Las Vegas Travel Guide

Last Updated: April 18, 2024

But there’s more to visiting Sin City than just the Strip. This city is home to a growing art scene, incredible shows, an amazing mix of restaurants, events, nearby hiking, and history. The downtown area is being revived, there’s so much good food here (did I mention that? lol), and friendly people.

This travel guide to Vegas can help you navigate the city on a budget and show you that there’s more to Vegas than the Strip.

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Las Vegas

1. Take in a show

Vegas does entertainment better than anywhere else. You can find some of the best acts in the world here, from magic shows to comedy acts, circus performances to musicals. It’s often a good idea to book tickets with your accommodation as it can work out to be cheaper. Use Tix4Vegas (operated by Tix4Tonight) to find tickets for shows that night for up to 50% off. They have booths at Showcase Mall, Bally’s Grand Bazaar, and Casino Royale.

2. Experience Fremont Street

Fremont Street is where Vegas was born. The city’s first hotel opened up here in 1906, it became the city’s first paved street in 1925, and the first gaming license was issued to an establishment on Fremont in 1931. Today, Fremont Street offers a very different scene from the Strip, with dive bars, older casinos, and more of a New Orleans Bourbon Street vibe. It’s a great area for entertainment, people-watching, and cheap drinks. The Fremont Street Experience (FSE) on the western end of the street is a pedestrian mall with nightly light shows and street performances.

3. Splurge on a meal

Las Vegas has some of the best food in the world. With all that money flowing in, it is easy to see why. You can find every type of cuisine and every type of restaurant here, from Michelin-starred restaurants to gigantic, bottomless brunch buffets. A trip here isn’t complete without at least one fine dining experience. My favorite restaurants are Yellowtail (Bellagio), Lemongrass (Aria) The Peppermill, and Firefly.

4. Head to Hoover Dam & Lake Mead

Completed in 1936, the Hoover Dam is the country’s largest reservoir. Its massive curved wall towers 726 feet (221 meters) above bedrock and holds back over 9 trillion gallons of water in Lake Mead. It is an impressive feat of engineering, and the dam’s hydroelectric generators provide power to Nevada, Arizona, and California. This project was an important part of how the desert states of the Southwest were able to develop. The dam is free to see but the visitor center with its exhibits and observation deck costs $10 USD. A guided tour of the power plants and dam costs $30 USD. This will take you through the tunnels and you’ll get to ride the original elevator. You’ll visit the viewing platform and even get to see the massive Colorado River from inside the dam.

5. Visit the Neon Museum

This outdoor lot is brimming with the huge neon signs that once beckoned you into casinos like the Silver Slipper, Stardust, and El Cortez. The museum recently expanded and now features more signs, a park, and guided tours of their collection. For each sign, there are displays to read about its story and significance in Vegas history. Daytime admission is $20 USD and nighttime tours cost $25 USD. Make reservations in advance as this is a very popular attraction and it often sells out. The museum also offers “Neon Night Flights,” nighttime helicopter tours of Vegas’s neon lights (tickets start at $199 USD, which includes a guided tour and light show at the museum).

Other Things to See and Do in Las Vegas

1. take a trip to the grand canyon.

You can combine a trip to the Grand Canyon with an outing to Hoover Dam if you take one of the many coach tours (start around $110 USD). These take an entire day as the canyon isn’t that close to the city. Since they are over 250 miles (400 kilometers) away (a tour of the Canyon and Hoover Dam can easily take up to 14 hours). While I think the Grand Canyon deserves its own trip, if this is the closest you can get to it, a rushed visit is better than no visit. Tours with Get Your Guide take around 10 hours and cost $165 USD.

If possible, rent a car instead . That will give you more flexibility and will likely be cheaper if you can split a rental.

2. Explore Shark Reef Aquarium

As one of the most prestigious sea-life centers in the world, Shark Reef Aquarium is a must-see. Shark Reef tunnel, which is designed to look like a sunken ancient shipwreck, allows you to come face to face with over 2,000 species of sharks, sawfish, giant rays, endangered green sea turtles, and rare golden crocodiles. Holding over 1.3 million gallons, the aquarium’s main tank is one of the largest in North America. The aquarium is located in the Mandalay Bay Resort and tickets cost $29 USD for admission and a VR experience . There’s also an option to add the experience of feeding sharks or stingrays. Prices for the add-ons start at $65 USD.

3. See Vegas from The STRAT

Offering the best views of Vegas, The STRAT is the tallest free-standing observation tower in the US. If you’re feeling brave, consider trying the rides at the top. The aptly named X-Scream propels you headfirst 27 feet over the edge of the tower and leaves you hanging 850 feet in the air. Admission to the Sky Pod Observation Deck costs $20 USD. Adding a “Thrill Ride” is as little as $1 per ride, depending on the time of day, while Sky Jumps (think bungy jumping) start at $149 USD.

4. Hike Red Rock Canyon

If the bright lights of Vegas get too much for you, head out to Red Rock Canyon for a day of hiking. A road rings the canyon, and each trailhead has a parking lot where you can leave your car to go hike before driving to the next trailhead. At 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) long, the Calico Tanks trail is the most popular in the area. You pass a natural water tank on the way, which leads up to a summit offering a great view of Las Vegas. Make sure to come early in the morning before it gets too hot, and bring a lot of water, a hat, and sunscreen. The entrance costs $20 USD per vehicle (or $5 USD if you’re a pedestrian), and the scenic loop is open from 6am to at least 5pm. Other popular trails worth checking out are the Ice Box Trail (2.6 miles/4 kilometers), Keystone Thrust (2.2 miles/3.5 kilometers), and the White Rock-Willow Spring Loop (4.4 miles/7 kilometers).

If you’d rather splash out than hik, helicopter tours over Red Rock last 2-3 hours and cost $239 USD.

5. Check out the Mob Museum

Las Vegas started with the mafia. Bugsy Segel built the Flamingo and, since then, the mob has controlled Vegas (see the movie Casino , which is based on a true story). With the rise of mega-resorts, the mob has less influence these days, however, there would be no Vegas without the mafia. This detailed, eye-opening museum showcases the history of the mob and Vegas. It’s super informative! Don’t miss The Underground, a speakeasy and distillery underneath the museum where you can try Prohibition-era cocktails with moonshine crafted on-site. Fun fact: my family used to be involved with the mob out in Vegas. Admission is $34.95 USD (save $10 USD on admission by buying “happy hour” tickets online and visiting after 5pm Sunday-Friday or before 11am on Saturday).

6. See the Mirage Volcano

Set to its own soundtrack, this man-made volcano erupts finely choreographed fireballs and smoke 100ft into the air from the waters below, turning the waterfall to molten lava. It’s located at the Mirage (on the Strip) and has been erupting since the hotel opened in 1989. The volcano show happens nightly at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm, and 11pm. It’s one of the many free nightly displays on the Strip that hotels use to attract and captivate visitors.

7. Visit the Venetian

The Venetian Las Vegas is a luxury hotel, resort, and casino that, with a staggering 7,092 rooms, is the 2nd-largest hotel in the world. The architecture and construction of this casino are magnificent and one of the best on the Vegas Strip. While gondola rides are super cheesy, overpriced, and touristy (just like in Venice !), it’s worth spend some time walking through here. It’s super pretty and makes for a good stroll. Plus, it’s free!

8. Watch the Bellagio Fountain Show

The Bellagio resort offers a magnificent nightly light and water display set to music. The show has 4,792 lights and uses 1,214 water nozzles to send jets of water soaring as high as 460 feet (140 meters) across the 8.5-acre man-made lake in front of the hotel. I think it’s overhyped (probably due to Ocean’s 11 ), so while I wouldn’t make my night revolve around it as some people do, it’s worth seeing if you’re nearby. Check the Bellagio website for showtimes.

9. Hang out in Boulder City

Along the way to the Hoover Dam, this suburb offers a taste of local life in the area. Milo’s is the hot restaurant in this town. Check out the Public Art Scape, which consists of more than thirty unique sculptures spread throughout the town. You can also visit the free Hoover Dam Museum. It’s designed to give you a glimpse into the lives of the men and women who settled the town and built the dam during the Great Depression. Take a walk or bike along the Historic Railroad Trail that takes you through the tunnels and along the railroad bed that was used to move the materials needed to build the Hoover Dam. If you’re a golfer, there are a few courses around as well. There’s also a main street and some shopping you can do. Strolling around this quiet little community is a nice contrast to the crowds of Vegas.

10. Go golfing

There are many golf courses in Vegas, including Shadow Creek, considered one of the best and most expensive courses in the world (it costs $1000 – $1,250 USD to golf here). If you aren’t a member of any local clubs, many of the casinos can arrange day passes. You can find tee times starting at $30 USD per person on weekdays.

11. Get artistic at First Friday

On the first Friday of every month, the downtown area fills up with exhibits and displays from local artists during First Friday. It’s free and a great way to get a sense of the local art scene as well as mix with locals. The event hosts live music, food trucks, and vendors selling their various creations. It’s a great way to see what life looks like for the people who live and work in Las Vegas. Be sure also to check out Arts District 18B, the arts center of Las Vegas, which is home to cool bars, shops, galleries, and more.

12. Visit the Pinball Hall of Fame

If you’ve got nostalgia for the vintage-style pinball machines of your childhood arcade days, visiting the Pinball Hall of Fame (near the Strip) is a must. After moving to a new location in 2021, this museum now spans 25,000 square feet and is dedicated entirely to classic pinball games. Admission is free, though playing the games does cost money. Make sure you bring lots of quarters!

13. Come for the Life is Beautiful Festival

Life is Beautiful is a huge music and arts festival that takes place every September in downtown Las Vegas. You get all the big-name musicians, but there’s also lots of unique entertainment – Bill Nye and Rosario Dawson are just two of the festival’s past guests. Plus, the whole downtown core gets transformed into an open-air art gallery as street artists make the city their canvas. Even if you’re visiting after the festival is over, you still get to appreciate these artworks.

14. Check out the Arts Factory

Located in the Arts District downtown, the Arts Factory is a stark contrast to the glitz and glam of the Strip. Inside this 50-year-old warehouse, you’ll find galleries, studios, and all kinds of live art events (poetry readings, plays, etc.). While First Friday is the most active time to visit, you can really visit anytime. The exhibitions are always changing so there’s always something new going on. Check their website for an up-to-date schedule. It’s free to visit too.

15. Have fun at Area15

This immersive entertainment complex is hard to describe. It’s kind of like an indoor theme park and performance venue and retail center all rolled into one. There are events and performances (live music, drag shows), as well as dance party events with DJs. There are bars inside (including a bar and arcade combined) as well as several games and activities (like ax throwing). In short, it’s a huge complex with all kinds of weird and wonderful things to do. It’s free to enter, and then you pay for whatever activities you want to do. If you plan to go on a Friday or Saturday night after 10pm, book your activities in advance, as otherwise, you’ll have to pay $10 USD to get into the complex.

Las Vegas Travel Costs

Hostel prices – There are currently only a couple of hostels in Vegas. During peak season, a bed in a 4-6-bed dorm room starts at $45 USD. For a room with 8 beds or more, expect to pay around $40 USD. During the off-season, a bed in a room with 8 beds or more costs around $30 USD a night, and a bed in a 4-6-bed dorm is about $40 USD. Free Wi-Fi is standard and both hostels here have kitchens for cooking your own meals. Neither offers private rooms.

Budget hotel prices – You can find tons of cheap budget hotel options in Vegas near the Strip or downtown. Budget two-star hotels start around $90 USD in peak season and $65 USD off-peak when you factor in resort fees which usually add around $30 per night to the listed price.

There are lots of Airbnb options in Vegas, but not many are located near the Strip. Plus, there are so many high-end hotels offering low prices, you don’t really need to consider Airbnb. A private room starts around $60 USD per night while entire homes/apartments start at $100 USD. Expect to pay double (or triple) if you don’t book early.

Food – You can find everything in Vegas, from comfort food to international eats, fast food to luxury plates. It’s all here. In Chinatown, not far from the Strip, you’ll find traditional dim sum and plenty of reasonably priced places to get a good meal. One of the great things about Las Vegas is you can find food at all hours, especially in the main tourist areas.

If you’re on a budget, you can find cheap eats in Vegas at hotels and casinos where there are buffets costing $25-35 USD. While not exactly cheap, you can really fill up on food here and likely skip a meal later.

Towards the middle of the Strip near Horseshoe, there are a number of cheap chain restaurants like Chipotle, McDonald’s, and Subway where you can find cheap fast food. Slices of pizza go for about $6 USD and you can find burgers for $10 USD. Chinese takeout is $12-15 USD for a combination plate, which includes an entree, egg roll, and rice.

Vegas has lots of mid-range dining options, especially around downtown and Fremont Street. You can dine out for $15-20 USD per main course, including meat and pasta dishes.

A beer costs about $5-8 USD (but if you want to really save money, grab a beer from a corner store for less than $5 USD — you can drink on the street here). A glass of wine is $11-14 USD (at least). Cocktails are $13-16 USD in a restaurant or cocktail bar, but there are plenty of places to find cheap drinks around the Strip and Fremont, especially during happy hours.

A latte/cappuccino costs around $5.50 USD while bottled water is around $2 USD.

Vegas has some of the best high-end dining restaurants in the world, and you really should splurge on at least one good meal. You can get a prix-fixe three-course meal starting around $100 USD and can spend more than $500 for a meal in this city! But you can also get really delicious meals with two courses for about $55 USD.

If you cook your own food, expect to pay $50-65 USD per week for groceries including pasta, rice, vegetables, and some meat.

Two of my favorite restaurants here are Lotus of Siam and Esther’s Kitchen.

Backpacking Las Vegas Suggested Budgets

If you’re backpacking Vegas, expect to spend $80 USD per day. This budget covers a hostel dorm, using public transportation to get around, cooking your own meals, limiting your drinking, and doing free activities like the fountain shows and wandering Fremont. If you plan on drinking, add at least $10-20 USD to your budget per day.

A mid-range budget of $195 USD per day covers staying in a budget hotel or private Airbnb, eating out most of your meals at cheap restaurants, enjoying the occasional buffet, having a few drinks, gambling a bit, and doing some paid attractions such as seeing Hoover Dam or going to a concert.

On a “luxury” budget of $405 USD or more per day, you can stay in a hotel on the Strip, eat out at mid-range restaurants, drink more, see more shows, and rent a car to go on a trip to the Grand Canyon. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

Las Vegas Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

You can visit Las Vegas on a budget if you’re mindful of your spending. However, you can easily burn through money really, really quickly here if you aren’t careful (two drinks at the bar could cost you $40 USD!). Here are some ways to stay on a budget in Vegas:

• Skip the weekend – Most people visit Las Vegas on a Friday or Saturday and stay for the weekend, which means this is the most expensive time to visit. By visiting the city during the week, you can enjoy significantly reduced room rates and restaurant prices.
• Gamble responsibly – It’s Vegas, so of course, you want to risk a few dollars in a casino. Just don’t go wild. Only gamble what you can comfortably afford to lose because the house always wins.
• Get comps – If you’re gambling, casinos often reimburse some of your losses in the form of meals, discounted show tickets, and rooms. Make sure to ask about these!
• Redeem hotel points – Be sure to sign up for hotel credit cards and use those points when you travel. There’s nothing better than free accommodation and most cards come with at least 1-2 nights free. This post can help you get started with the basics so you can start earning points today and have plenty for your trip.
• Use coupons – Coupons are almost a currency in Las Vegas; casinos give you a book of them when you sign up for a (free) players card, and you can find 2-for-1 offers on meals in restaurants on the Strip.
• Don’t pay cabs with a credit card – Many taxis charge a $3 USD service charge when you pay with a credit card. Avoid the charge by paying cash.
• Eat at the buffet – To fill up on food, stick to the all-you-can-eat buffets. They cost about $25-35 USD per meal and you can really pack it on!
• Eat cheap at 5-star restaurants – Prime-time seating at the Strip’s five-star restaurants is between 8-10pm, but these hot spots like to be full all the time, so most have both happy hour and pre-show menus to kick off their evenings between 4pm-7pm.
• Go to Late Night Happy Hour – Most Vegas restaurants stop serving food by 10:30pm, but there are so many performers finishing up about that time that the Strip has a tradition of the post-10pm (or 11pm, depending on the place) “late night happy hour,” with food and drinks starting around $5 USD.
• Do brunch – A boozy brunch is a Sin City staple. The best ones come with unlimited food and drinks on the weekends. (I order my mimosas bottomless and tell them to “hold the juice.”)
• Drink at the casino before hitting the club – To cut down on expensive drinks at the clubs, drink on the casino floor. The drinks are free as long as you’re playing one of the games. Sit down at a penny slot machine, play slow, and drink fast. You can have 10 drinks for the price of one at the club! Just make sure you tip the waitress.
• Get discount tickets to shows – My favorite part about staying near the Strip is getting to see so many shows. Tix4Vegas has booths at Showcase Mall, Bally’s Grand Bazaar, and Casino Royale. There you can find tickets for shows that night for up to 50% off. You can also get them online too.
• Get the Go City Las Vegas Pass – This pass allows you to see a large number of attractions (and includes a free hop-off, hop-on tour as well as transportation on The Deuce). A two-day pass is $154 USD, a three-day pass is $264 USD, and a five-day pass is $344 USD with nearly fifty attractions to choose from. Some of the things you can enjoy with this pass are a free tour of the Hoover Dam, free entrance to Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N., and free entry to the Eiffel Tower experience.
• Save money on rideshares – Uber and Lyft are cheaper than taxis and are the best way to get around a city if you don’t want to take a bus or pay for a taxi — especially if you’re going to/from the airport.
• Hang out on Fremont Street – Drinks on the Strip are pricey. Save money by drinking down on Fremont. Drinks are much cheaper there!
• Bring a reusable water bottle – Vegas gets super hot (you’re in the desert after all!) so bring a reusable water bottle to keep you hydrated. The tap water is safe, but you can use a filter like LifeStraw to ensure your water is always clean.

Where to Stay in Las Vegas

Vegas only has a couple hostels since most people who come here want to live like a rock star for a few days. You can often find mid-week deals at local hotels and casinos for the same price or less than the hostel and be closer to all the action. Just be aware that most casinos also have a resort fee. If you want to stay in a hostel, here are my recommended places to stay:

• Sin City Hostel

How to Get Around Las Vegas

Public Transportation – Most of the Strip is connected via tunnels and walkways, but when it’s too hot, the monorail is a good option for getting around. The monorail stops at seven different points on the Vegas Strip, including several different major hotels. A one-way ride is $5.50 USD, while a one-day pass is $13.45 USD. You can buy up to a seven-day pass, depending on how long you’re staying.

The bus system in Vegas is known as The Deuce. It’s one of the best ways to get between downtown and the Strip, with the two main routes are The Deuce on the Strip and the SDX. A single-ride is $4 and a two-hour bus pass is $6 USD, while a 24-hour pass is $8 USD. A three-day pass is $20 USD. You can buy tickets on the bus, from ticket vending machines, or on the rideRTC, Lyft, and Uber apps.

The city also provides a free shuttle service that stops at many of the main districts and attractions. The Las Vegas Downtown Loop runs Monday-Thursday, 11am-6pm, and Fridays and Saturdays from 3pm-10pm.

Taxis – Taxis start at $3.50 USD to start and go up by $2.76 USD per mile. Many taxis also charge a processing fee of around $3 USD if you don’t pay cash. Also, if you take a taxi from the airport there is a $2 USD surcharge. Fixed rates from the airport start at $17-27 USD per zone and go up from there. Since traffic here can be a pain it’s best to just skip the taxis if you can.

Ridesharing – Uber and Lyft are cheaper than taxis and are the best way to get around the city if you don’t want to take a bus or pay for a taxi. They do add up though so skip them if you can.

When to Go to Las Vegas

Vegas is busy all year-round, but especially during the winter months when the rest of North America comes seeking Nevada’s hot, desert temperatures.

Spring and fall temperatures are pleasant, with highs averaging between 69-82°F (20-28°C). There are a lot of festivals and outdoor events during these seasons. The Electric Daisy Festival, a huge electronic music festival, happens in May. Both the iHeart Radio and Life is Beautiful music festivals happen in September.

Summer is a scorcher, with temperatures reaching 105°F (40°C). It’s a good time to visit though because prices are lower. All the casino resorts and indoor spaces are well-equipped with air conditioning to keep you cool. Many of the resorts have pools and shaded areas outdoors as well.

It’s especially busy in Las Vegas during the week between Christmas and New Years’ and also at the end of January when a lot ofthe conventions are in town. March in Vegas can be total chaos when Spring Break and college basketball hits so, if you want lower prices and fewer crowds, definitely do not come during these times!

How to Stay Safe in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a safe place to visit, including if you’re a solo traveler or solo female traveler. Violent attacks are rare, but like all big cities, practice caution wherever you go. Vegas does have some gang violence, but if you stick to Fremont Street and the Strip you likely won’t come in contact with it.

As a general rule, don’t walk alone at night in unlit places and keep your valuables secure at all times. Keep an eye on your wallet while in large crowds on Fremont Street or on public transportation.

Be wary of buying things from street vendors. This is especially true for event tickets as the tickets are often fake.

Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.).

Worried about getting ripped off? Read about common travel scams to avoid here (though there aren’t too many scams here).

If you’re hiking, always bring water and sunscreen, especially during the summer. If you rent a car, don’t leave any valuables in it overnight. While break-ins are rare, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

If you experience an emergency, dial 911 for assistance.

Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID. Forward your itinerary along to loved ones so they know where you are.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

How to Visit Las Vegas on a Budget

Things to do, where to eat.

Getting Around

Vegas devotees know that there are many, many cheap and free things to do in Las Vegas —but this city wasn’t meant to be a bargain. Remember that its very raison d’être is to separate you from your money. All the distractions are lures. And the house always wins.

That said, Vegas’ job is to appeal both to the budget traveler and the traveler for whom budget is no object. For those who want to make smart use of their travel budget and still make room for a few splurges, here are some planning tips.

While it is true that there are plenty of things to do year-round in Las Vegas, it’s also true that there’s a high season, and knowing when to travel can save you a lot. The best time to visit is generally the shoulder seasons of March to May and September to November. These months offer the most moderate weather and, generally, the most moderate prices. Although Las Vegas does get cold in the winter, it also gets lots of visitors, especially around New Year’s Eve. As you might imagine, hotel prices reflect the popularity.

You should also keep in mind that the convention business is Las Vegas’ lifeblood. Come during the MAGIC fashion trade show or the Consumer Electronics Show and you’re virtually guaranteed a hotel shakedown—that is, if you can find a room at all. Occasionally, Vegas plays host to several large conventions all at once, which can affect nearly all the prices in the city. If your trip dates are flexible, start your research on the city’s official convention and trade show site . Avoiding the major conventions will help you search out the less busy (and less expensive) travel times.

Many of the best things in Las Vegas (as in life) are free. And while it's clear that those free things are really engineered to keep you in Las Vegas longer with the goal of getting you to spend money, you really can indulge without parting with (that much) of your hard-earned cash.

Explore Attractions Inside and Around the Bellagio

You won't want to miss the tried-and-true iconic draws of the Las Vegas Strip, such as the Bellagio Fountains , whose 400-plus-foot-high water jets are choreographed to the stylings of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Lady Gaga, Andrea Bocelli, and many more. And the best place to see them is right from the street, completely for free.

Go inside the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Garden for its rotating, seasonal display of tens of thousands of flowers and animatronic animals (there's never been the same display twice).

Marvel at Wynn's Lake of Dreams

Wynn's Lake of Dreams recently got a $14 million overhaul. The lake, which you can only see from inside the resort, can be accessed via the curving escalator that leads down to SW Steakhouse and Lakeside restaurant, and you'll see such wild new sights as a trio of giant, animatronic exotic birds gyrating to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," as well as a mysterious spacewoman floating over the lake to David Bowie's "Space Oddity."

And if you haven't had your fill of wow-worthy shows, just a 15-minute walk away is the volcano at Mirage, which erupts nightly in a pyrotechnic display that might scare the kids, but you'll remember it forever.

Check Out Public Art Displays

Art lovers will find plenty to love in the city, from the incredible public art collection on the 67-acre CityCenter campus (look for Henry Moore, Claes Oldenburg, and Nancy Rubin, among many others). And although you'll have to book well in advance through Louis Vuitton in The Shops at Crystals, its 20-minute, hidden, immersive art room by light artist James Turrell— Akhob —is totally free.

Get a Selfie with a Vegas Landmark

Looking for the best selfie spots? Bookend your trip with the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign , on the Strip's south end, and the new "Downtown Las Vegas Gateway Arches," the new, 80-foot-high neon arches that now welcome visitors to the city's wild and fun Downtown area. Or, take a picture with someone you love standing in the "O" of the ruby red "LOVE" sculpture in the waterfall atrium in Palazzo.

Breakfast and lunch can add up (especially in-room dining, where surcharges can be steep). If you’re here to save a bit of money so you can have a few blowout dining experiences, choose hotels that have lower-priced options attached to them or within close proximity.

For instance, the Venetian has some of the most top-notch restaurants in the city, but it also has the food court at Grand Canal Shoppes . Likewise, you could blow all your money on restaurants at Caesars or eat a bit more frugally at Forum Shops at Caesars and save your pennies. New cafés at Wynn, such as Urth Caffé, are more gently priced than most of its restaurants, but it’s also a short walk across the street to Fashion Show Mall, where you’ll find a Starbucks and plenty of cheap eats.

If you’ve rented a car or are one of the many tourists who come by car, look into hotel suites such as those at Aria, Vdara, and slightly off-Strip at Platinum Hotel Las Vegas, which come with kitchenettes or full-size kitchens. Considering how much you can spend on food (and drinks) here, you can actually offset the price of your stay in a fancier room if you eat some meals in.

Tips for Booking a Hotel

Las Vegas hotels are tiered; it's a basic truth that some are just more expensive than others. Budget hotels on the Las Vegas Strip are aplenty, but you can also deals and save costs on even the most luxurious resort—here's how.

• Signing up for hotel loyalty programs—such as Venetian’s Grazie, Wynn’s Red Card, Caesars Rewards, and MGM’s MLife—will reward you with comp points, food and beverage credits, show tickets, and lots of other deals that will soften prices.
• It's not uncommon to stumble on an outstanding hotel deal, like, say, a room advertised for $29 a night, but a word of caution: Once you add a resort fee (hotels are now charging between $35 and $45 per night) and parking, and the 12 to 13 percent hotel room tax on the Strip and Downtown, those prices start to look a little less like a bargain.
• There’s a downward trend in parking fees, but mostly for self-parking. Check the rates before you book.
• No matter when you decide to visit Las Vegas, planning a mid-week trip can make a difference of hundreds of dollars. You’ll find rooms at their lowest rates between Tuesday and Thursday. (Logic would tell you that Sunday night stays would be a great idea, but this often doesn’t hold true. Weeklong conventions often start on Monday mornings, which is why the airport can be a nightmare on a Sunday.)
• Many people don’t know that a lot of the hotel casinos actually publish their own rate calendars well in advance. There’s often no need to look up random dates and hope for the best: It’s all there on the calendar. MGM’s hotels have always done this (a recent search showed a difference in rates of $49 on a weekday and $159 on a weekend night for the same room at MGM Grand ). You might have to do a little digging, though, since a few hotel casinos bury them within the site.

Apologies to the hardworking taxi drivers of Las Vegas, but there’s no reason to take a cab anymore. Here's how to get around Vegas on a budget.

• Depending on all the same factors above (season, conventions, and special events), an entire day’s rental car can cost less than a taxicab from McCarran International Airport to the Strip.
• Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft run about half the price of a taxi, and all the hotels have dedicated rideshare lanes.
• The Las Vegas Monorail runs from the Sahara (all the way at the north end of the Strip) south to MGM Grand, stopping at the Las Vegas Convention Center, on the Strip’s east side. Six of the Strip hotels have monorail stations, so if you’re planning to go the length of the Strip, it’s a good option. Single ride tickets cost $5, an unlimited 24-hour pass is $13, and a three-day pass is $29.
• The Deuce, a double-decker transit bus, stops every 15 to 20 minutes on the Strip. You can buy a two-hour Strip pass for $6 or a 24-hour pass with unlimited rides for $8.
• A free tram on the south end of the Strip connects Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur on the south end of the Strip; another free tram connects Treasure Island and Mirage; and there’s a Bellagio/CityCenter/Park MGM Tram, also free, that runs about every seven minutes.

A Budget Travel Guide to Las Vegas

Introduction

While Las Vegas might seem like the type of place reserved for the big spenders and the big ballers with cash to flash, it needn’t be a pipe dream holiday just because you have a slightly stricter budget. There are plenty of ways to save money whilst still having the full experience. 

As with most places, when it comes to traveling on a budget, it’s all about being in the know. That’s why we’ve put together this budget travel guide to Las Vegas to help you get around and have a great time, without having to rack up huge bills behind you everywhere you go. 

So yes, you can have a small budget and still go big in Vegas. Keep reading to find out how.

Tips for Saving Money in Las Vegas

Here are some of the best tips for how to save money when you’re staying in Las Vegas. 

Book Your Trip Ahead of Time

Booking your trip in advance will help you save money as you’ll be able to shop around for the best deals, and you won’t be hustled into paying extra for flights or hotel rooms due to it being the last option available. However, it does mean you’ll be locked into these flight times. 

Another good way to look for cheaper flights is by choosing ones that fly in the early hours of the morning or late at night, as the unsociable hours mean the prices are reduced. 

Pick the Right Season to Travel 

Picking the cheapest times to go to Las Vegas can be another good way to make sure you’re not paying the highest prices as these tend to increase during certain seasons. 

Avoid traveling around holidays as a general rule as these are always busier or more expensive (although traveling on a holiday is comparably much cheaper), and aim for months like July, August, and mid-December instead as these are during the slow season. 

Avoid Going to Las Vegas at the Weekends

Unsurprisingly, weekends are one of the most expensive times to travel to Las Vegas with costs essentially doubling compared to what you would be charged for a weekday visit.

According to James Filsinger , who is the president and chief executive of Yapta, a website specifically designed to compare the prices of various hotels and airfare, “instead of flying with the masses on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, travel on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday and you’ll find that prices are lower”.  

However, be sure to check out the convention calendars , as some events may happen during the week that can make hotel rates a lot more expensive. For example, when CES events and other big trade shows are in town midweek you tend to see an increase in prices. 

Find Cheap Hotels to Stay At

The best way to find cheap hotels is through thorough research and comparing the different prices for different hotels. Some of the most affordable hotels on the strip include the following, which are often available for prices less than $70.00 per night:

It’s often cheaper to book with the hotel directly than it is through third-party booking sites as you’ll be paying additional fees on top of the hotel rates. Off-strip hotels are also much cheaper, although you will need to factor in any additional travel costs to and from the strip. 

Additionally, it’s worth checking to see if your hotel will price-match their rates if you end up finding a better deal elsewhere, or if they offer discounts for nearby restaurants and shops.

Join the Player’s Clubs

If you tell anyone you’re planning on taking a trip to Vegas, most of them will reply by advising you to sign up to the player’s club in every casino you visit, but how will this save you money? 

By joining one or more of the player’s clubs, you can accumulate points when you gamble to receive great deals, free show tickets, meals, or rooms from the casinos. Different establishments will offer their own rewards or offers and member’s only exclusive events. 

Player’s clubs are also free to sign up to which means there’s no downside to joining as many as possible before you start playing in the casinos.

Be Smart When You Gamble

When you’re in Vegas, there’s nothing more dangerous than a credit card with no upper spending limit or a debit card that gives you access to more money than you budgeted for. 

Enjoying your time in Vegas on a budget requires you to be smart with your gambling. This means pacing yourself and making sure you don’t blow the budget by betting it all on red. 

Only take out as much cash as you think you’ll need for the day and leave the rest locked away in the safe that will be provided in your hotel room to help you stick to your budget.

Don’t Pay For Taxis Using Your Card

If you do end up taking a taxi, don’t pay with your card. Many taxis will charge you a $3.00 service charge when you pay with a credit card, so avoid this charge by paying for your trips in cash. It might not sound like much, but $3.00 here and there soon starts to add up. 

Besides, any card that gets left behind in a taxi is likely lost forever. Not only is this bad news for your budget, but if someone else comes along and picks it up they could end up using up the last of your budget before you even get a chance! 

Avoid Using Casino ATMs

Most casino ATMs will charge a pretty high fee for withdrawing cash, but there are plenty of ways you can get cash out for free in Vegas, including the following.  

Recent technology has made it even easier to accidentally overspend and exceed your budget as there are now tabletop ATMs that are able to pay out, between hands, in casino chips rather than actual cash. Unlike regular ATM limits of up to $500, these PlayOn ATMs allow you to withdraw much higher sums of money like $3,000 to $5,000 a day. 

Hot Tip: There is a BOA ATM inside the M&M's store on the Las Vegas Strip, or in many of the local convenience stores such as Target, CVS, and Walgreens which have cheaper fees. 

Refill Your Water Bottles Instead of Buying New Ones

The weather in Las Vegas is known for being hot and humid, so it’s important to make sure you’re drinking lots throughout the day so that you don’t end up becoming dehydrated.

With over 300 days of sunshine every year, hydration is key when it comes to this holiday destination. Alcohol is expensive (and it’s also not that hydrating) and the costs can quickly start to add up if you’re having to repeatedly buy soft drinks and bottled water during the day. 

Instead, why not pack or purchase a refillable water bottle which you can fill up throughout the day? Not every place will be willing to do this, but most Starbucks’ will happily send you out on your way with a full bottle of water. Hotel fitness centers will also have filtered water. 

If you’re willing to search for them, you might also be able to find a few of the casino’s water fountains that are dotted in between the tables. Another incentive to drink from your refillable bottle instead of buying a new single-use bottle for every drink is that it is more eco-friendly. 

Fill Up At the Buffet

While there are certainly some gorgeous restaurants in Las Vegas that would keep any foodie in the family happy, a lot of the time, people come to Vegas for the gambling scene. 

If that sounds more like you, a great way to save money is to eat your fill at a buffet rather than forking out for fancy meals every night. Breakfast buffets are ideal as you can fill up in the morning which will mean you’re less likely to eat out on expensive food during the day. 

Some of the best buffets in Vegas will offer a taste of cuisines from all over the world and some may even include alcoholic beverages with your unlimited meal.  

Drink At the Casino Before Heading To the Club

It’s easy to spend money at the casinos in Vegas, but one thing you won’t be paying for is your drinks, as most gambling establishments offer free alcoholic beverages to patrons. 

You will need to be a paying customer to benefit from this and in some places, you’ll need to be spending over a certain amount before you’ll attract the attention of the staff, but getting the drinks in while they're free means you won’t use up your budget on drinks at the club.

How To Get Around Las Vegas on a Budget

Getting around Las Vegas on a budget means staying away from the taxis that swarm the strip, as many will overcharge tourists by taking you on a longer route to rack up the meter. 

To avoid being swindled, here are a few cheaper, alternative ways to get around in Vegas.

Use the Monorail

You can get around a lot of Las Vegas just using the tunnels and walkways, but another option is to use the monorail which stops at seven different points on the Vegas strip and costs just $5.00 for a single ride.

Rail passes are also a good idea if you think you’ll be traveling around a lot but you don’t want to lock yourself in with tickets for specific days or times, and they’ll often be much cheaper ( $12.00 a day ) than the cost of booking individual trips as well as being more flexible.

Taxis can be quite expensive in Las Vegas. A good cheaper alternative is to use ridesharing apps like Lyft and Uber which costs a lot less but saves you from taking the bus or walking. 

Plus, according to TripSavvy , the majority of hotels will have dedicated rideshare lanes so you won’t have to wander too far from where you’re staying just so you can catch a ride. 

Consider Car Rentals

If you’re going to be doing a lot of traveling to various different places during your stay in Vegas, you might want to consider renting a car to help you get around, although you’ll need to be over 21 years old and have a full driver’s license in order to rent a car in your name.  

With a bit of savvy internet sleuthing you can find car rental deals that cost as little as $35.00 a day for a multi-day rental period, or perhaps for even less if you’re staying for longer.  

Cheap Things To Do in Las Vegas  

When you’re not gambling in the casinos, what else is there to do in Las Vegas when you’re on a tighter budget? Not everywhere in Vegas charges an admission fee, so check out some of the free activities and things to do from the list we’ve put together for this next section. 

Visit the High Roller

The Las Vegas skyline wouldn’t be the same without the soaring 550 foot High Roller Observation Wheel that stands out amongst the towering buildings at the eastern end of the Las Vegas Strip, so it’s definitely a sight worth seeing if you’re already in the area.

You can do more than just see it from the ground - from a starting price of just $8.50 for kids and $23.50 for adults during the day, tickets are available for a trip on the wheel where you’ll get to witness 360-degree views for approximately 30 minutes in one of the 28 comfy cabins. 

There are also deals and discounts that apply to locals, students, seniors, or service members, and certain times such as happy half-an-hour which includes a bar and a bartender in the cabin you choose to take your trip around the wheel in. 

Visit the Eiffel Tower

Now, don’t let us confuse you. You won’t be able to see the infamous Parisian Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas . Obviously. But you can go to see the half-scale Eiffel Tower replica at the Paris Hotel and Casino as it puts on an intricate and beautiful light display every half an hour. 

See all the way out to the mountains with a fantastic panoramic view of the city and the surrounding valley from the 460-foot viewing area that is 50 stories high. 

Good news if you’re a student or a local resident as you’ll get 50% off your standard ticket price upon proof of a valid Nevada ID or US student ID card. You can also receive $5.00 off any ticket with your US military ID or if you are a visitor who is over the age of 60.

Check Out the Strat Tower

The Strat is the tallest, free-standing observation tower in America and it boasts some of the best views that Vegas has to offer. There are even rides at the top of the tower that are only $5.00 each a ride, although sky jumps and bungy jumping are a lot pricier starting at $139.00. 

A standard adult ticket starts at $25.00 with concessionary prices for residents of Nevada, members of the military, senior citizens, students, and children. If you’re a guest at the Strat Casino, you can get your entry ticket for just $10.00. 

It’s open to the public from 10:00 to 01:00 from Sunday to Thursday, and from 10:00 to 02:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, although the opening hours for the complex restaurants and stores may vary. You can also take the monorail as it’s a 2-block walk from the Sahara station. 

Shark Reef Inside Mandalay Bay

You can get up close and personal with some of the world’s most fascinating predators at the Shark Reef aquarium and exhibit at Mandalay Bay . They host over 2,000 animals, including sharks, giant rays, endangered green sea turtles, piranha, and a komodo dragon. 

It’s cheaper to opt for a timed entry ticket which is priced at $29.00 for adults, $27.00 for seniors (65+), $24.00 for children aged 5 to 12, and free for children under the age of 4.

Anytime pricing starts from July 1st and is a more flexible option as it permits you entry up until 17:00 when the doors are closed to visitors, but adult tickets are priced at $36.00.

Go To the Las Vegas Comedy Club

If you’re looking for as many laughs as well as big wins at the casinos, check out the Las Vegas Comedy Club for something that might tickle your fancy without costing you an arm and a leg. 

It’s only $34 to see a live comedy show in Planet Hollywood where some of the best comedians have performed in a more intimate theatre setting so the jokes don’t get lost in the crowds. Edwin San Juan is their current full-time headliner and is hilarious - his observational comedy and crowd-pleasing antics make for an unforgettable show. 

Visit the Springs Preserve

One of the hidden gems of Las Vegas is the Springs Preserve which is another great activity to choose if you’re looking to get away from the big city for a bit. 

It’s just $18.95 for an adult ticket and kids can go for $10.95 and you’ll have the whole day to explore the beautiful botanical gardens. You can wander around the outdoor spaces amongst the flowers and nature or take in some of the history in one of the onsite museums. 

There’s a butterfly habitat that hosts some of the most beautiful species and you’ll also find a play area for the kids to enjoy while you take a break from walking around. 

If You Have Kids, Go To ‘Dig This’

A lot of people think that it’s trickier to go to Vegas when you have kids traveling with you, but there are plenty of cheap and affordable ways to keep them entertained during the day so that they’ll sleep well enough at night for you to head down to the casino. 

If you really want to make sure they’re tuckered out, you should definitely consider taking them to ‘ Dig This ’ which is an adult-sized sandbox that allows your little ones to experience the excavators, bulldozers, and dirt to play in.  

Children aged five and older are allowed to get behind the wheel on their own whilst kids aged three to four will need an adult to give them the hand. It costs $20.00 for 15 minutes in the sandbox, which seems a little stingy, but we guarantee that your kid will have so much fun that it will feel like a lifetime there.

Visit the Neon Museum

For those who love exploring the culture through visiting museums and galleries while they’re away, you’ll love the Neon Museum which costs just $17.00 for a daytime tour for adults. 

This collection of over 120 of Las Vegas’s most iconic neon signs has been restored and displayed for travelers to learn about. There are also concessionary prices available with local, military, student, and senior discounts which would make the tickets cheaper again.

Have Some Fun At the VR Experience At Pole Position Raceway 

The next recommendation we have for you is the VR experience offered at Pole Position Raceway. Ever thought about how you would survive in the face of an apocalyptic hoard of zombies? Well, with this activity, you can be sure to find out. 

The experience involves a new high-tech OmniArena in which you’ll find yourself immersed in several different virtual battles against the undead, robots, soldiers, or pirates, depending on the preferences of the players. Tickets for this start at just $15.00.

Have a Hiking Day At the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

The bright lights of the big city are incredible, but the novelty can wear off pretty quickly if you’re not used to such hustle and bustle back home. A great (and cheap) way to take a breather from the business of the main strip is to plan a hiking day at the Red Rock Canyon. 

There are some great trails such as the popular Calico Tanks trail where you can get to see stunning views of Las Vegas from the top of the summit. It’s cheaper to walk as you’ll only need to pay the $5.00 entrance fee, whereas entering with a vehicle will cost $15.00. 

You could also look at hiking some of the other popular trails such as the Ice Box Trail (2.6 miles), the White Rock Willow Spring Loop (4.4 miles), or the Keystone Thrust (2.2 miles). 

Have a Bowling Night At Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas

Forget about everything you think you know about bowling alleys, as the Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas exceeds all expectations. There isn’t a whiff of sweaty socks or stale shoes in the air in this cool, retro place filled with chesterfield couches and cocktail waitresses. 

Think bowling alley plus concert venue plus a restaurant combined into one swanky spot. There are 32 Brunswick state-of-the-art lanes with huge high-definition projection screens and table service is available at the lanes and bowler’s lounge. Plus, when there’s a concert playing, you get a live music performance thrown in for the price of your ticket as well.

It’s great for families during the day (11:00 - 18:00) when tickets cost $25.00 for a 30-minute session, but they go up in price by $5.00 from 18:00 until close when there’s a cooler crowd.

Go Back In Time At Pinball Hall of Fame

If you’re old enough to remember the vintage pinball machines from a childhood spent playing in the arcades, take a trip to the Pinball Hall of Fame for a hit of nostalgia that can take you all the way back to the 1940s, as well as the chance to play some modern games. 

It's located right next to the strip after moving to a new place in April 2021 and it now boasts 25,000 square feet of space that is filled with your favorite classic pinball machines. Don’t forget to bring your quarters, but otherwise, this is a great cheap activity to do in Las Vegas. 

Eat Downtown 

Food is one of the easiest things to overspend on, even when you’ve budgeted strictly for it. Eating downtown is much cheaper and can be a great evening out nonetheless. 

The Fremont East bar district in downtown Vegas is more than just affordable, it’s actually one of the biggest and hottest food scenes currently thriving in the city. It has a great vibe that attracts all sorts of hipsters and the rad restaurants are really reasonably priced. 

A few of our favorite spots include Le Thai, VegeNation, Evel Pie, and Carson Kitchen, but there are so many different places to try that you could definitely dine there most nights and still keep your food bill below $20 at most of the restaurants! 

Get On the Slotzilla Zip Line 

Here is another thrilling activity that might blow your mind but won’t blow the budget.

For the price of just $20.00 and your life flashing before your eyes, you can experience the world-famous Slotzilla zip line which will get you 114 feet up into the air where you will see views of Fremont Streets as you travel 850 feet across it at speeds seen in a NASCAR race.

It only takes about 20 minutes for the whole experience to wrap up, but you won’t be able to see Fremont Street the same way ever again after viewing it from up here. 

Visit Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art

Less interested in the adrenaline rush and more interested in the Art this city has to offer? Check out the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art to see the world-class exhibits shown in both famous museums and as part of private collections. 

Tickets are around $18 for which you’ll get to see works from the likes of Warhol and Monet.

Get Your Adrenaline Pumping At Adventuredome at Circus Circus 

Our final family-friendly activity that’s affordable but will certainly get your adrenaline pumping is the Adventuredome at Circus Circus . The indoor theme park is one of the largest in the whole of America and has over five acres of activities to keep your kids entertained. 

Check out some of the roller coasters, bumper cars, mini-golf, or try winning yourself one of the stuffed animal prizes from one of the many midway games. There is plenty to do for all ages making this the perfect place for a family day out, and you can easily spend the day.

In terms of prices, you can pay as little as $6 to $12, but if you are planning on staying there a little longer than the length of a few rides, you’ll get better value for money if you purchase an all-day pass for $31.95 or a junior all-day pass for $17.95 (must be under 48 inches tall).

We hope that we’ve been able to show you just how affordable Las Vegas can be if you want to stick to a stricter budget while you’re away and that the tips and tricks we’ve included throughout this article will help you save money whilst still having the best time. 

It doesn’t always need to be outrageously big bets and penthouse suites and rogue tigers - this isn’t ‘The Hangover’, after all, it’s a regular holiday and tourist destination, where regular holidaymakers and tourists visit. Don’t count yourself out of this list before you’ve even tried!

Cheap Las Vegas package deals

Most popular las vegas flight and hotel deals, last minute holiday packages to las vegas, search by stars, search by review score, search by board, search by price, search by freebies, when to book a holiday in las vegas, tips for finding cheap holiday packages las vegas.

• There are loads of types of holidays in Las Vegas and the cost will depend on what type of trip you’re taking and for how long you’d like to stay. Here are the latest prices for a 3 night trip for 2 travellers: Top holiday £463; Family holiday £428; Romantic holiday £513; Luxury holiday £536; Budget holiday £348.

Why should you book a holiday package to Las Vegas?

The best way to enjoy Las Vegas, saving time and money, is with a holiday package. By bundling together hotels and flights, you will often be able to take advantage of preferential rates, as opposed to standard single rates when booking separately. You will also save time matching hotel availability to your flights. If flexibility isn’t your priority, Las Vegas holiday deals could leave you more money to spend in the city itself, rather than on getting there.

When should you book a holiday package to Las Vegas?

Booking a Las Vegas flight and hotel package is an efficient way to save on stress and cash. For the best deals and rooms, it’s advisable to search for Las Vegas holiday deals during quieter periods. Traveling during the week is generally more affordable than at weekends, and by booking earlier you can help avoid higher rates. The July-August ‘Monsoon’ season is a good time to find Las Vegas travel deals, as most travelers opt to visit during spring and fall when the weather is hotter and dryer. It’s also a good time to get away from the concrete and visit the surrounding valleys, mountains and national parks in cooler weather.

Whilst searching for Las Vegas travel deals, be sure to check out seasonal activities. Most crowd-pulling events such as the NASCAR race, the Super Bowl, and the Rodeo happen during fall and winter as well as major conventions such as the Consumer Electronics Show and the Magic International.

Vegas on a budget: 5 things to do for free, finding value at costco travel, members tell all: costco member hotel reviews, more about las vegas.

Las Vegas is a world of imagination. Just close your eyes and think about anything, and the odds are in your favor that you'll find it in Las Vegas. I mean, in only four miles of real estate, you can see relics from all parts of the world, like ancient Egypt, modern-day Venice, the streets of Paris, and the New York skyline. If that seems too kitschy, don't worry, there are plenty of elaborate resorts with non-stop gaming and over-the-top entertainment waiting to greet you. Where else in the world does a wonderland like this exist? Nowhere. But. Vegas.

The atmosphere of Las Vegas is something that you almost have to experience to understand fully. It's the ringing of chimes as a guest just hit the jackpot, the thumping bass from the club, the smell of unique and eclectic delicacies waiting to be tasted, and it's people-watching like nothing you've seen before. It's a never-ending source of irony and improbability where you can turn a chip and a chair into a million dollars.

For each visitor, Las Vegas is going to present a unique experience. It's like an equation where you + more = more of you: more chances to explore your personality, more opportunities to experiment with new ideas, and more thrills to discover around every corner. It's that reason alone that the sentiment "what happens here, stays here" is shared by so many visitors.

Before You Go

• To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
• Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
• Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
• Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
• If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
• For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.
• December through February: 60° to 66° (Winter)
• March through May: 72° to 90° (Spring)
• June through August: 102° to 104° (Summer)
• September through November: 96° to 70° (Autumn)

The Vegas climate's bark is worse than its bite. Sure, summer highs hover around 100°F, but with no humidity and ever-present air-conditioning, you'll be comfortable as long as you have water on hand. Even the warmer months (June-September) are entirely bearable if you hydrate. Luckily, with 300 days of sunshine a year, the chances of a rain-out are slim. On the other hand, nights can be chilly between late fall and early spring, so bring a sweater or windbreaker for your evening strolls beneath the neon-bathed skies. Las Vegas doesn't have a high or low season by the standard definition, but you'll find it the least crowded between November and January. Hotels are at their fullest July through October. Specific events—New Year's Eve, spring break, major conventions, sporting events—draw big crowds, so plan accordingly.

Search by review score, search by price, search by freebies, how much is a las vegas hotel, 2 stars and below, 4 stars and above, good to know, where to stay in las vegas.

Las Vegas has famously cherrypicked the world’s iconic destinations for ideas - and made them its own.

In most tourism-heavy cities, the hotels serve the destination. You stay at one near the beach for instance, or that’s located in an area of town you like, and hopefully, the hotel is nice. In many ways, hotels in Las Vegas are the destination. So, where you choose to stay will, in many ways, define your Vegas vacation. The obvious reason for this is the heavily themed nature of the hotels, from the laser beam-topped Egyptian pyramid to the Eiffel Tower to the hotel fronted by a 45-foot-tall lion seemingly plucked from the production logo of an MGM film. But perhaps the more accurate reason is that these hotels are essentially self-contained cities. The aim of the casinos is to keep you inside, and spending money, so they’re constantly upgrading rooms, adding restaurants and enhancing the shopping experience. You get the idea: once you’re inside, that may be your Vegas for the week. Choose wisely.

Wynn las vegas and encore.

Hands down the most luxurious hotel in Las Vegas, this is true resort living—and most of its devoted guests don’t leave the hotel while they’re here. Wynn and its sister resort, Encore , look out onto their own par-70 championship golf course – the only one on the Strip. Big, sunlit atriums, private show lakes and waterfalls, and a treasure trove of secret-feeling moments (like dragons guarding century-old pomegranate trees outside the first Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in North America) keep this resort feeling endlessly surprising. It’s the largest Forbes Five-Star resort in the world, and from the en-pointe service to the no-details-spared design, you’ll see it at every turn.

Aria Las Vegas

One of the best-located resorts on the Strip, Aria is part of the vast CityCenter complex and is connected by a walkway to Park MGM (which looks right out to T-Mobile Arena in its front yard and has the popular Dolby Live concert venue). It is refreshingly modern, with its streamlined design and natural materials inside two sleek glass towers. Its seven SkyVillas and 400 Sky Suites on the top floors of the 50-floor hotel have their own separate entrance, pool, and elevator. Other resorts are just catching on to Aria’s details for tech-savvy travelers like in-room tablets through which you can control the room’s features, order takeout from the hotel, and make spa appointments.

Caesars Palace

The massive, six-tower Roman-themed hotel on 85 acres of the Las Vegas Strip was built in the 1960s to make its guests feel like emperors. Like Rome itself, Caesars wasn’t built in a day but continues to expand and revamp, with its Colosseum concert arena, shopping mall (The Forum Shops at Caesars, which has its own Trevi Fountain), a five-acre complex of seven pools, and a huge variety of hotel rooms – including the separate-but-included Nobu Hotel which now occupies one of its towers. Everything here is over the top (remember, we’re in Rome), so don’t miss the 50,000-square-foot spa with its Roman bath theme, the largest buffet in the world Bacchanal), and one of the largest nightclubs in Las Vegas – the four-story Omnia. Go large or stay on a budget: there’s a way to do both here.

The Venetian Resort and Palazzo

Hotels in Las Vegas price dynamically, and a large convention or event can make room rates soar. The Las Vegas Convention Center posts a calendar of its events, and you can check large venues like Allegiant Stadium. Finally, many of the resorts themselves post calendars with their rates.

A massive Palazzo Ducale, complete with Doge’s Palace, sits right on the Strip, with singing gondoliers making their way around a canal system. The Venetian Resort is the second largest hotel in the world and with its sister resort, Palazzo , does indeed feel like the entire city of Venice—minus the pigeons and with a convenient indoor Piazza San Marco lined with restaurants. All the rooms are suites, and among the largest on the Strip, and the frescoed lobbies will temporarily convince you that you are not in Las Vegas. One of its biggest surprises is the massive Canyon Ranch Spa – an entire destination spa resort right in the hotel. Parents will love it because the shop-lined canals of its Grand Canal Shoppes will keep families busy for days, plus it has the best selection of reasonably-priced casual restaurants on the Strip. But you can also treat it as a luxe getaway, lounging at the adults-only Tao Beach pool complex and dining at the many high-end restaurants.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

The Cosmopolitan has been the slightly zany, cooler younger sibling of the Strip’s megaresorts since it opened in 2010. A decidedly cool crowd stays at this cutting-edge art-filled hotel, with its three-story chandelier with three levels of bars and lounges; lobby with streaming LED columns that are constantly changing, a hidden bar and lounge inside a barbershop, and even a ski lodge inspired by the mountains of Hokkaido, Japan that serves izakaya cocktail specials until late. In the summer, theMarquee Dayclub and Nightclub provide round-the-clock fun, and in the winter its Boulevard pool turns into an ice rink.

The Four Seasons Las Vegas

One of the city’s most private pool scenes can be found at Four Seasons , which occupies floors 35 to 39 of Mandalay Bay. Its poolside restaurant, Veranda, looks out over the pool which, unlike most pools on the Strip, doesn’t accommodate non-guests. The non-gaming hotel has its own porte-cochere, lounge, and spa, and because you won’t have to walk through a casino floor to get to your room, is one of the best hotels for business travelers who want a little peace at the end of the day. On the other hand, it has access to all the family fun of Mandalay Bay, like the sand beach at the Mandalay pool complex. It’s also the closest luxury resort within walking distance of the perpetually packed Allegiant Stadium.

NoMad Las Vegas

Las Vegas resorts are renowned for their transporting fake-outs, which is why it’s such a shock to find yourself sitting in a grand library designed by legendary French designer Jacques Garcia whose soaring walls are filled with the actual 25,000-book collection of philanthropist David Rockefeller. It’s the NoMad Library restaurant in the boutique NoMad Las Vegas, and a fine example of what the hotel is all about – whisking you to some imaginary place and time, all on the top four floors of Park MGM. The 239-room boutique is one of the best surprises in Las Vegas, with its own entrance and even its own casino. Its rooms feel like elegant Parisian pieds-a-terre, with their standalone baths and views over the only green space on the Las Vegas Strip. Stay hidden in your private boutique or come down a few floors and join the party that is now Park MGM.

Circa Resort & Casino

The first newly built resort in Downtown in decades, Circa is a glitzy ode to its Glitter Gulch roots – including a fully rehabbed 20-foot-tall neon cowgirl -“Vegas Vickie” – who kicks up her heels right inside the hotel. But the adults-only resort, one of only two in the resort corridor, is better known as a sports fanatic’s paradise and party zone. Its Stadium Swim outdoor pool area faces a 40-foot-high HDTV screen and its three-story amphitheater that seats 1,000 is the largest sportsbook in the world. This is the best base from which to explore the Fremont Street Experience and historic Downtown since it opens right onto Fremont. One of the best new steakhouses in the city is Barry’s Downtown Prime, and its Legacy Club, a partly open-air lounge on its 60th floor, has some of the most dramatic views of the mountains.

Bellagio Resort & Casino

The Lake Como-themed Bellagio was the priciest resort in the world to build when it opened in 1998, ushering in a new demand for luxury in Las Vegas, with its towering verdigris and glass Art Nouveau-inspired Conservatory and Botanical Garden and its nearly nine acres of now-iconic choreographed dancing fountains and 1200 booming water cannons. Over 25 years it has settled into landmark status and is now the very definition of classic Vegas glamour. The best way to enjoy the city’s most iconic free attraction is not from the sidewalk, but from inside one of its lakeside restaurants, like the terrace at Lago by Julian Serrano or Spago, whose tables are nearly on top of the fountains. In the last eight years, Bellagio has renovated all its rooms; most recently, its Spa Tower, which takes design cues from Lake Como and the Alps (think snowy white linens and marble baths and earthy natural tones with punches of bright, lake blue.

Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas

One of the most romantic stays, the non-gaming and non-smoking Waldorf Astoria sits in the art-filled CityCenter complex. Its lobby entrance seems unassuming—until you realize that the actual lobby is the 23rd-floor sky lobby with 17-foot floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping views of the Strip. This hotel is all about personalized service, from the traditional high tea in the 23rd-floor lounge to constantly available personal concierges that wield plenty of power—including in The Shoppes at Crystals, whose private backroom shopping opportunities are legendary. But it’s the hotel’s aquatic deck and two floors devoted to spas and wellness that are the biggest hit with guests who want to trade the scene of the Strip hotels for their own private sanctuary.

Frequently asked questions

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.
• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.
• Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
