Going to Vegas with the girls- only for two and a half days- we are not going to any shows, no fancy dinners, no trinkets, no fancy clubs and I don't drink much. My girls plan to drink but I'm the designated babysitter- basically we plan on walking up and down the strip to see all the free stuff to scout for a honeymoon trip for one of the girls? Can I live within my budget?
(I should point out that both the airfare and hotel are already paid for)

I guess I should add the gambling is out- none of us have an interest- I know we sound boring- but like I said- they plan on partying while I volunteered to be the babysitter-I owe them as they usually baby sit me!

Hi I'm with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
You're coming to Las Vegas, and you are NOT going to gamble, drink, shop, go to a club or restaurant, or see a show? . There is a little known law on the books in Clark County.
rule 6969 - anyone and everyone(over the age of 18 or 21 depending upon the sin) must take part in at least one decadent or immoral act(your choice) while in Clark County.
You ladies make the Amish and an order of Buddhist monks look like the wild bunch, I'm afraid you're going to have to stay home.
This has only happened one other time, in 1957 we had to run Debbie Reynolds out of town. When she started chasing men, drinking and bought a casino we let her back in of course.

A few hints to make it cheaper for you. If you eat later in the morning, you can have brunch at a buffet and have both breakfast and lunch at the same time. They have some inexpensive all you can eats. There are some travel brochures you can pick up at the airport that have a list of the free events all over the city, and there are plenty. A lot of the hotels have free shows you can see. Bellagio's fountains, Treasure Island's pirate ship are must sees. You can buy a bottle of wine and keep that in the room too, have a couple drinks there before you go out. Bring some snacks with you from home and have in the room too. I have a little travel cooler I take with me and bring sandwiches and chips. Idea for a wedding present for your friend: have all the bridesmaids/friends chip in and get them a gift certificate for one of the Grand Canyon trips. Worth every penny.

Get a cheaper cell plan, or just a land line. That's way too much to pay. Don't use credit cards except emergencies. Also be careful about debit fees. That can be even higher than credit card interest if you use debit a lot. Keep in mind that you will also have to pay a deposit, not just rent to move in. If you don't have landlord history, you may also be required to pay additional deposit and/or last month's rent up front as well. For 1 person, $250/month is enough for food. Just don't buy junk or eat out a lot.

$250 will be fine, provided you don't sit down at a table. In that case, bring $1,000 cash or a couple ATM cards 'cause you are gonna need 'em. Two dinners per person will set you back $50-150. This assumes you are very careful about the wine, drinks, etc. Sadly, Vegas is not the bargain it once was.

It might be enough, but to be safe, you should bring an extra $50 just in case. Anything could happen, and you might need extra money on hand. You might even see something you fancy or decide that maybe you do want a dinner. Always prepare for the future.

$250 is more than enough. It doesn't sound like you are going to do much though. Why don't you visit Hoover Dam and Death Valley while you are there?
