Welcome to shanelovesvegas.com, your one-stop shop for saving money on your Las Vegas vacation!

Las Vegas is known as the “City of Sin,” but it doesn’t have to be a city of financial ruin. With a little planning, you can have an amazing Las Vegas vacation without breaking the bank.

This blog is full of tips and tricks on how to save money on everything from flights and hotels to entertainment and food. I’ve been visiting and (sometimes) living in Las Vegas for over 15 years, and I’ve learned a thing or two about how to get the most out of your vacation without spending a fortune.

Here are a few of my favorite tips:

Book your flights and hotels in advance, and use Black Friday sales. The earlier you book, the better deals you’ll find. There are also a number of websites that offer special deals on Las Vegas flights and hotels, such as Expedia, Kayak, and Priceline.

Stay off the Strip. The Strip is the most popular tourist area in Las Vegas, but it’s also the most expensive. If you’re looking to save money, consider staying off the Strip. There are a number of great hotels and casinos located just a short drive from the Strip, such as Palms Place, the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino, and the Palace Station Hotel and Casino.

Take advantage of free activities. There are a number of free activities to enjoy in Las Vegas, such as the Bellagio Fountains, the Fremont Street Experience, and Lake of Dreams at the Wynn. You can also check out the many free shows and concerts that are offered throughout the city.

Eat at off-Strip restaurants. The restaurants on the Strip are notoriously expensive. If you’re looking to save money on food, head off the Strip. There are a number of restaurants located just a short drive from the Strip, such as Village Pub and Cafe (at Ellis Island) In-N-Out Burger, Shake Shack, and Chick-fil-A.

Drink at off-Strip bars. The bars on the Strip are also notoriously expensive (but there is Happy Hour!). If you’re looking to save money on drinks, head off the Strip. There are a number of great bars located just a short distance, such as Dive Bar, Frankie’s Tiki Room, The Griffin, Hogs and Heifers, Atomic, and Commonwealth.

These are just a few of the many tips and tricks that I share on my blog. If you’re looking to save money on your Las Vegas vacation, be sure to check out shanelovesvegas.com!

even more tips to help you save money on your Las Vegas vacation:

Avoid gambling. Gambling is the biggest expense for most Las Vegas visitors. If you’re not careful, you can easily lose a lot of money at the casinos. If you do gamble, be sure to set a budget and stick to it. Divide your money into daily envelopes to keep in your room safe perhaps. 

Eat at buffets. Buffets are a great way to save money on food in Las Vegas. Many buffets offer a wide variety of food for a reasonable price.

Drink and Eat at happy hour and reverse happy hour. Happy hour is a great way to save money on drinks in Las Vegas. Many bars offer discounted drinks and food during happy hour.

Take advantage of free events. There are a number of free events that take place in Las Vegas throughout the year. Be sure to check out the calendar of events before you go on your vacation.
