Travel Las Vegas On A Budget. Part 5

So you got drunk for pretty much the cost of 4 or 5 Red Bulls, not a bad effort, give yourself a pat on the back. I can honestly say this with 100% conviction, no exaggeration at all, a friend of mine who comes every year when we go, doesn’t have a budget. He would spend probably close to $7000-$10,000 of his Las Vegas vacation, shouting people drinks, including himself of course, at the nightclubs. Insane, yes, he’s insane. What a pointless repetitive cycle he gets into every year we go.

What’s the point in getting drunk playing slots you ask, just to save some money? Well, i figured you’d ask that, so here goes. Every casino in Las Vegas and i mean EVERY casino, has a lobby bar and Casino bar. Just walk the floors and you’ll see central bars located near the gaming tables everywhere, in every casino. Why go to a club and spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars, if you can afford it that’s great, but chances are, you’re reading a “Las Vegas on a budget” article and you can’t!

These bars are awesome. People come and go all day and all evening. Whether they’re killing time in between going out for the evening, or just having a break from the tables, you’ll meet them. Gorgeous women in groups congregate at these bars. Buy this stage, you’re already filled up with alcohol and full of bravado and charm. You’ll only need a couple of drinks to top up. So stay near the slot machines and walk to a machine as you see a cocktail bar waitress in the vicinity and pretend you’re about to play and order another drink. $1 tip and you’ve just saved another $12-15, guaranteed. Does this ploy work, yes it works, all the time. The waitresses don’t care, you’re tipping them.

Back to the bar you go, hovering around people you’ve met, resuming the conversation after excusing yourself for “having a little flutter at the tables”. Great way to meet women at these bars, just be careful, usually littered with prostitutes, as all casinos are in Las Vegas. So make sure you qualify who you’re taking back to the room. If you’re not paying attention it could cost you $50 just to get her to the room of your door, even if you knock her back for sex. The only thing you’re going to blow, is your budget, further! 😉

If you’re smart you can beat Las Vegas and have a great time, for very little money comparatively to other locations you’d expect to be cheaper. Las Vegas on a budget can be a lot of fun. I travel there at least two times  a year from Australia and just love the place.  Poker, good food, cheap drinks, cheap hotels, gorgeous women, who could ask for more!

Always shop for the best deals. The budget extends to finding the best deals before you arrive too. I always compare hotel rates and airline rates, using sites like www.tophotelbargains.com  , who do all the searching for you and give you rates sourced from the biggest names in the industry, it doesn’t get any better. 2015, life is so much easier online these days, they do all the work for you. I’ll touch on dating in my next blog. Single guys, great tips on getting dates sitting in your hotel room before bed. All within the budget, avoiding those show pony night club women who’ll just bleed you dry. This applies to ladies too, I’ll share the secrets to dating safely and all without blowing the holiday budget.

Until next time, happy traveling folks. Number 6 “Room Raker” out soon, stay tuned 🙂
