OK, so a couple of friends and I are planning a trip to Las Vegas. We are wondering what the liquor laws are like. How late can you buy beer? How late can you buy hard liquor? What are the prices like for buying beer and hard liquor at liquor stores? Also, what are some good places to go drink that aren't too pricey?
We have never been to Vegas before and want to have a good time without spending ridiculous amounts of money. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

It's Las Vegas, booze is available 24/7/365..The best place I have found to buy beer/wine/liquor is "Terrible's Wine & Liquor" at the Orleans they are open 24/7 and will beat any advertised price. Their prices are lower than I can find at home!
Drinks are free when you're playing. If you're a sports nut the best play is the LV Hilton's "Super Book". You can play great video poker(9/6 JOB-99.54%) on nickel or quarter machines, watch sports in the greatest sports book on the planet and drink free.
If you're not into playing you can still drink on the cheap at Slots-A-Fun & Casino Royale they both have $1 bottle beer..
The Buffets at Orleans, Palace Station & Main Street Station all have great food at bargain prices.
"Graveyard Specials" - a time honored tradition in LV - for a full list use this site
http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com >VEGAS INFO >"graveyard specials" >you can also access every LV hotel web site to check rates, etc. //Nightclubs/Bars > restaurants >shows>buffets & more are all listed and are up to date, not months(or years) old like most LV web sites
The Las Vegas Advisor also has a full list of all the "free spectacles" & free hotel shuttles.
The best way to save money on a LV trip is to avoid special events, large conventions and weekends. These drive room rates up. Go at the "right" time and you can stay at 3 star hotels for $25-$39 or 4 stars for $49-$69 - go at the "Wrong" time and the same room in the same hotel will cost 5 to 10 times as much.
May 28th - June 1st has some good rates - The cheapest time of the year to go is in December, after the National Finals Rodeo up until just before New Years > December 9th - 28th this year

compare to the hotels own web site to make sure you're getting the best deal. Then book through the hotel as far in advance of your trip as possible, then keep looking for a better deal up until you leave. If you book through the hotel you can always cancel the reservation when/if you find a bette deal, buy from a wholesale travel site and you're stuck at that price.
If you want to try your hand at some table games with low minimums. The best deal is $1 craps at the Westin Casuarina, they have happy hour on weekdays from 5-10pm >$1 beer and $1 craps < The Westin is a very nice hotel/casino, located 2 blocks East of the strip on Flamingo. Slots-A-Fun & Ellis Island have $1 blackjack at times. Downtown LV or the "locals" casinos are still the place to go for overall low limit play..
Orleans is a great place to play, they have low table minimums, a very nice casino and the hottest cocktail waitresses in all Las Vegas.
Later: You're not going to find lower prices than at Terrible's. First off they guarantee to beat any advertised price, second they are located in the Orleans casino>which means the Orleans uses the place as a loss leader to draw players into the casino, Third there are over 30,000 of us who subscribe to the Las Vegas Advisor, hundreds of whom live in LV, Terrible's is the name you get when it's ask(forums) where to buy liquor/beer/wine.
If you like brew clubs, one I would highly recommend is at Main Street Station, after midnight they have 16oz draws for $1

Las Vegas Drinking Laws

The basic liquor law here is you must be 21 and over. Liquor is sold 24/7 and you can find it plentifully almost anywhere. I also wouldn't recommend drinking and driving or having an open container in the car. Cops frown on that in Vegas. Other than that you should be good to go.

Another great thing about Vegas is that you can drink alcohol on the street. You can totally just walk around with a beer.

Bars never close in Las Vegas. Most local bars have good prices. Stay away from strip bars.
