Ideas on doing Las Vegas on the cheap
Our tips:
If you can go to a grocery store at the start of your trip to grab water and snacks to avoid paying hotel fees for them! High protein healthy snacks will help.
If your hotel room can make hot water consider instant things like oatmeal for breakfast.
Consider if your hotel has laundry - you might be able to wash clothes instead of paying to check a bag. I suggest bringing your own laundry pod or strip from home to save that markup!
Make friends before the event and find a room-mate to split costs with!
I personally have done meal replacement shakes for breakfast and / or lunch so I had money to splurge on for dinner.
Take a look and sign up for Vendor events at night to try and get free drinks and dinner.
Consider volunteering. Sometimes volunteers get free entry and sometimes free hotel rooms and sometimes free food during the event!
