Smart people who visit Las Vegas are careful with their money. There may not be another place on earth where your cash can get away from you more quickly than in Sin City, so it’s wise to try to make sure you are getting the best deal you can. Getting discounts can actually be quite easy if you know where to look, and coupons distributed throughout the city can be like free money if you use them correctly.
Hotel discounts
This is one of the few cities where paying a hotel’s “rack rate” is almost never necessary. If you just turn up and ask for a room or if you call their toll-free number most hotels will quote you the highest price they can with the hopes you’ll pay it. But at the same time the hotel business in Las Vegas is ultra-competitive so only on the busiest weekends and convention weeks will you have to settle for this price. And as long as you are a bit flexible you should be able to find a better hotel rate at a similar place if you search around a bit.
One of the easiest ways to get a good discount on a hotel is check our Las Vegas Deals page. We keep the best hotel+airfare deals we can find updated on that page, and we put hotel deals at the top as well. Some of the better deals are for weeknight stays, but with a bit of advanced notice you can find great discounts for weekends too.
Often you’ll not only get a discounted room rate, but also coupons for show or dinner discounts, free drinks, and other tempting offers. You do have to look around to find these special deals, but we’ll try to keep as many on the Las Vegas Deals page as we can find.
Coupons
When you check into your hotel you’ll likely be given a coupon book. Look carefully at the coupons inside because many of them are really valuable and will be for things you’d be doing anyway. There might be a coupon for 10% off any t-shirt at the hotel’s overpriced gift shop, but there will also usually be a coupon for $5 off the buffet at your hotel or sometimes the hotels nearby. The hotels often give out coupons for free drinks of a big discount at one of their restaurants. They obviously want to get you in the door so you’ll spend even more money, but in Las Vegas many people make a sport out of using these coupons without falling into the trap, so there is no shame in redeeming one and then moving on.
For people who love these sorts of coupon books, you can also find them in other parts of the city. Check any stand-alone gift shop on the Strip or Downtown, and chances are they’ll have at least a few different coupon books that are free for the taking. You might get a free drink at a hotel bar, a discounted car rental, or a free pull on an oversized slot machine. Especially if lady luck hasn’t been too kind to you early in your trip, getting and using these coupon books can be a great way to stretch your money and have a bit of fun in the process.
