You mean there are a lot of places where they let you stay for free, feed you for free and give you all the booze you can drink, all for free? And, you get to take their money home as well?

A thought to consider - if you want points, every casino has the "key card" to get your them. You establish a credit account.
They do a credit check on your, and they have your credit report.
Everyone knows what you owe, and every credit card you have, because when your name pops up for casino ID, they instantly have tons of information about you.
That is their "COMP" PROGRAM, and every casino has one.
If that is what you want, you will get just that.
No thanks, no comp program with my credit report advertised to anyone in any casino for me!
But if you want to have fun: Read on -
There are many deals at expedia.com and travelocity.com
lasvegas.com
There are casinos everywhere - so don't feel you have to lose all of your money at one location.
There are roller coasters on top of tall buildings.
There are white tigers on the first floor side area of the Mirage.
There are outside shows at Treasure Island.
Gambling:
There are many where you can lose $50 without even trying, then win $10, then win another $50.
It's easy to lose $100+ a day minimum, so if you're smart
you'll back away if you lose $20 - and try your luck another time, or another day.
Best location, and I stayed there January 2006, was the Mirage and it's next to Treasure Island, across from Venetian Grand canal, and down the street are Bellagio and the Eiffel tower.
You can walk everywhere, or take the bus when your feet get tired (very cheap).
Don't forget to lunch at the Eiffel tower - pricey but great, great food, and across from the fantastic Bellagio fountains that have themes - yes dancing fountains w/music when you're outside to hear.
Lunch also at the revolving restaurant -where you can see all of Vegas during the day - THE STRATOSPHER. The food was magnificent and you can see if you go at lunchtime - where the people of Las Vegas live and the mountains that surround it.
Las Vegas - I saw Jay Leno and he was non-stop for 1 & 1/2 hours of jokes, and we got the last 2 seats in the far section, and it was still somewhat close because the entertainment area was well done!
We went to see Mystere show - and the best is called "O" which means water in French. The stage actually opens for people to dive into, and then closes for people to walk on it.
So amazing.
At the end of 7 days, I was ready to come home. It's exciting, but not enough to say, wow someday I'd consider living there.
GOD bless us one and all, always.

Over all it can be expensive to visit but there are also alot of inexpensive places to stay and cheap things to do. It is best to look on travel sites and ask locals or people who go there often for their advice. Vegas is all about making money and the high prices is a very good example of that. But if you do some research you can get some good deals and often hotels will have some good cupon books to look at for deals.

It's not. Think of Vegas as a resort town where people go to game, swim, play golf, watch shows and just be a part of it... You can get cheap reservations for the main hotels if you look. And eating isn't expensive at all. They want you to spend your money on things other than your stay, right?

it depends on where you stay and when you stay. my bf got us a hotel at the tropacana over valentines for $39 a night. and i got us a hotel last week at the mgm for $69 a night. but this week the consumer electronic show is there, and at MGM the price skyrocketed to something like $250 a night because there is a higer demand for the rooms.
its just like anywhere and if you dont stay on the strip you can get them even cheaper

Because the mob is gone and comps and hospitality left with them. These corporate *ssholes are screwing people on all angles. $20+ for buffets? $100+ for shows? $100+ for rooms? $25 minimum tables? This place as gone mad. They used to use those items to draw people in. $3 buffet and you stay to spend the rest of your money on slots. No more. They get you on all ends now!

Look around for deals, you will find them. Also if you gamble, play mostly at one place (or places if owned by the same company) and use the cards!! Then you will get unbeatable deals.

You are looking in the wrong places. I never pay more than 45.00 a night in Vegas.
