How to Eat Cheaper in Vegas

In the past, it was a cinch to eat cheaply - if not for free - in Vegas. Desperate to get gamblers in, they lured customers in with cheap eats. These dining deals are fewer and further in between these days, but there are still ways to go easy on your wallet when it comes to eating in Vegas.
