Las Vegas on a Budget

Sunday May 11, 2008
Is Las Vegas in your spring or summer travel plans? For many, a business conference or expo is in the offing. For others, the glitz of the casinos is the attraction. People come here willing to wager and lose their hard-earned money. Please don't lose even more money overpaying for food and accommodations. If you're going, take a look at ways to keep costs under control.

Mark you have made some excellent points there on saving money in Vegas and what I found to be the biggest saving in regard to hotels was staying weekdays not weekends. I have been in hotels on and off the strip I now go for a location mid strip so you can walk more and save on buses and taxis.

In regards to what to do while there I always check out the free shows first and also now always remember to stay hydrated as Vegas air is so dry.

Looking forward to more on Vegas from you.
