Frugal Fun in Las Vegas

Paris Las Vegas

Paris Las Vegas

Though Las Vegas still remains one of the top spots for high rollers, with upscale boutiques at the Palazzo Las Vegas, a high-stakes poker room at the Bellagio, and $25,000+ a night suites at The Palms Las Vegas, travelers are beginning to discover why Sin City is one of the best locations for a penny-pinching vacation. In these difficult economic times, everyone’s looking for new ways to save and cutting back on expenses. But a vacation doesn’t have to be one of the things you cut out from your budget. This year, try booking a trip to Las Vegas, where you can save on discounted shows and hotel rooms.In Las Vegas, hotel rooms can be found at some of the lowest rates around. Check out Caesars Palace , where you can enjoy special low rates and receive a $40 credit. Or, book a stay at the romantic Paris Las Vegas, where a free upgrade to a Premium View Room is just a phone call or click away. And at the more luxurious Wynn Las Vegas, find unprecedented low rates for a room at this elite, 5-star hotel and casino.

Great entertainment can also be found in Sin City for great deals. From now until March, you can save 30% on Blue Zone seating for Blue Man Group , that mysterious blue threesome performing at the Venetian . You can also save $10 and get a complimentary CD when you see George Wallace at the Flamingo showroom, performing his unique brand of observational humor. In addition, you can find incredible bargains for tickets to amazing Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas spectacles, such as KÀ, O, Believe, and Mystère. You can also see headlining divas Cher  and Bette Midler perform hits from their widely successful careers without having to spend a fortune.

And let’s not forget one of the best pastimes in Las Vegas, dining. Vegas has developed into a foodie city in recent years, with a celebrity chef operating nearly every Las Vegas restaurant in the major hotel and casinos. And though one would expect a fancy meal at one of these eateries to cost a pretty penny, many restaurants are offering exquisite tastes at surprising prices. For example, at L’atelier de Joël Robuchon and Craftsteak at MGM Grand), you can enjoy a multiple-course tasting menu of langoustine fritters, diver scallops, and more for only $75. And at the Palazzo’s Mediterranean hotspot LAVO, theatergoers can take advantage of a great pre-show special – a pre-fixe meal for only $30, available from 5 pm until 8 pm every evening.

Nightclubs aren’t excluded from all the discount mania; you can even purchase an All Access 4 in 1 Pass and save on admission to four incredible Vegas nightclubs: Rain, Ghostbar, Playboy Club, and Moon.

With all the savings to be had, there’s no excuse not to indulge in a Las Vegas vacation this year. And to take full advantage of all the Vegas deals, be sure to book your hotels, score your nightclub passes, and get discount show tickets at BestOfVegas.com .
