Gamble on savings in Las Vegas
Las Vegas might not be the first travel destination that comes to mind for saving money,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but here are a few tips for spending smartly next time you go, based on a recent trip. There's some risk in these first two situational suggestions -- because the deals might not materialize -- but rolling the dice shouldn't be new to anyone visiting Vegas.
Upgrade your cheap seat. If you're attending a Vegas show by yourself -- which often happens when you're in town alone on business or killing time while a spouse attends a conference -- buy the cheapest ticket possible. You can then often upgrade to a better seat for free at showtime, just by asking an usher or box-office attendant. Even the busiest shows have a vacant single seat here and there that otherwise would go unfilled.
I bought the cheapest "Jersey Boys" ticket available through the ticket broker Tix4Tonight, which has kiosks all over the Strip. It cost $68 (including fees) for a normally $100 seat in the mezzanine, about 18 rows from the stage. I arrived early at the Paris theater and presented my ticket to an usher in the lobby to ask if there was a better seat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but she beat me to it. "Are you by yourself? she said. "How would you like to be on the main floor?" She cribbed a seat number from a list in her hand and wrote it on my ticket. It was in the ninth row, just to the right of center -- a seat that retails for $150 for one of the hottest shows on the Strip on a Friday night,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I paid $68.
Get a better ride. The Venetian's gondola ride,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with its serenading gondoliers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is a popular romantic diversion for couples. A 10+-minute ride costs $16 a person if you want to share the four-person boat with another couple, or you can pay the whole $64 for you and your partner to have the boat to yourself.
Or you can get there early and pay the lowest price and still have a boat to yourself. When traffic is slow, the gondolas still keep moving as part of "the show," and the Venetian would rather not have an empty boat. opening,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there were only a few couples in line and gondolas queuing. The ticket seller offered us a boat to ourselves for the discounted price of $56 -- a clue that things were slow. We declined the offer, paid the $32 and got a boat to ourselves anyway.
If gambling on deals isn't your thing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], here are two sure things:
Go for the buffet. There are food deals to be found in Vegas (try the any-topping, made to order 12-inch pizza at the MGM Grand's Project Pie for $12), but generally eating is expensive on the Strip. While the cheap buffets that used to be a trademark of the city have largely disappeared, they still might be a better choice than other dining options, for at least one of your daily meals.
Here's why: One day, my wife and I ate lunch at the MGM Grand's Studio Cafe, pitched as a "quick bites" option by the hotel. A BLT, two soups and a soda cost $50,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including tax and tip. Another day for lunch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I grabbed a chicken Philly sandwich and soda at Nathan's in the food court -- $17. With that as the norm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the colossal gourmet lunch buffet at the Bellagio not only had much better and more food -- it's hailed by many as the best spread in Vegas -- but it also was an outstanding relative value at less than $50 for two people, including tip.
Extend your stay. This is a great tip for any city, but it's especially useful in Vegas, where many travelers opt for late-night flights out of the city. checkout on your departure date and finding something to do all day. for free. We took the latter. I probably would have spent more than that on luggage storage and finding things that I didn't really feel well enough to do. Even travelers who don't feel ill would like the convenience of a private room on their last day in town.
