I just got finished visiting with a friend and told her about my next trip to Las Vegas. She told me she hadn't been there in several years so how much money should she take. That's a good question. The first cost is the plane fare. You're going to find the air tickets less expensive mid-week. So if you go from Wednesday to Wednesday and fly a carrier like Southwest it should be no more than about $250.00, but just like the craps or blackjack tables, the price goes up the closer you get to the weekend. Then you've got your hotel. Depending on the location this could be pretty steep. Try this. Compose an email in word about how much you would like to stay at so and so hotel. Tell them you don't even need a bed because you'll be on the casino floor all the time. Google the email addresses of Las Vegas hotels and copy and paste your email and send it to all the casino's you can. Trust me. I've done this and gotten free rooms or deep discounts on rooms. If that's not up your alley, the cost will average somewhere between $100 to $200 per night. Save money on transportation by using free shuttles and the deuce. The food is reasonable. Especially the breakfast specials. So we're talking about a grand for three days not counting your gambling.....and with good money management down pat, you should have a ball at $500 per day. That's $2500, the cost of a Disney trip, and trust me, they have no mega-jackpots at Disney Land.
Happy Adventuring...Vegas Boy
