I’ve never been to Vegas, but always wanted to go. I don’t really have any desire to gamble, but it just seems like one of those places you have to visit before you die. So, recently I started looking into planning a trip there. I was actually surprised how cheap the whole thing would be. Naturally I started by looking up air fare from my home town. The prices for flights were not bad at all. I guess because I live near a major airport and the fact that there are a lot of flights to Las Vegas, that that is the reason the flights were so cheap.
The real thing that surprised me in my research for the ultimate Las Vegas vacation was how cheap the hotels can be there. You would think that places like the Excalibur or Mirage Hotel would be really expensive. While they do have super expensive rooms, there are also plenty of decently priced rooms. All you have to do to get cheap Las Vegas hotel rooms is do a little research.
I’m interested to know if any of you readers out there have any suggestions on finding deals on the big shows in Vegas? It seems like many f the popular shoes on the strip have ticket prices hat are well over a hundred bucks. Is there any way to get discounted tickets?

There are some ways to save on many of the low and mid -tier shows and occasionally the individual hotels run promotions that include discounts for both high - end shows and dining. There are some coupon sources offering 2 - for - 1 show discounts at the low and mid-tier level. Lately there have been some excellent discounts from the MGM Mirage properties on their selection of Cirque De Soleil shows ( there’s 5 different ones). Check the mgmmirage.com site and search “promotions” at individual hotels for the high- end shows. You can do the same for the Harrah’s Entertainment group in Vegas. Also, you might consider signing up for Vegas promo update e-mail alerts and keep in mind that things change hourly sometimes in Vegas. I can provide more specific info if you can’t find what you’re searching for . Good luck.
Cheers…
