Las Vegas vacations can stir the imagination. You can play at the casinos, relax at a spa or go hiking in the nearby mountains. However, if you are finding you need to budget your trip or keep it cheap, you need to have a plan. Here's how to plan a cheap vacation to Las Vegas
Start planning at least four months before going. This will give you time to get the Las Vegas information you need to make some decisions on where to stay and what to do at a discount. Plus, planning early gives you plenty of time to change your mind.
Take your Las Vegas Vacation during off-peak times of the year. You can find the best deals for your vacation during the summer heat, from June to September.
Start looking for Las Vegas discounts and coupons online, at travel sites like Expedia and Orbitz. Check the airlines for package deals that include a flight and hotel. Not only will this save you time, it will save you cash.If you find a good deal, you might pay half of what you normally would.
Consider taking some free tours when you arrive in the Las Vegas area. Life in Las Vegas is interesting and so are the freebies. There are free tours at the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory, the Neon Museum and the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History.
Plan to spend an afternoon doing nothing but walking and people-watching in Las Vegas. It's an entertaining way to get some exercise. The casinos are huge and full of visually entertaining opportunities. You will see a little something of everything and it won't cost you a dime!
Look for hotels off the strip, which are are less expensive than those right on it. Don't forget, almost every hotel has a shuttle, so you can get anywhere, no matter where you stay.
