My tip: If you want to enjoy Vegas on a budget, remember to travel with people who are like-minded and aren't picky about restaurants. Food courts and quick service restaurants can save you a lot compared to nice sit-down places. Also, stop at a CVS and load up on drinks and snacks for the hotel room and pool. Have granola or protein bars on hand so you can skip an overpriced breakfast. This could save you hundreds.

It started with resort fees. Then they took away our parking. They started to charge for venue fees. Dear Vegas, you're not that special, lol.

Cheap Vegas died about 20yrs ago. I was lucky enough to start visiting Vegas at the tail end. You could still get steak dinner specials for under $10, and decent rooms on the strip cost about $39/night during weekdays, and there was no crazy resort fees. I still remember in 2006 I got a 4 night package with airfare from Bellingham for $150USD!

$38 USD for 2 donuts, cappucino, parfait? Yes, that is insanely expensive!

I was just in Vegas 7 nights and here’s how we did it cheap…. Booked an AirBnB with full kitchen off strip, about 30mins from door to strip. $75ish per night all-in. Went to Walmart and bought food for breakfasts, snacks and to make sandwiches so we didn’t have to eat out all thr time. Got $20 3-day transit passes that includes the Deuce bus and used that to spend 3 days around the strip, usually ending up at Fremont Street for free concerts (except to see Aerosmith which was a priority). Rented a car 2 days for Red Rock Canyon/Hoover Dam/Cactus Gardens and to go for great meals in non-strip priced restos. Add a Grand Canyon bus tour day and it was a great vacation without feeling gouged.

I was in Vegas in August and I found out that everything is a lot cheaper outside the Strip. Once you enter the Strip, expect to pay a ridiculous price for food, like over $100 for a couple of pizzas. Also, beware of people who will try to scam you. I got approached by a couple of girls walking down the Strip who wanted me to take pictures with them, then they tried to get me to put my credit card number into one of their phones as payment. I didn't, and they cried me a whole river as they followed me back to Treasure Island. Sorry, not sorry.

We went to Las Vegas a little over a week ago. Las Vegas is cheap, if by cheap you mean they give you very little for your time and money. It looked shabby to me and we found the food to be way overpriced. I didn’t find the slot machines to pay very well. We had a good time, because we found inexpensive places to eat and spent more time sightseeing than gambling. We did not even have a coffee maker in our room. We figured it was because Starbucks was in the lobby.

Back in October, me, my wife, and our dog went on an 11 night trip ( sadly with an unexpected hospital stay for my wife) and we drove over 3200 miles. 9 nights of my 11 were free, went through 8 different states, heavily gambled (lost), ate, went to attractions, etc., and still did not spend the amount of money you did in Vegas. My last trip there was nearly 10 years ago and it has gotten RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE since then.

I just went with my family of 4 for a week and spent maybe $2000. Stayed at the grand desert in a 2 room suite with a full kitchen, no resort fees and free parking. Went to Walmart and bought food to make our own breakfast for the week. When we went to the strip we parked at casinos that offered free parking. Sure as hell didn’t eat at these overpriced restaurants just to be seen there. Went to a couple of shows and had a great time

We went to Vegas earlier this year and the prices (esp for food) were shocking. The food prices at Eataly at MGM were out of this world for what you got. Never have I ever paid so much for spaghetti with tomato sauce. Im ashamed to even mention the price. Thank goodness for Subway and the mall food courts!

I remember when gambling was the most expensive part of my trip to Vegas.

I was in Vegas for 5 nights at the end of October. I couldn't believe how expensive all the food was. It's absolutely ridiculous

Visited the strip for the 1st time in March, I was told before I went how cheap everything would be. To my surprise everything was very expensive & I am used to getting ripped off by living in London. Luckily I had some very good luck with winning about $2500 but still spent every penny in only 3 days. All my friends back in the UK were amazed at the sharp rise of everything on the strip.

Great video Chris! I feel like Vegas is trying to rebound from the pandemic ontop of inflation etc but I've still been able to go atleast 3 times this year so my quota was met lol! The fact that you also saved on resort fees and parking really helped!

Thanks for this Chris, sadly Vegas has become quite an expensive place to visit unless you want to go out of your way to save money. Even beyond the much more inflated prices of just about everything there are a lot more stealth charges being introduced and even more people expecting increasing tips. For us Europeans this is amplified by the increasing strenght of the dollar making it even more expensive. I still love Vegas but I do dislike the way visitors are being nickel and dimed to coin an American phrase.

I would love to stay at the really nice hotels on the strip but the downside is not having a microwave and fridge in the rooms. I stay at the Signature that is a little off the strip with a great view of the strip on a balcony, microwave, fridge, little kitchenette area,hot tub in the rooms and it’s way cheaper than the really expensive hotels. The really expensive hotels really need more amenities for the customers instead of charging to use a fridge 🙄

Another excellent vid ! Food Prices in Vegas have more than doubled. Room rates are way up. Can’t say I blame casino operators - visitors are lining up to pay these prices !

It depends where you stay, eat, and play. I do all I can to search for promotions and cheap deals. If you can try and go to Vegas Sunday through checking out Friday, those are the cheapest times to go. Trust me, it’s never dead in Vegas, but it’s less traffic than on weekends. I think for 1 or 2 people, staying at the Motel 6 on Dean Martin Drive or Tropicana is a great deal, because you’re hardly going to spend time in your room but to sleep and shower so why spend tons on lodging. That and Motel 6 doesn’t charge Resort Fees!

Last time I was there was already crazy over priced, that was February 2020. After that trip I decided it was my last. I like to sit at the bar and have a bottle of beer and people watch when not gambling. When they charged $8 for a bottle of domestic, I said enough of the gouging. Yes, I could gamble at the bar and drink free, but to do that it was a minimum $20 stake and minimum $1 bets. At that rate it would have cost me $50 for a beer. Then add to that the food. I had a burger, fries and 2 draft beers at Tom's Urban at the New York. Total bill was $54. I used to love going to Vegas, but they have taken the fun right out of it.

Cheap Las Vegas no more, indeed! What a shame. 😞 Thanks for an excellent and realistic presentation, though, Chris.

First of all thanks for the video. Sending my thoughts and prayers to the Spunky Princess to her quick recovery from the ice cream coma 🤭😂🤣

LOL, oh how things have changed. 1973 I turn 21 and had my birthday in Vegas. Gas 34 cents a gallon. I stayed at the Western Ho. motel next to the Stardust 13.00 a night. Slots of fun 2 min. walk away sold 15 cent hot dogs for lunch and the evening was watching a show and dinner at the Landmark hotel total $4.95. Late night lounge show (3 acts) at the Stardust 2 drink cover around $5.00. My one big expense, I saw Rich Little, a really big star in those days perform at the Rivera Hotel and casino, $15.00. Two nights, and days in Las Vegas just under $100.

6:15 I love the shot of her running! great video Chris!

I’m born and raised in Las Vegas and I hate how much the city changed and not for the better. I don’t live out there anymore yet 90% of my family lives out there so I visit often and my oh my how much things can change here in the matter of months. Again, the changes are not for the better. Vegas does not cater to all walks of income life’s anymore the place is corporate ran now and only care about the high rollers now. Even though majority of the high rollers don’t really spend money anywhere else outside of the casino floor. I miss my childhood Vegas (90s).

Vegas definitely isn't cheap anymore! 😂 Still one of my favorite vacation spots though, just gotta save up a bit more before going.

I just went to Vegas this Summer omg man its so damn expensive. Nothing is cheap anymore in Vegas. Also heads up with those nasty resort fees. Also anything in the actual strip you have to pay parking (unless you stay their and some ways to overcome it) its just insane it. Cheap Vegas is long gone I didnt even enjoy my stay their.

Grew up and lived in Las Vegas from 1988-2004. Been awhile since I back there. Vegas used to be very affordable back in the day. You could get a buffett for next to nothing and you could get comps for a free buffett if you gambled in the casino. Not only that, you would get free drinks on the casino floor at your machine. There were no resort fees or parking fees. I'm not surprised it has changed now. But things has changed alot in Vegas when i was there. I long for the good ol days when you could get a real good deal when visiting Las Vegas.

Probably the most informative and interesting review I've seen on Vegas. Great job my man. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪

Agreed! I was just there for several days, it's EXPENSIVE!! Even though my hotel comped me parking, I still had to pay resort fees, resort fee taxes, Clark county fees and taxes, I even went bar hopping outside in the downtown area, and outside in the actual communities, still EXPENSIVE. Also, gas is the same as LA, CA, in fact, gas at the moment is even cheaper here in LA than Vegas, imagine that! Overall, it was fun, but not worth it! $60+ for a souvenir drink at the Daiquiri place at Paris! Come on. On top of all that, it stinks like weed and piss all over the place. I wanted to leave LA, but the crime, drugs, and homelessness is just as bad in Vegas. Your prices are weekday prices, it triples in the weekends.

Wow! I am not planning on going to Vegas, but....if you are, your videos are really awesome and helpful as you cover so much: high cost living, low cost living, and specific attractions and their prices. I would think that your series of Las Vegas informative videos should be a must for anyone planning a trip to the Desert Gambling Oasis in Nevada!!

I read somewhere that 98.2% of visitors to LV go home as losers. Ever since then, I don’t gamble. Back then I spent money on buffets , hanging by the pool and had great times. But now with $40 resort fees, parking fees and inflated restaurant prices, it’s not fun anymore

That’s not too bad for a family of 5. Then again I’d probably do that solo by just gambling in Vegas!!! 😂 Great video sir!

Just got back from Vegas yesterday. We knew it was going to be a fairly expensive trip so we mentally prepared for it but we're still a little shocked when our first meal at Johnny Rockets was over 50 bucks before tip for two for a pretty basic burger and fry meals with drink or shake. Vegas and the surrounding areas still make for a super fun vacation but if you're the kind of person who stresses out about every dollar you spend it is going to be a miserable time.

The spunky Princess is growing up so fast. Such a beautiful little girl. I went to Vegas in October to attend a concert. I had a great time but felt like it was a costly trip. I just told myself I worked hard this year so I’m not going to have no regrets. However I’m going to try a different destination on my. next vacation . Thanks for the videos and your Cheerfulness

You are awesome. I always appreciate your information and the way you deliver it. You use the perfect tone, to my way of thinking.

Chris, let me make a suggestion for you, make a trip to Genting Highland in Malaysia, where you can gamble, eat, sleep in a world's biggest hotel , there's a theme park for a family and the price is more cheaper than Vegas, try it

That was a pretty high end trip and I hope you all had a wonderful time. Corporations have taken over LV, good or bad it’s like a Disney experience where things are nice but not cheap.

Yes, cheap Vegas was about 20+ years ago. I remember in 2001 flying from LAX for $50 round trip, staying at MGM Grand for a few hundred bucks, taking in a Cirque show for $50 and easily finding buffet deals. That was too much fun. For the current price tag, I'd rather go somewhere nicer with more to do like San Diego or Hawaii.

I live in Vegas now and we don't eat at the strip anymore. Drive a couple miles away and there are a lot of regular restaurants.

Went ages ago, now it’s just about scamming as much as possible: resort fees, 6:5 blackjack, parking charges, dubious add-ons to restaurant checks, triple zero roulette, and so on… it’s now where near as good as in times gone by. A lot more violence as well

Hi Chris; loved this video on the family Thanksgiving vacay! My amazing young adult son and I were there in late September for our annual celebration of his birthday. Yes, Vegas is now expensive! I am so very fortunate to have booked everything several months in advance, and enjoy my discounts as a Gold MGM Resorts member. I love the free parking and no resort fees! Happy Holidays! CAB 🎄 P.S: can the traveling spunky princess get any more adorable! 😍

G’day Chris. I remember our first visit to Vegas in 2012. Back then you could park for free in most of the Casinos. Things change quickly hey 😢

Back in the 80s it was cheap if you chose the right hotels. My Dad took me to the Sahara and the room was $30 a night. I thought it was awesome, one of my best memories with Dad..

If you want cheap rooms you have to be willing to change hotels. Most hotels will have 2 cheap days in a row midweek then they go up the 3rd day. If you stay mon, tue in one hotel, wed, thur in another and the weekend in a lower end hotel you can still pay an average of less than $100/night. Weekends is where they get you. If you have loyalty and have resort fees waived you can even keep a week under $400-500

I lived in SoCal for 22+ yrs. and never cared for Vegas, now that I find myself in the middle of the Caribbean; I’m dying to go! Great review.

Very informational video. Short and to the point!

I went in early November and got a pretty good deal on my airfare and had got an offer from MGM rewards for some comp nights which I took them up on. I am not sure there are many places you can go on vacation anymore and spend less than $100 a night for a hotel. As far as food goes, I watched a lot of Vegas KZfaqrs for places to visit so I was aware of the prices. You might be able to find comparable food outside of Vegas for less, but Vegas is a foodie paradise. I still call it a win if you can go for a 3-4 nights with a total bill of under $1500 for airfare, hotel, food. entertainment.

I attend the Electric Daisy Carnival every single year for 2 people and literally spend this amount for 5 nights stay with similar meals, 1000% worth it! Can't wait to do it again! Lol Great video

Vegas can still be done on the cheap. If you gamble, you can get comp or discounted rooms. You can eat at off strip or chain restaurants. It all depends on the type of experience you want.

Vegas is still plenty cheap if you're flexible when you go. Go during the week rather than weekends and take odd hour flights. I can usually keep round trip flight and hotel to under $250 total.

Thank you all for continuing to donate your money to our city. Our economy is thriving since the city shut down in 2020. 🙏🏽

Cheap Vegas getaway weekend is a thing of the past.

We loved the Mob Museum in the arts district. Probably the best part of our trip.

Here’s some helpful tips to save some money while in Vegas: 1. Do Not Buy Drinks at Hotels if you dont have to - Its much better to buy drinks at Walmart or Target off the strip which if u have a car is not that far. 2. Dont need to always eat on the strip as apart from the buffets, the restaurants are expensive and some are wayyy over-rated and over-priced. Instead, when I went to Vegas, they had more affordable options off the hotels like at food courts in the mall and also In-n-Out Burger off the strip is not bad at all. Another thing, is also that hotels do charge for parking unless your hotel package says parking included in the package versus parking available. So be careful about those things, have to read the details. Just all in all it depends on what u want in Vegas

Two notes on the Peking duck at Mott 32: 1. it’s amazing 2. you have to order it in advance. I booked my table online about two weeks ahead, then I waited until they opened at 5:00PM Pacific and called them. “I have a reservation for this date, I would like the duck.”

Our Vegas trips were overlapped. We were there Tuesday through Friday at Mirage, one last time before Hard Rock takes over. Too bad I didn't see you there, I would have definitely said Hi. Vegas is definitely not cheap anymore, our room was comped for two of the three nights and the third night was only like $45. We avoided buffets or any other expensive eating options. So our total was definitely less, but still expensive for what it was for 2 people. We did the Marvel Avengers Station, which was fun.

Just returned from 5 days in Vegas the week of Thanksgiving. Expensive? Well, certainly not the same as before Covid. I asked a staff member what I was getting for the 50% increase in Resort Fee and he told me I was getting 50% more ripped off. I knew it would be more expensive and I accepted that. What I really struggled with is the incredibly poor customer service. Every front line staff member we encountered, except one, were absolutely fantastic, in spite of every place being short staffed. I know these people work really hard, but it is not easy to justify a large tip when the service was pathetically slow due to lack of adequate staff and the prices were, at times, significantly higher than in the past. And, thank you very much, I brought home Covid.

I remember 15 yrs ago going to Vegas, spending $20 on gas, sharing a $50/night for a room in Stratasphere, spending about $30 on food total for 3 days. Playing penny slots and getting free watered down drinks. In total ai probably spend less than $300.

Thanks for introducing the area 15, I’m going in December will definitely check that out!

The food at Mott 32 looks amazing…and I had no idea you could walk around Area15 for free. Thanks for the tip!

We visited vegas from the UK on a package deal through virgin in August. We stayed at the venetian and we had a good time overall. To be honest I expected it to be expensive but I was genuinely shocked at some prices of things. Silly things like 2 coffees in the morning from the kiosk on the side of the casino floor was $14. I know you'd find it cheaper elsewhere but 1st thing in the morning I didn't fancy hiking miles just to find a cheaper place. Another time we ordered 3 G n Ts and a budweiser from the bar and it was $79 plus tip. I was so stunned I just paid it. If I was ever to go back I'd definitely do a little research and avoid the rip offs where possible but I doubt I would return. The constant smell of weed everywhere gets a bit much if its not your thing. The homeless issue is out of control imo. We saw a fight on the strip between 2 homeless men that turned into about 6 on 1, blood everywhere and not a police officer in sight . We saw a homeless guy smoking crack/meth in the middle of the day outside casino royal. At times it reminded me of the TV show the walking dead. It was a bit of a shame really. I 100% wouldn't recommend visiting.

Cheap Vegas left about 45 years ago when back then you could drink and smoke all you wanted for free as long as you were gambling and The Horseshoe had an 8oz steak dinner for 2 bucks, The El Cortez served a 20oz porterhouse with all the trimmings for 5.95. Now I just pass through.

Yeah FYI to anyone going I spent 2k total for my 5 day/6 night Vegas trip at the start of this month: food, transit (be it Uber, car rental, flight), all activities (everything) all rolled into one sum total I am a single person in my 20s so these are all my expenses having stayed at like Ballys and Paris: not as a family at the Excalibur or harrahs

Hi Chris. Las Vegas is definitely not as cheap as it was before the pandemic. Considering you all stayed at the Bellagio for 3 nights, i thought the price was pretty good. Looking forward to the update videos on Las Vegas. Thanks for sharing and take care.

Thanks for having a normal budget video! Usually people do everything at the highest cost, or at the cheapest... so this was awesome to see going to normal places with average prices.

🥳Really enjoyed watching this video...thanks!👍🏻

If you're stuck on the strip, everything is expensive. When I'm in Vegas, I usually eat at non-touristy places. I eat like a local would.

I think you just scared a lot of people off who were considering going to Las Vegas (the prices). I lost track of all your food expenses, but it looked to be about half of your $2,500. An easy way to chop that expense is to pick up a bunch of food at the supermarket and keep it in your room. Save dining out for maybe once a day. I remember in the early 90's I could book airfare from Burbank and a hotel like the Excalibur, for three nights, for less than $200. Things change.

Another great video! Yellow Productions is my favorite travel KZfaq channel! Keep up the good work. This July I visited vegas for the first. I came from Europe. What bothered me was the fact that you are a 'nobody' if you do not spend a lot of money. The service felt forced, they were only after my money, and did not act cheerful because they enjoyed their job.

$165 a day, for each person is not a bad price! I enjoyed the video.

I was at the Bellagio Monday through Thursday Thanksgiving. $80 per night through Priceline. Great visit and enjoyed the Mayfair Supper Club.

I've been to Vegas on Thanksgiving and it was a nightmare - too much traffic, too many people, parking is impossible - stood in line for 2.5 hours to have Thanksgiving dinner at Mandalay Bay, I remember one lady fainted - but to their credit the people who worked there were very accommodating and friendly even though they were working on Thanksgiving and having to deal with hundreds of people - I tipped them big because they deserved it

We have been staying off strip lately. We don't gamble, but go for the FOOD. LV has great food these days. A lot of great restaurants are off strip so it works out great. Go to the strip to walk around, but appreciate the quiet off strip. :) I'm also exploring LV neighborhoods, loving Henderson, you never know, may want to leave CA and retire in NV one day??

For comparison purposes, the buffet at the Hard Rock in Atlantic City is $35, or maybe $35.99, I forget. I also pay a lot less for the room. The other food items are about the same.

This was a great video, Chris! And so helpful! ❤👍🏻 Thank you

We are finally taking our 12 yo for his spring break. We are from S. cal so we are driving as well. I tend to use my credit card rewards to stay in Vegas and our goal this trip is too see as much as possible with walking so we want to stay centrally. Since we have a car we tend to eat our meals off strip for really reasonable prices and good food. The car is a kiss and a curse, everyone is charging for parking but with a car you’re not stuck with overpriced fare. Hope to see some of your followers in Vegas.

Before the hotels charged resort fees, I often visited casinos in Las Vegas over weekends. The last time I went to Vegas was then.

Thanks for the Vegas updates. The Mott is very tasty but $$$. The traveling Princess is growing up so quickly!

We were there in November from the UK. First time since 2018. I would say its at least 30% more expensive It will price out alot of families sadly

Spent 5 days in Vegas at the end of September. Ridiculously expensive and we didn't even gamble. Been there....done that....got the T-shirt. And oh yeah.....Covid.

Thanks for posting this Chris, I will be heading to Vegas on Sunday & this video will be helpful in terms of figuring out a budget, especially when it comes to eating at the restaurants. To avoid the resort fees at the big hotels, I am actually staying at a Best Western off strip near Harry Reid International Airport, using my free night award from Best Western Rewards that I had acquired during the summer for one of the nights. From the pictures online, the rooms at Best Western certainly are much cleaner than the ones at Excalibur where I stayed last time for half the price.

Great stuff! The Spunky Princess is worth the price of admission alone! What a doll!

We’ve just got back from NYC (we’re from UK). Even without poor GBP:USD rate….man, the prices were eye-wateringly expensive! We’ll tour Europe ‘til inflationary madness calms down.

i went in september and stayed in Venetian, so far that has been my best hotel that i have stayed in Vegas, it's a little pricey but definitely worth it. I loved the fact that i have access to both venetian and pallazo's amenities since theyr'e sister company. I can't wait to go back for my wifes' bday in April 2023.

Covid shut everything down and only a dozen buffets reopened afterwards. This was the first sign that the casinos were not going to offer loss leaders to attract gamblers. Southpoint is the only buffet that is playing to that tune. I am somewhat confused you didn’t take your family to Chinatown since you have a car. $197 would go very far and you would probably get better food and service. Resorts World food court is very expensive and you could do better elsewhere. Give Chinatown a try next time and your wallet will thank you

1985 Vegas, 2 egg breakfast 69 Cents, Prime Rib Dinner $3.99, floor show with 2 drinks $24, $1 Corona Beer, $1 shrimp cocktail, Brunch at Circus Circus $3.99.

The SP is growing by leaps and bounds 🤗🤗🤗

One thing that I started to do in the early 2000,s to save big $$$ was to take my own booze to LV. Wife and I live in So Cal. When we drove I always took a cooler with us that contained premiums liquor and beer, and lots of garnishes to make mixed drinks. I did this because I do not gamble so I did not get free drinks. The wife did gamble and ordered free drinks but the drinks are made with cheap watered down liquor and would take a long time to get to us. This practice saved us tons of money when we would go to LV. In the early 2010,s we hardly went to LV. The last time we went to LV was in the summer of 2016 to celebrate our anniversary and stayed at the Wynn, and we flew there. So I did not take my cooler. One night that weekend my wife did not feel good so we walked to a local store away from the casino to buy over the counter medications and other none food or drinks items. As we walked back into the casino, we were stopped by security who were posted at the entrance. The guards demanded to look into our bags and we sure "sure" because we had nothing to hide. After our bags were searched, I asked the guards why they had searched our bags. We were advised that they were checking for outside food and drinks because they were not allowed in the casino. We have not been back to LV since. I think that it has become over priced and not worth it anymore.

Vegas is disgustingly expensive for accommodations, food, gaming and entertainment.I am currently here for 32 days but staying in an AirBnB. We rent a car, cook almost all our own meals, avoid the overpriced shows. Wose than the expense is the homeless people loitering,sleeping in front of and often inside the billion dollar resorts. The street performers, photo girls are intrusive as they cluster in front of casino entrances in old, tattered and ugly costumes and the action heroes are even filthier as they hustle $ 20 tips.The smell of weed is unavoidable from early am to night and is everywhere. Gaming greed is worse than ever with 3 green spot / 0, blackjack paying less than 1.5 to 1, machines full of sad and depressed faces. DISGUSTINGLY , I report that escalators and elevators are out of service every day in rotation ( power conservation not requiring repair ! ) I saw 6 people carrying a wheelchair person backwards down the stairs at The Bally's / Cromwell intersection as the crowd backed up across the Flamingo street bridge. SHAME ON VEGAS CASINO AND CITY MANAGEMENT ! This is my 65th visit and very likely my last !

Gambling is usually the biggest expense so glad to see your expenses were mostly all family related!

Holy crap, two donuts and coffees in Moscow would be $6 at most, 6 times cheaper!

You saved a lot by not having to pay resort fees. I don't mind spending a premium if I'm eating or drinking things I can't get at home. I definitely bring my own coffee, French press and hot water boiler with me to save on coffee. I can't justify spending $6 on a single cup of coffee, ever.

I haven’t been to Las Vegas in 15 years. I remember even back in the pre early late nineties Las Vegas was already expensive even then. Next time book a room outside the Las Vegas strip in one of the cheap motels. Then buy a bus ticket online for each member of Your family to get You to the strip and walk to each Hotel and see the attractions and find those magazines on the streets that tells You where the cheapest buffet are and what Hotels are offering cheapest rooms per night during the month. The best times to visit Las Vegas is after the Holidays seasons and just before summer begins and during September-October. If You plan it right, You might only spend maybe 800 hundred or 900 hundred dollars at the most. Besides the Gambling of course. If Las Vegas still has quarter slot machines in some of the hotels, play those instead because You’ll have better odds on winning more money back. Also the slot machines where they have 30 lines to bet on, play only a dollar on them. The reason most of those slot machines are programmed to pay out more in a dollar or less. Don’t waste Your time on those claws machine’s unless You plan to put in three Hundred dollars to get only one hundred dollars back. Don’t waste Your time going to a fancy restaurant there, the reason, it’s a tourist trap and they expect You to waste money there. Find the locals and ask them where the cheapest restaurants and Buffets are at. It changes all the time in Las Vegas and the prices will continue to rise until only celebrities and rice people like Donald Trump can vacation in Las Vegas. I suggest going to a smaller casino outside and far away from Las Vegas. Because if You go to Las Vegas without setting guidelines to save money. Then You better bring at least three thousand dollars in cash with You and your family members and have a couple good credit cards. But if You take my tips. You won’t have to spend over a thousand dollars or more on Your next trip there.

That flight is about 250 each round trip. Not including baggage.JWA December

Really insightful video Chris.

I remember when there were lots of free or cheap things to do in Vegas. I was broken hearted when I found out they stopped doing the Pirates of TI stunt show. It was awesome. Since I didn't gamble it used to be very cheap because you could also see a lot of shows relatively cheaply. I also remember my mom and I getting a coupon to see a really good comedian and get free strawberry shortcake and champaign. Saw many world class magicians and the FX show with animatronic dragon with David Cassidy for much less than what that would have cost on Broadway.

The deal of a lifetime For a family of three I managed to stay at the Bellagio for 💰$0 for one night lol😎 I paid for parking,$15-$20 stayed in their most basic standard cheapest room.I gamble a little when in Vegas so the room was complementary I was given by the Bellagio $100 free play and $50 resort credit when it was time to check out I used the $50 resort credit to pay for the resort fee thus making my stay at the Bellagio 100%FREE!!! 😎😳💯 You gotta know how to stay, you gotta know how to play when in Las Vegas 💯💰 good luck guys 👍🏻get those deals 💰

We saved a lot of money a few years ago in Vegas. I got four tickets to a great show and a Brazilian bbq and two free nights at Caesar’s on our next visit. I was ambushed by a lady who asked me if I was willing to set thru a time share seminar. I agreed and it took three hours (they provided breakfast) but I save about $900 on entertainment and food . By the way, they didn’t come close to selling me any time share. 😊

Wow, definitely need to get a job if I'm going to Vegas. That looks like some great pastry but $20 a pop is crazy.
