 a fare. Except I discovered renting a automobile works greatest and is at times less expensive than taking buses or taxis. If you go midweek it is possible to get a vehicle for 15-20 dollars a day, affordable!

LODGING- The cheapest hotel I can think of is Westward Ho rear. They’ve a few of the lowest rates. Otherwise I usually stay downtown. Midweek it is possible to find a room for close to thirty to forty bucks.

FOOD- For any buffet try the Gold Coast, its pretty good and only about $7. When in Las Vegas you’ve to try the ninety nine cent Shrimp cocktail on the Golden Gate Casino. Want a larger serving? Test a half rack of ribs for less than five dollars on the Riveria. The Riveria is also famous for their 3/4lb hot dog. It is Huge and only charge a a buck and a half. If you ever stay at Westward Ho you possibly can get a cup of coffee for a nickel. You’ll be able to obtain a 1/2pound burger and fries at Key Largo for $1.99. And back in the Westward Ho for the drink. You are able to get a 27oz Margarita for ninety nine cent.

BETTING- You’ll be able to wager on pontoon for just a buck a hand at Slot machines a Fun. The Gold Spike has all sorts of penny and nickel slot machines for your entertainment. And I always play a game of Texas hold em in the Excalibur. They’ve a one to three casino game that’s the lowest in town!

So have fun on your next Vegas holiday and remember it does not have to price you an arm and a leg.
