Las Vegas has become increasingly expensive, but there are still several ways to save money during your visit. Here are proven money-saving strategies that most tourists don't know about.

Smart Room Booking Book the cheapest room at your preferred resort through their website's "deals & offers" section. Upon arrival, politely ask about paid upgrades, which are typically cheaper than booking a better room initially.

Strategic Timing Avoid major events and conventions like CES or National Finals Rodeo, when room rates spike due to high demand.

Save on Drinks and Snacks

• Shop at Strip-located Walgreens or CVS stores for substantial savings
• Avoid using the mini-bar fridge (MGM properties charge $50 for personal items)
• Use ice buckets for cooling drinks
• Consider bringing a portable coffee maker to avoid $10 resort coffee

Transportation and Connectivity

• Use the Deuce bus service ($8/day or $20/3 days) instead of expensive ride-shares
• Connect only two devices to hotel Wi-Fi (use phone hotspot for additional devices)

Dining and Entertainment

• Take advantage of happy hour specials
• Check Yelp for check-in offers and discounts
• Watch for and challenge CNF (concession and franchise) fees
• Purchase show tickets last-minute on StubHub for better deals

Free Entertainment Visit the Wynn's "Lake of Dreams" water show from the North Terrace on the second floor (shows run every 30 minutes from 7 PM).

Casino Benefits Before checkout, speak with a casino host about potential gambling-related discounts or fee waivers if you've played during your stay.
