Most people think that Vegas is expensive - and it certainly can be if you indulge yourself (or play cards terribly!) - but it doesn't have to be that way. Abby Tegnelia, former travel blogger and former Editor-in-Chief of Vegas Magazine.

In recent years, Las Vegas has exploded with five-star restaurants, top-notch shows, and world-famous nightclubs.

But not everyone can afford to pay big bucks for a hangover-worthy weekend or a gastronomic feast that deserves to be on the pages of Gourmet.

The gambling mecca has also made it easy to access its new and diverse entertainment offerings for a fraction of the full price.

To help you plan your trip and keep your budget on track, here's everything you need to know to be a Vegas big player on a small budget!

How to eat five-star food on a one-star budget

The best time at Strip's five star restaurants is between 20:00 and 22:00, but this is a busy time for restaurants, so most of them have both a happy hour and a pre-show menu to start your evening on budget time. from 16:00 to 19:00. Details may vary by restaurant, so be sure to call first.

Come to the bar if you don't want to sit at a full table, but still want to try famous dishes at low prices. Or sit down early in the evening for dinner in front of the stage. You do not need to show your ticket to the show to keep your booking. Some restaurants also offer a set lunch menu.

Here are just a few Vegas gourmet restaurants that can cost hundreds of dollars under normal circumstances, but you can use this tip to enjoy a five-star meal for less than $100:

  • L'Atelier Joel Robuchon (MGM Grand)
  • Estiatorio Milos (The Venetian)
  • Jean-Georges Steakhouse (Aria)
  • Michael Mina
  • Eiffel Tower (Paris)
reverse happy hour

Many Vegas restaurants stop serving food by 22:30 pm, but so many shows end around this time that the Strip has a tradition after 22.00:23.00 pm (or 5:XNUMX pm, depending on the location) of a "reverse happy hour" with food and drinks starting at $XNUMX. .

Some of the best "reverse happy hours" in Vegas are:

  • Sugarcane Raw Bar and Grill (The Venetian)
  • Ra Sushi (Fashion Show Mall)
  • PKWY Tavern (multiple locations)
  • The Yard House (multiple locations)
  • Izkaya Go
Branch

Alcoholic brunch is one of the staples of Sin City. And in Vegas, the best of them get unlimited food and drink on weekends. Here are some of the best brunches in town:

Border Grill (Mandalay Bay): For $44, you can enjoy five-star all-you-can-eat Mexican small plates, both sweet and savory. You can also add bottomless Micheladas and Bloody Marys for an additional $27.

La Cave (Wynn): On Sundays only, one of the trendiest resorts on the Strip offers an all-you-can-eat brunch for $49 with mouth-watering options like truffle grits, Canadian bacon, and French toast, plus $34 for all-you-can-eat. You can drink caipirinha or mojito.

The Wynn Buffet (Wynn): One of the few restaurants offering Friday brunch, The Wynn Buffet is $50 for unlimited fine dining with the Endless Pour option for $28 per person. Due to its popularity, it is strongly recommended to book priority seats in advance (otherwise, the wait may be longer).

How to Enjoy the Nightlife Like a Celebrity

For many, the holy grail of a Vegas weekend is visiting the world famous Strip nightclubs. Unlike other club destinations such as South Beach and Los Angeles, Vegas is somewhat democratic. If you wait patiently in line and follow the dress code, you will eventually get inside.

Unless you have an expensive table booked or don't know someone at the door, you need to make sure you get there early if it's prime time.

“I recommend being there no later than 10 p.m. If you are a group of women, stop and talk to the promoters handing out flyers. Their job is to attract as many women as possible to the club, so you can easily get free entry with these flyers. Sorry guys, but you're out of luck,” says Abby Tegnelia.

Each club has a separate queue for hotel guests, so be sure to bring your room key with you. Depending on the night, you may also receive a discount.

If you are not staying at the hotel whose club you are trying to get into, you can also order dinner at the corresponding restaurant, if available. Dining at Tao or Lavo will take you to their clubs that night, and dining at Andrea's on Encore will earn you a hand stamp for Surrender.

If a local resident lists you through someone high in the club, be sure to mention that name at the door. Otherwise, you may end up with a longer queue than you need.

All the pandemonium stops after about 2 am, when the hosts have seated most of their large customers, and the queues of people trying to get inside have decreased. If you manage to contact your VIP host via text message, he will probably do away with those paying customers. This way, he can run downstairs to let you in and be more generous with his booze vouchers or find you a place to sit down. However, if he's having too much fun, he may not get your message right from the start.

Shows in Vegas without prices like in Vegas

“My favorite part of living near the Strip is being able to see so many shows. Similar to discount kiosks in Manhattan for Broadway shows, Tix 4 Tonight has kiosks at Bally's Grand Bazaar Shops, Showcase Mall, Casino Royale and other locations throughout the city. There you can find tickets for that evening's show for 50% off,” says Abby Tegnelia.

Ticket offices open at 10:00 and accept both major credit cards and cash. Come early!

Also don't forget to visit Vegas.comwhich has listings and deals for shows and some food items.

You can often find good deals here.

More Money Saving Tips

Here are some money saving tips you can use to keep your budget intact and still have a wonderful trip:

1. Skip the weekend. Most people visit Las Vegas on a Friday or Saturday and stay over the weekend, which means this is the most expensive time to visit. When visiting the city during the week, you can take advantage of significantly reduced prices for rooms and restaurants.

2. Play responsibly. Sure, this is Vegas, so you'll want to risk a few bucks at the casino, but don't go crazy. Bet only what you can afford to lose because the casino will most likely win.

3. Get rewarded. If you gamble, the casino will often recoup some of your losses in the form of food, discounted show tickets, and rooms. Be sure to ask about it (they are often offered to regulars as well, so make sure you don't unsubscribe from the hotel/casino mailing list).

4. Use coupons. Coupons in Las Vegas are almost a currency; casinos will give you a book of them when you sign up for a free player card and you will find 2 for 1 deals on food at restaurants on the Strip.

5. Do not pay for taxis with a credit card. Taxis charge a service charge when paying by credit card (sometimes up to $3!). Avoid this by paying in cash.

6. Eat at the buffet. Vegas has some of the best food in the world. With all the money coming in, this shouldn't come as a surprise, but if you really want to save money on food, stick with the all-you-can-eat buffet. The buffet costs around $20-$35 - but you can eat enough to last a long time!

7. Pre-drink in the casino. To cut down on expensive drinks at a bar or club, have a drink at the casino first. Drinks are free while you play one of the games, so just sit down at the penny machine, play slow, and drink fast. In the club you can drink 10 drinks for the price of one! Just make sure you tip your waiter

Note about car rental

Here's where you can save your money. If you are not planning any activities outside the city on your own, you do not need to rent a car. The airport is 10 minutes from any hotel, so the easiest way is by taxi. And even if you decide to go off-road or to the Hoover Dam, there are plenty of transfer options when booking.

Abby would advise you to rent a car only if you plan to go to the Grand Canyon or spend a couple of days out of town. Otherwise, skip the rental and save your money as she recommends.
