Tips to save money in Las Vegas?

Quote from jackbauer24 : can the op stay at the wynn for $90 a night?

Hell no

Quote from dannyp32 : Would it be $90 flat or are there extra charges?

You cannot stay at the Wynn for $90/night

Vdara or aria if you can strech your budget a bit. If you cant? MGM, Mirage, TI, Golden nuggest all provide good values.

If you are interested in a show there are combo deals for show tickets and rooms.

Hotwire is an okay source for info and rooms in the middle end. Probably has the best deals on TI and Golden Nugget.

I am going to be in vegas the 19-22, Vdara. Highly recommended if you don't smoke.

Stay at Flamingo or Paris to avoid the ungodly $25 a day resort fee....unless you need to fax a lot.

The resort fee doesn't bother me. It just makes my rooms $100 a night. I don't really care how they account for taking money from me.

That said... Paris @ $70-75 or Vdara @ 100-105? That isn't even close--- VDARA. If I am going to pinch pennies I am going to be staying at Stratosphere or Excalibur for $14...

Also, smoke-free is worth several dollars a night to me.

Thank you for educating me on something I already knew. You should def stay at Vdara then.

I made a mistake in thinking I was replying to the poster anyways. If I stayed at VDARA I am sure I would have been smarter and caught my mistake.

Stop whining that you got called on making a non-point. I pointed out something YOU apparently knew but declined to share with everybody else (including the OP).... classy bitching and moaning on your part.

Resort fees shouldn't be a matter of principal, it is all fungible dollars as long as you know what it is going to cost.

i would look at ballys the north tower rooms are big great location and at 45 bucks a night i dont think it can be beat bills across the street is another option te best help you are going to get will be on the tripadvisor las vegas boards

have fun enjoy las vegas!

try south point casino

lol you want to take this outside? Yea it was a "my bad" I didnt realize I was responding to you....was just trying to save the poster $$$. But yea if the monetary difference was only $25 to stay at the VDARA....I would stay there too. Miscommunication on my part I guess.

i'd stick with harrah's properties b/c they don't charge a bogus resort fee. the planet hollywood is a nice hotel for roughly $50 a night, great location across from the bellagio fountains and nice on property amenities like the mall. sign at www.smartervegas.com to get a extensive list of hotel promo codes.

as for food, i like the $10 steak at hooters, awesome sandwiches at earl of sandwich inside of planet hollywood, 99cent dogs at the back of casino royale

you can pass on the shows if you're in town for only a couple of days. you won't be able to make it through the maze of casinos. the best free show in vegas are the bellagio fountains, next would be the volcano at the mirage. best shopping either in the planet hollywood miracle mile shops or fashion show mall in the trump. my must visit, is the sports book at the mgm, it's the nicest one i can find in vegas or try navigating through the gawdy venetian.

what's wrong with the paris? it's much closer to the strip than the vdara, and there's a casiono and shops inside that feed you free drinks just for sitting at a slot machine. the vdara is mainly a timeshare and i hear they don't clean up very well after you.

are all the rooms in the vdara timeshare rooms? meaning a 1 bedroom kitechenettes?
