Have you been put off from visiting Vegas in the past because of the high cost factor? Well, there’s no need to be scared by potential costs, as there are many ways to enjoy Sin City on even the tightest of budgets.

Don’t believe us? Check out these top 5 tips for enjoying Las Vegas on a tight budget, and you just might end up changing your mind.

1. Stay Off the Strip

Many off the Strip hotels offer incredible luxury for just a fraction of the price typically offered on the Strip itself. Staying off the Strip is especially cost effective if you’re driving to or renting a car while in Vegas, as you won’t have to waste money on pesky cab fares. From cheap and cheerful hotels to premiere luxury resorts, you’ll find what you’re looking for at a reasonable rate off the Strip.

2. Make the Most of Comps

There are many comps available in casinos. For example, valet is almost always free, but so are alcoholic beverages! Plus, if you’re in or with a group of ladies in town,the chances are you’ll be able to score free entrance and complimentary drinks to a number of top-rated night clubs. Don’t forget these little perks, as they really can add up to massive savings in the long run.

3. Stay During the Week

Regardless of the time of year, as long as you book a hotel room in Vegas during the week, you will usually be able to score a very reasonable rate. Even some of the fanciest and most highly rated Vegas hotels offer slashed prices during the week simply because this is such a down time for their business. Avoid overpriced hotel rates by always staying in Las Vegas during the week.

4. Look for Free Attractions

There are some attractions in Vegas that are completely free to enjoy. For example, you can admire the MGM lions for absolutely nothing or explore the numerous high profile art installations at the glamorous CityCenter. Take a browse online before you visit to find free Vegas attractions as these will allow you to explore what this city has to offer without you having to spend a penny!

5. Buy Discounted Show Tickets

If you’re prepared to sit through a several hour presentation on timeshares you may be able to score free Vegas show tickets but alternatively you can also score heavily discounted show tickets by buying your tickets on the very same night the show is showing at the many discounted ticket booths located across the city. And in addition to this, you may also be able to get dramatically reduced tickets from the hotels in which the shows are showing an hour or two before the show begins.

Use these tips to help you enjoy a Vegas vacation of a lifetime without having to break the bank. Save big and live big next time you’re in town!
