Cheap Vegas Travel On A Budget

It may be hard to believe but few vacations can be cheaper than a well-planned Vegas travel excursion. If you've ever been to a casino, then you understand that they are willing to thank the patrons with free drinks, free food and bonus plays to keep you there, keep you happy and keep you spending money.

Such is the case in Las Vegas Nevada, the gambling capital of the United States, although the frugal gamble-resistant traveler can also capitalize on these tremendous deals!

To find cheap Las Vegas travel airfare, your best bet is to check out the discount sites online, some of which are, www.hotwire.com, www.expedia.com, www.cheaptickets.com, www.priceline.com, www.kayak.com, www.travelocity.com, www.smartertravel.com, www.cheapoair.com and www.orbitz.com.

The cheapest Las Vegas Nevada fares leave on Sunday and return on Wednesday or Thursday. By being flexible and checking your departure/arrival dates a few days forward and a few days afterward may save you as much as $400. If you want to leave during a popular time of year, then booking early will save you lots!

Try to avoid early morning and early evening flights if you can. Flying overnight can save you a ton if you can handle it. Unlike most vacation destinations, Las Vegas doesn't have an "off season," since the weather is so agreeable all year round.

However, be careful to avoid the occasional, major Las Vegas convention, sporting event, college Spring break or poker tournament! You may also save big by booking an all-inclusive package at www.vegasall.com.

For most travelers, a big part of Vegas travel is gambling. We all like to think of ourselves as hotshots who can double up at a Texas Hold' em game or drop $100 on a round of blackjack no problem, but often our pride outweighs our wallets.

Therefore, finding some low-limit cheap games is a good way to keep the Vegas fun lasting longer, especially as we get a feel for the various casinos and tables on the Las Vegas Strip. Downtown,

The Western has $2-3 blackjack and 25-cent roulette. El Cortez has $5 Pai Gow, mini baccarat and single-deck blackjack that plays 3:2 odds, as well as $3-5 craps and 25-cent roulette.

Off-the-strip, Boulder Station has $3 tables and 50-cent roulette. Arizona Charlie's Boulder Highway has $3 craps playing at 10x odds, $5 blackjack, $5 Let It Ride and 50-cent roulette.

On the Las Vegas strip, your best bet is Circus Circus with $5 tables and the occasional $3 (but beware of the 6:5 blackjack odds and even worse craps table odds). For poker, you can play as low as $1-$5 at The Mirage, Caesars Palace and MGM Grand.
