Hi there, just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to do Vegas on as little as possible? Don't have much. (But I'm going!) I've never been before, so I won't be able to get comped right? So far, for flights and hotel, I've managed to get it for about £600 ($1000). In a decent hotel, 4*s. Not the Wynn, but still decent. Any ideas? I.e. would it be cheaper to fly to say, cali, and take a bus/taxi to vegas?

Thanks

P.s. Poker tits for your trouble

papajohn56

For booze, just play penny slots all day and get free drinks. Just tip the waitress.

Dont mean to burst your bubble, but you may think that its possible to go on a shoe string budget. Unless you have a mom holding your hand, thats gonna be an impossible task. You will eventually land up using your card and mind you, when the time comes to repay that, you will be making a few calls. Take some extra dough with you. Pamper yourself. Youre not going there every year are you?

ricdes

this pic reminds me of a certain party last year, lol.

and nah, you won't be able to do vegas for that cheap unless you got networks goin all up your ass

Yeah, I'll be spending when I get there. Just wondering how to save on flights+accomodation really

cardine

This'll be my first time at Vegas but I was pretty surprised how cheap Wynn was. I was expecting to spend a lot more than $150/night.

Yeah, I was surprised too when I saw room prices. Over here, that would probably only buy you a room in some cheap bed&breakfast.

Oh yeah, anyone know if there'll be any problems bringing over a few cubans in my suitcase? Not many, probably max 5. Just I know your laws are a bit gay about that.

cardine

Touche.

But does this mean they'll ID me at check-in (even if I were to theoretically never go in the casino)?

I don't remember the last time I wasn't asked for ID when checking into a hotel. If you're staying in a resort room at the Wynn, you have to walk through the casino to get to the elevators. I believe that if you have a tower suite you can almost avoid the degenerates, but not really. If you're concerned about it, it's probably worth checking out some non-casino hotels that will take 18+.

BigWill

They would prly throw you in fed prison or something stupid for that

I wouldn't bring over anything illegal

clockwork84

No, it shouldn't be a problem. The chances are they'll never check your suitcase at the airport. When I have visitors from Europe come they always have a few Cuban cigars with them, and there has only been a problem once; the cigars were confiscated and nothing else. YMMV of course, so don't call me up for bail money please.

Aren't you under 18? Where are you planning to stay?

kk, fair enough, I'll just get cheap cigars over there, or bring over some venezuelan ones or something Cheers.
hmm, kk. I think it'll probably be easier just buying them over there. Cheers though
Yeah, just. Can't remember the name of the place, it's on the strip, but no casino.
Lolwut? Not that young lol, I'm 17
Ohai, I like trolling cause I have nothing better to do. Get lost.
Tooo long! Plus I've already got my ASW ticket

clockwork84

You did contact the hotel prior to booking everything that they will, in fact, allow you to check-in as a minor?

Netphase

Your plane ticket or an actual ASW entrance pass?

-joe-

Nope, fakeid solves everything though

defelice

save your money

GreeLee

Look for the one not quite fuckable cougar w/ the biggest rings. Buy her a few drinks and then marry her at the little white chapel. You should be able to get a few free nights out of that.

-joe-

I'd love it if it were in July or something (apart from the heat) but if I miss out, then it's another year to wait. I'd rather do it now, and be down a bit, than have a little more money and have to wait a year. It sounds awesome.

justo_tx

You're 17 years old, spending the money (yours or your mom's?) to fly from the UK to vegas and then pinning your hopes on using a fake id to get in to casinos and ASW?

el-oh-fucking-el

good luck McLovin

-joe-

Yep, and 100% my money, never been funded by my mum, (other than £10 a week allowance )

And tbh, I'm not that bothered about the casinos. Gambling's 100% legal over here, anyway. I'd like to get in to ASW, but if I don't, there's always the parties.

Sohan

Hope you got a CC that matches your ID

Also you CAN bring cubans in, buy them from the airport. Your not a resident, you'll be fine. I got stopped, searched and they checked etc and let me keep mine because I wasn't a resident. Duty free smokes are super cheap too.

You probably won't be able to check into any hotel yourself if your under 18.

If your adamant on going, use Expedia to do Flight + hotel combo, usually works out mad cheaper than doing either seperate.

Edit: good luck trying to buy smokes at the airport haha, 18+ brah. They might take any smokes off you if you get stopped and 'randomly' searched at the border control though.

I'm going off what border agents told me at JFK, and they didn't take mine off me.

They can't tell the difference between a cuban and a dominican if you don't identify them as such. Just bring over a couple for the trip and not a whole box. I use to bring some back once a week from Juarez when I lived in El Paso.

as far as the clubs, its almost a lock you arent goign to get in unless you have a really good fake id and other documents to back up your fake.

you can do lv for cheap tho. there are cheap bars on the center strip that sell drinks for a buck. you can also play the penny slots and tip your waitress a buck or 2. order drinks on the rocks so they dont water you down or drink beer. for food, you can go to the older cheaper casinos on the north strip or downtown and eat like a king for cheap

efeezy

Remove the cigar bands, pack said Cubans in your checked baggage, smoke till you're green.

Customs ain't going to do a tobacco species analysis on your Cohibas. If you're questioned, just say they're Dominican's.

I've got a debit card, which will match it. And kk.

Hopefully I will, I mean there's no point in them chucking me onto the streets when they could get money out of me. (hopefully) Also, hopefully the Fake ID will work for that, hopefully they're not too stringent on that.

Cheers for the expedia tip, I've just looked, and a decent hotel and flight is £540, not bad

Yeah, I think maybe bringing them from home might be the better option if I do bring them.

Kk, sweet, I may do, I'm becoming tempted
Kk. I have a debit card, that might work as a back up?

And kk, sweet, cheers for the tips
Hmm, kk, I'm definitely tempted!

Btw, what does everyone think of the Riviera? I checked, and it's only $69 per night over 4 nights.

trickykid

Isn't that a definition of importing with the intent to sell?

I believe if they see you have 3 or 4 personal ones, it woulnt be a problem.

Wanna do vegas cheap, OLD VEGAS BABY! I would love to make a trip down there, and get a whole craps table to my self with $2 minimum bets!

pocketrockets

If you want the cheapest room on the strip and just want a place to crash in the middle of the action then check out the Imperial Palace

You can almost always get a room for <$90 on the weekend (weekdays is like $49)

Treasure Island and the Flamingo Go rooms are also decent choices for a cheap place in the middle of the strip where you can walk to the Wynn without needing a cab.

cheapest way to do vegas?

Check out the Four Queens they have $29.00 rooms. Every rooms got a flatscreen TV and theyre pretty nice. It is on Fremont ST, which is the old vegas strip.. so you're gonna have to take a Taxi to the main strip for shows and shit, but hell - you're saving a bunch of money on reservations.. and hell, Fremont ST is pretty fun.

The western-most five blocks of Fremont Street are covered by a 90-foot high, barrel-vaulted canopy, housing 12.5 LED display units. Every hour beginning at dusk and lasting under after midnight, the canopy erupts in light and sound. It’s one of the most popular attractions in Las Vegas…and it’s free.

crackp0t

I love the Fremont Street Experience I take the kids down there at least once a month.

1. you're 17, you'll get busted for having tobacco

2. you're carrying contraband, and it'd get picked up in airport scanners.

good luck bros

Good luck with a fake id in vegas. Only way it'll pass is if its a REAL ID of a friend that looks almost identical to you.

kingofsp

There are no laws against tobacco possession in Nevada. Don't know about the legalities involved with treasonous Cuban cigars, though.

I second and third that, although to be completely accurate Fremont Street is located in downtown Las Vegas, not the Strip. If you want to do things really, really cheaply there's a bus that goes from d/t all the way up the Strip. I was in LV last January for Affiliate Summit, and stayed at the Sahara which is on the Strip (just barely). I used airline miles for my hotel stay.

The weather was really cold and there were buckets of rain, so if you're coming from the UK this is really not going to be a weather break in the sunshine for you.

Last year at the Rio was a bit rough for those of us not driving because it was so far off the Strip. The new location is definitely a plus.

I won't be going to LV this year (although shooting for ad Tech SF in April). Have fun with your hookers and blow.

I forgot to add that most hotels charge extra for WiFi access, so if you rely on connectivity for your work, WiFi will be an extra expense. I connected at the Starbucks across the street from the Sahara on Paradise Avenue, and the big McDonald's on Las Vegas Boulevard had free WiFi as well (I think it was by the Riviera).

There are very few free amenities in Las Vegas, unfortunately.

When you're under 18 there's laws against tobacco possession.

Expedia hotel + flight works out cheaper than flight alone, so for him to go to a cheap hotel directly will end up costing more.

Oh btw, your real id - hows your DOB read? America does MM//DD/YYYY so you might come out as 18
