Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 10. 2021
- Many people come to Las Vegas wondering how much money they should bring, how can they save money on flights, hotel bookings, food, show tickets, transportation (bus, uber, lyft, taxi, shuttle, etc) and really just want to get the best value for their dollar. In this video I will give you 10 tips, plus a couple bonus pieces of advice, as well as three cash back apps to help you save money before and during your Las Vegas trip.
These are great options for those looking to do Las Vegas on the cheap who don't care about an expensive dinner at a fancy restaurant, paying high cover charges just to get into nightclubs on the strip, and would rather take advantage of the free and low cost entertainment options in Sin City. Fortunately there are plenty of attractions and things to do in Las Vegas that do not have to hurt your wallet! There are also cheap eats, restaurants, food and drink deals, etc. These travel tips can apply to your vacation whether you're spending most of your time on Las Vegas Blvd. or downtown on Fremont St. They will work for singles doing solo travel, couples, large groups, small groups, bachelor and bachelorette parties, as well as families traveling with kids (small children, teenagers or adults under 21).

Tip #11: Come to Vegas in December, the best time to come to Vegas.
Solid tips. My biggest ones are to always get your water and snacks at target, CVS, ABC stores. And to take an hour to research happy hour specials
Given that Target and ABC are on the Strip, there’s no excuse not to go to either location.
ABC also has excellent Vegas shirts and hoodies.
Yup can get beers two for 5 at ABC on the strip
Was there last week - stayed at Linq - took bus & monorail from/ to airport. Total cost $20!
DO NOT BE FOOLED FOLKS... Ocean Grill is super cheap but it's actually REALLY GOOD food!! My wife intentionally hits this spot EVERY year on our annual Vegas trips.
Very true 👍 good food very fair prices
Good to know! What part of town?
Hit the one in Delray beach
Great to hear!!! Definitely tryin it out
One thing I learned is to take a walk to the Showcase Mall to have a meal. It's like half the price of a comparable hotel restaurant.
Ellis Island for cheap beers, drinks and excellent food. Stage Door for $1.00 beers.
Casino Royale for $3.00 bottles and $5.00 drafts.
Solid tips. Thanks
We LOVE Suncoast Hotel and Casino...from Ohio, we only go there and Aliante 4-6 times a year...enjoy the locals vibe away from the strip..have interacted with so many locals and learned so much about areas off strip...love your vids...
Always good to see the options available for Vegas trips. It's all about fun and enjoying yourself.
Wow, excellent information you provided Jacob! I will definitely take advantage of some of them. Thank You.
Duece bus is the best tip imo, it has saved my ass on Vegas trips. Worth it. Also its good entertainment if you like people watching.
Love this! Hard to do depending on what type of room or airbnb one stays at, but a huge savings on food is groceries instead of restaurants. Cardenas is an amazing Mexican grocery that has the best snacks, pre-seasoned meats to cook, and they even cook amazing food right there in store!!
Lots of great info. Another idea, which I plan to take advantage of in 3 weeks, is to explore 'happy hour' specials in many restaurants and drinking establishments. This can sometimes stretch that ever shrinking dollar, a little bit further. Keep up the great work
Plan on drinking yourself stupid? Laying out in the gutter? Sounds like grand Ole time.
I lived there for 8 years Jacob. In Sonoma Co (wine country) CA for 11 years now. Love what you are doing here on your channel. Awesome reporting! Great tips for those wanting to VAC there. The big issue for those wanting to move thee is the water situation and that is dire. No quick fix for that. Anyway, enjoy your tips and keep up with Jacob's channel. He's the real deal.....no Vegas BS for sure. Love ya guy!!!
Thanks Jake!
One of the problems with the Strip buses is crowding. Sometimes standing room only. Plus the buses stop at every casino for people to get on and off. This makes for very slow travel at times. It can take an hour to travel the 5 miles to Downtown if crowded and with traffic jams on the Strip.
Walgreens and CVS also have ready made cold sandwiches for a quick snack.
Everytime I ride the Deuce it seems like there is a fight. A lot of lowlife degenerates ride the bus. I know it is more expensive but I would rather do the monorail or just take an Uber.
I normally try to take care of everything before getting to Vegas but that airport one is a gem. Also check with your employer to see if you get any discounts for travel that will help too. Groupon helps too.
Literally watching this hours before my flight to vegas 😂 appreciate the tips for saving money for my 21st 👀🥵
Great info, thank you. I'm planning a trip for next year and it's been a part time job because I am trying to semi budget it in ways!
Thanks Jacob. Will for sure use some of your tips
You're welcome Erwin!
You're awesome! I am impressed with how knowledgeable and helpful you are! Thanks so much, I feel more confident about visiting LA! :D
Great tips for next March 👍👍
We'd stay in Henderson @ Sunset Station using our comp room offers & take rental car & park free @ Tropicana & walk or park free on other side of strip & walk. Also we'd stay in Laughlin at Aquarius comped rooms and drive to Vegas so never paid for rooms which saved $$$ and be extra funds to gamble with. Nice tips...thanks for sharing. 😃
Loving these videos, you are very good. Excellent and informative. Would love to take my wife to Las Vegas one day
we definitely want to go to las vegas soon. thinking thanksgiving week!
Love ur videos keep bvb up the good work what I do before I go to my hotel I stop by Walmart buy beer snacks candy and all comes out cheaper
Thanks 4 tips. Coming for 3rd and final time this summer.
You got it!
Honey is great! I save so much money EVERYWHERE. Brilliant suggestion,
Thanks for sharing... We'll be there on Sunday!
You're welcome!
Good info. Thanks, Jacob 👍
You're welcome SD!
Lots of views incoming. People loves these type of videos.
@Sixty_one _60 why not
Also can grab some reasonable snacks at the ABC downtown. Man, I remember when there wasn’t a drugstore to be seen ANYWHERE convenient in Vegas….that has certainly changed!!.
Back in 2004 there was one really small Walgreens near the Carnaval Court that was almost as expensive as the Hotel gift shops :)
ABC!
Thanks Jacob I can use them when I come to Vegas.
You're welcome Vincent!
Great job! Excellent tips.
Thanks Timothy!
Fantastic video, thanks man
De nada!
I have always stayed at Harrahs,as it is centrally located on the Strip.
But I also suggest to spend time in some of the off-Strip properties
like Red Rock Casino.
But the biggest bugbear is,of course,resort fees.
Thanks you so so much Jacob
Great video!! Although you did mention pre gaming on one of those sugar filled yard stick drinks. That sounds horrible 😂😂
LOL. Some people love them!
Excellent video...thanks.
De nada!
Very informative!
🙂
Thanks for the tips as always.. always surprises me when vloggers talk about cheap drinks that no one seems to mention blondies bar at PH.
We stayed there and it was great, I think it was $3 a pint or pay $10 upfront and it’s $1 per drink or pay $20 upfront and drink for free :-))))
Upfront? Free? Hmm lol.
We love your best burrito drive-threw video! We ate there it was epic! God bless you! P.S. could you start doing livestreams? My brother Chicago Kong says that would be a good time! 😀
Thank you Joe! I'm glad the food good! I'll keep doing live streams from time to time to mix things up. Thank you for the support!
I always hit this channel to get updates on Vegas. Haven’t been out since last March and had a hard time getting a cab to the airport. What’s the cab situation like out there now. Has it improved or is it still spotty. I’ll be headed back out in a few days.
I usual get a locals pass for The RTC. Go to local grocery store and make use liberal use of local connections.
If you want to save another $3 on The Deuce bus board on any street except Las Vegas Blvd. The bus stops are just off the Strip on any cross street (Flamingo, Tropicana, Sahara, Charleston). A 24 hour pass is $5 instead of $8.
Thanks Jacob...
I mainly do Vegas during the week.
Showing off the right bicep 💪😁
The Pinball Hall of Fame near the Las Vegas sign is very affordable.
Since you touched upon the airport you should have mentioned the shuttle services that offer round trip rides to hotels for really low prices, way cheaper than cabs. Plus shuttle service certain properties offer for getting around the strip.
Which ones? Last time I was at the airport 2 weeks ago a staff member told me RTC to the strip was $8 and shuttles started at $15.
Shuttle round trip is $15?
I used to $8. Used atleast 2 different services, thought that was average. On other hand that was years before the coof.
Thanks for the tips Jacob ! The outlets are really great as well ! Especially for us international shoppers ! (Yes even after the exchange rate)
Coming from Canada, everything seems so cheap at the outlets. Usually we save enough shopping to pay for our trip.
Definitely gonna pick up those guides at the airport.
They're helpful 😉
Use your pockets.
i wanna add that you can leverage credit cards to reduce your expenses.
the chase world of hyatt card gives discoverist status. status match that to mlife pearl and get free parking at mgm properties. the barclays wyndham card lets you do the same with caesars.
i also noticed that the barclays wyndham business card grants wyndham diamond status. status match that with caesars, and supposedly you don't need to pay resort fees at caesars properties either. i haven't tried this myself, but pairing this with free parking and cheap weekday stays sounds like a way to really cut costs.
A big one also to save some money is bringing food and drink with you. The TSA has a list of items you can and can not bring on a flight and a good amount of food and drinks are acceptable. 9/10 times the food at your local grocery store is cheaper than Vegas.
Las Vegas has grocery stores too. You don't need to pack 10 bags of groceries into your luggage.
I'll be leaving for LV in about 26 hours. Nothing better than a fresh vid from Jacob to pick up some last minute tips. :-)
Flamingo is a solid property for people on a budget
Solid tips. Booze is getting expensive.
Thanks for the gun show at the beginning! intentional? regardless, it's nice to see you unshaven!
I did the 20 dollar trick and it worked at Luxor
About the CATS buses…I consider myself a seasoned travel, very accustomed to using public transportation. But I gotta tell ya…I have landed up in some interesting neighborhoods (NOTE: not bad or dangerous!) when using CATS, simply because the routes can be confusing - especially if transferring is part of the ride. And sometimes - particularly on the weekends - buses simply never show up. I waited 2 hours for a bus one Sunday morning about 10 am…I think going south on Maryland..and no bus ever appeared. Finally walked to my destination….Not happy that day…wasted a lot of precious gambling time! So, just sayin’……
Viva Las Arepas, Tacos El Gordo two great places on Las Vegas Blvd.
Excellent 👌🏾 😎💫🇺🇸👈🏾💻
Thanks man!
FYI - 2023 Sahara does not price match. As people have recently noticed, Vegas has gotten way more expensive. So money saving tips are always good.
I'm going for a concert (otherwise Vegas isn't my vibe) so I am unfortunately facing the double whammy -weekend AND sold out event.
In my experience the deuce bus was not worth it. It took well over an hour to make it to Fremont. I figured since I was there in the middle of the week and in the off season it would be fine, I was very wrong.
100k subs by nye we know know you can do it!!!!!
Ok Rusty from
Vegas vacation
my Vegas slots gets honey moon couple two nights free, rooms with 20 dollar trick at mandalay bay, and the Mirage nabbs 59 floor suite at mandalay ,suite at Mirage also 20 trick works sweet ,with free slot game rooms thats how its done!!!!!!! oct 3rd during the week
also resort fees were waved totaly free rooms fees just for 20 bucks!!!! each
If you buy ticket on side street, 24 hour pass is only $5 (say on Tropicana by NYNY)
Great video... any recommendations were to see the Super Bowl with out paying the high prices?
Thank you Lopez. The casino bars will have it on, but you'll likely be standing the entire time
At home on your TV😊
Hey Jacob, where have you been? I am taking My Sister in December. So looking forward to getting away and enjoying Vegas
Hey Lance!! Enjoy that trip!
Circus circus is cheap too.. but beware of the elevators
quick question if i book the hang out withh you and we decide to do stuff that cost money do you expect people to pay for you?
Going to Vegas for the first time is it weird for wanting to do Vegas on the cheap my first time there? My friends shame me for not going all out and .spending a ton of money
My vegas slots!! Staying at Luxor free 2 nights
Nice!
Sadly, we probably won’t be back there again till mask mandate indoors is gone! But I do agree, we always stay during the week when room rate is cheaper and less people, the better😀! Thank you, Jacob, you are awesome!
Us too! No masking at home so don't want to do it on vacation!
I wouldn’t come if there isn’t a mask mandate. A mask is the only way to stop Covid spread. Sadly, we’re going to stick to camping till this shit is done. Not afraid of Covid, you probably don’t have any friends in health care. I can tell some of my friends are still scared from what they have seen.
Just wear a mask …not a big deal
@@jimmysgrl 👊👊👊!
@@tboy8169 Yes it is. It’s claustrophobic, makes it hard to hear ppl talk, hot, sweaty, uncomfortable and ruins makeup. So glad masking is done.
the best free action in vegas is Albertsons on east charleston next to freemont street around 8-30 pm on a full moon night plus its REAL. dont do it alone. lots of real action and sirens etc. plenty of opportunities for viral videos.
We’re you just out walking in great sweats, black sweatshirt, and a grey beanie? On Las Vegas Blvd?
I go to play the slots and to have fun.
Hi r15 will u marry me
the best free show in Vegas was the pirate show at Treasure Island, but sadly it is no more. Now the best free show in Vegas are the Bellagio fountains and also maybe the Atlantis show at Caesars...wait is the Atlantis show still going on?
As of summer 2022 yes it still is.

So you need to show your players club card for lunch or drinks at Ocean Grill?
No. The lunch special is everyday, and no card is required. They are not affiliated with the casino.
Daaaam saaan what was your ad kick on this vid!
I'm staying in MGM grand in December. Got 3 nights free at grand tower room by playing my Konami slots . Also $50 food and beverage and $30 free play. I played slots on there and earned points to get free play and discounts at mgm properties. That's how I got the 3 nights free.
Note: the resort fee may still be charged. I will try to convince them to waive it when I reserve the rooms. I was able to for the strat stay last Time I was in Vegas.
Hidden fees: parking fees. pearl tier rewards member, fee is waived for self parking. Valet parking is charged around 30 bucks per day, minus tip. I will use that on my first day because I heard it was a long walk from the parking garage to the rooms. Best to use that service with a bell hop if you have lots of luggage.
Thank you for sharing your experience Chuck!
I'll be there in 30 days....
ENJOY DAVID!
the only problem with the 3 drinks for $10 in Ocean One is that they say you cannot share the drinks.
At 3 for $10.00 why would you need to share, most of the cocktails aren’t that big anyway.
@Sixty_one _60 if you are not going to be in there that long one drink may be enough
Do you have anything to say about using the buses for sight seeing?
It's a pretty good alternative. Riding the Deuce is a way to see a lot in a short time without the price of an actual tour bus
@@JacobslifeinVegas thx for info. One more thing, finding the Deuce is available from McCarren Airport??
you need a shave! head for the sprinklers! LOL!
😅
It's called Ocean One Bar and Grille not Ocean Grill. Also it's no longer $4.99 it went up a dollar to $5.99 and the 3 for 1 cocktails went up $2 from $10 to $12 but regardless this vid is very educational on budget traveling in Vegas it just needs to be updated.
Got my excalibur room for 12.50 per night pre taxes and fees
Nice! On a weekday during the holidays?
@@JacobslifeinVegas 2nd week in November

The casinos will actually give you money if you politely ask for it.
✌️🙏🙏

11. Come to Reno/Tahoe instead. Best value for the dollar. And here's my challenge to all Jacob's followers. I challenge y'all to list things that you can do in Las Vegas that you can't also do in Reno/Tahoe
Reno is for old people. Last time I went there I thought I was at a Civil War reunion. It looked like the Lawrence Welk Show.
@@MafiaKingfishNOLA lol. Yeah, like LV has no old people. Everybody at Celine Dion is like 21.
Yeah, right there is nobody in an rv from John day Oregon searching town for diabetic candy
Challenge accepted!
Cannot be in Paris, and then 10 minutes later be in Tuscany or ancient Egypt. Or a castle.
There’s no Haifbrau House in Reno, no Double Down Saloon, no Stage Door etc:
Though there is good food to be found in Reno, it can’t even remotely compare to the food options in Vegas.
No strat tower in Reno, no Bellagio Fountains, Mirage Volcano, Eiffel Tower, etc:
And again though there are various shows and entertainment options in Reno, they are not comparable to Vegas.
Reno has nothing like the Circa Pool or Sportsbook, or even the Westgate Sportsbook.
The canopy show on Fremont, yep nothing like that in Reno. I could go on for quite awhile, but I think I made my point.
@@TRMV but you're not really in Europe are you? We have cheesy themed casinos too.
And can you ski on the strip.
Or can you be on one of the most beautiful alpine lakes in the world. We have plenty of great restaurants including German restaurants. Sorry but your analogies don't stick. It's kinda like you're saying being at a Long John Silvers Restaurant is like being in the Bahamas
@@philmakris8507 umm you asked a question and it was answered, because you cannot understand the answer, is irrelevant. Your original question didn't mention things you can do in Reno, it asked what can be done in Vegas that can't be done there, asked and answered, again your failure to accept the answers is irrelevant.
Carnival Court is THE place to be ! Great bands and bartenders 🍺🍹🎸
Price match? Honey works for rooms? The last 15 purchases did not do anything. Live video at the Las Vegas sign. Free. Go in the week. Also in December. No one goes in December. WAY cheaper rooms. Avoid week ends . Wallgreens? Really? No cans or bottles on the FSE. Use a plastic cup that is supplied in the casinos. Mob Museum: start on the 3rd floor. Discounts can be found. ATM fees can be brutal. Use the room safe to stash your $$! I found that sodas were less than the rip-off gift shop, including your players card discount.

Cheapest time around Dec 10-20. After National Finals Rodeo.
Jacob, I usually do Vegas Sun-Fri. once or twice a year and do it very economically but I refuse to go with Wuhan virus mandates. Please reply when masks and/or vaccine passports are gone.
Me too. I can wait.
Those weird girls came up to me and asked if I would like to take a picture with them and that I could pay them whatever I want. Huh? Who are they? If I at least knew oh it's an actress from my favorite tv show or something...
What sort of free people do they give away at that store? Are they just ugly ones no one else wants?
1st
The Flamingo is a dump...and its not a cheap dump...
I stayed at Flamingo and liked it alot...booked for $25+$25 resort fee
It's a room, in a good location, on the Strip. It's definitely not luxury but if you don't plan on spending a ton of time in your room it's not too bad. If you want luxury, go across the street to Caesar's or the Bellagio.
@@MafiaKingfishNOLA I liked my room alot too it was a pretty high floor 31 ...had really nice big pink flamingo birds ...the pool was great too had a waterfall floats and a big flat screen TV
@@MafiaKingfishNOLA Is not standing in line for an hour and a half for check in"luxury?" Is expecting the carpet to be attached to the floor "luxury?" Is having your shuttle pull up to the front door "luxury?" Is wifi without pop up porn ads "luxury?" The Flamingo is a DUMP!!
@@diggermacleod6079 actually you can check in via phone or kiosk, the shuttles stop at the main entrance, and my room was perfectly fine, and clean. perhaps your definition of a dump differs from mine.
