Affordable Options For A Summer Vacation in Las Vegas

Are you thinking that you just can’t swing a summer vacation? Las Vegas does not have to be expensive. It can be, but it does not have to be. If you put together the proper itinerary you can spend your day at the pool, walk around the strip at night and get in a quick getaway without spending too much money. Find an Affordable Hotel You don’t need the mega-resort to have a good time in Las Vegas. You need somewhere safe and clean to sleep and Las Vegas has plenty of those. If you are a pool person you will need a decent pool and even the low end spots can take care of that for you.

• Monte Carlo – Affordable and the pool is worth wasting an entire day baking your skin golden brown. The rooms are well above average for the Las Vegas strip for anything that can be considered affordable. The pool features a lazy river and a wave pool as well as a couple of smaller pools. Cheap food options include a food court, The Pub & 800 degrees pizza
• Flamingo Las Vegas – The rooms have recently been renovated and the pool area has a separate family pool and party pool. A food court has plenty of cheap food options and a couple of bars have affordable drink options. Choose Margaritaville or Carlos ‘n Charlie’s for an outdoor patio party experience that does not break the bank.
• The D – Located in Downtown this is for the budget minded visitor who wants to experience Downtown Las Vegas. The rooms have recently been completely revamped along with the entire property. Fremont East is within walking distance and you can experience what the new Downtown Las Vegas is all about. Cheap food surrounds you here and you are always just steps away from drinks specials in this area.

Eat Cheap in Las Vegas You can easily find a few spots with cheap food but it doesn’t hurt to have more options.

• Serendipity 3 – Split something because the portions are huge and you’ll be saving money
• 800 degrees – The pizza at the new spot on the strip is the best deal around and it is very good. You craft your own pie and they pop it into their 800 degree oven. The right amount of char and a lot flavor for a small price. You could also drop into Secret Pizza at Cosmopolitan or Five50 Pizza Bar at ARIA for a slice.
• Bobby’s Burger Palace – Located in front of the Mandarin Oriental inside the CityCenter Complex this is a quality burger for a great price. Bobby Flay does it right and for the right price. You could also head to I Love Burger at the Palazzo Shops or Burger Bar at Mandalay Place.
