Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Money
  • Hotel accommodations

    Before planning a vacation to Las Vegas, you will need to set aside enough money to do the things you plan on doing. While you can find some cheap deals on food or accommodations, most everything will be a little pricey if you are looking for a nice hotel to stay in and wanting to eat on something other than the buffet table downtown. Set aside money for activities like shopping, cab or bus fares, dining, spa treatments, excursions to Red Rock Canyon or even just to sit at a gaming table.

    Next, check the travel websites to get a great deal on accommodations or flights. Many sites offer trip packages, which can save money on hotels that are more expensive, as well as saving you from the hassle of needing to make separate arrangements. You generally do not need a car in Las Vegas, since there are many cabs and even a bus that runs up and down the Strip called the Deuce.

  3. Step 3
    Shows at the Venetian

    Check out different shows on the Strip. Cirque Du Soleil, comedy shows, major entertainers and magic shows are just some of the entertaining venues Las Vegas has to offer. In Las Vegas, there is a show for everyone to enjoy and often times on the Strip there are people offering coupons to see these shows. You can also find discounted tickets on the internet, which save money and the time from needing to stand in the box office line. Buying show tickets ahead of time is also a good idea, since many of these shows are sold out on a nightly basis.

  4. Step 4
    Spa at the Four Seasons Las Vegas

    Visit a spa for a relaxing treatment. Many hotels on the strip have luxurious spas that offer a multitude of treatments and specialties. While these treatments may be a little more pricey than the ones at home, the quality of ingredients is much higher as well as the level of pampering.

    Finally, what trip to Las Vegas is complete without checking out one of the hot spots or nightclubs? Vegas is home to some of the best clubs in the United States, with famous DJ's and even celebrities attending these venues. Cover charges are almost always required, so come prepared. Also, a dress code is usually strictly enforced, so come in appropriate attire to prevent being turned away.

Tips & Warnings
  • Come prepared to spend money.
  • Visit Vegas in off-peak travel times as it is always alive in Vegas, but prices may be cheaper.
  • Alcohol is consumed everywhere in Vegas, but don't let it get out of control.
  • Be aware of your surroundings.
