Visit Las Vegas
Overview Las Vegas is one of those places whose reputation precedes itself. The city was built with tourists in mind, so it should come as no surprise that close to 40 million people visit the city each year. Due to the fact that there are so many visitors who vacation in the city, it should come as no surprise that there are many different Vegas vacation options available for people, no matter what their budget. Luckily, people who are attempting to travel to Vegas on a tight budget will find that there are quite a few ways to get Vegas packages that won’t break the bank.
Drive vs. fly
Drive or fly to Vegas?
When planning to go to Las Vegas, many people immediately get in the mindset that they would like to fly to the city.
But, there is no sense in wasting the money on airfare if the distances between the departure city and Las Vegas are a reasonable distance away.
Nowadays, with all of the fees that are associated with airline tickets such as government fees and baggage fees, airline tickets are not so affordable, especially for people who are travelling on a tight budget.
So, if a few friends get together and rent a car, the savings would be astronomical even though it takes longer to reach the destination.
Air and hotel packages
Packages
When most people decide that they want to go to Las Vegas, they immediately check online for the best rates that they can get on their trip.
What many people do not know, however, is that when airfare and hotel are booked together as a package, it typically cost much less than if the two were booked separately.
Stay off the Strip
Final word
The Las Vegas Strip is usually the first and only place that visitors to Las Vegas seek to stay when they are in the city.
But, Las Vegas Strip hotels like Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand tend to be quite costly on a nightly basis, so as an alternative, hotels off the strip should be considered.
For example, Hooters Hotel is located right off The Strip, yet it is an arm's throw away from MGM Grand (across the street), and prices per night at this hotel is only a fraction of what it would cost to stay at MGM Grand.
