Winter and holiday breaks are the peak travel time for Las Vegas and its year-around sunshine. Book during the off-season to save money and beat the crowds. The off-season includes July through September because of the extreme desert heat. Typically, Las Vegas hotels and casinos reduce guest room rates during this time months to increase occupancy and entice travelers to come. A five-star luxurious hotel might be in your price range during these times.
Las Vegas is famous for its entertainment and shows. Some entertainment options can be expensive, but there also is a lot of free entertainment. Fremont Street Experience has a light show every night. The Bellagio has an outdoor water fountain show with music in the evening. The Mirage has an erupting volcano at the front entrance. Treasure Island recreates a pirate ship attack. Catch beads at the hourly Mardi Gras parade in the Rio. All of these activities are free.
Look for money-saving food and show coupons in the newspaper, tourist magazines, or in free coupon books at the Las Vegas airport and your hotel. Look on casino or restaurant websites; some coupons or specials are only online. Coupons are for your use, so use them. They offer deals and savings, and sometimes you can use them more than once to make your money go further.
