Tip #11: Come to Vegas in December, the best time to come to Vegas.

[@RemyNewlander]

@@shaft5 Why do you say December is best?

[@matthewmaggio6278]

Solid tips. My biggest ones are to always get your water and snacks at target, CVS, ABC stores. And to take an hour to research happy hour specials

[@adzisme]

Given that Target and ABC are on the Strip, there’s no excuse not to go to either location. ABC also has excellent Vegas shirts and hoodies.

[@louisbutson6107]

Yup can get beers two for 5 at ABC on the strip

[@SmifLaly]

DO NOT BE FOOLED FOLKS... Ocean Grill is super cheap but it's actually REALLY GOOD food!! My wife intentionally hits this spot EVERY year on our annual Vegas trips.

[@user-ix3yh8yt7r]

Very true 👍 good food very fair prices

[@tgabe6163]

Good to know! What part of town?

[@nigelsookram882]

Hit the one in Delray beach

[@joshtaylor8304]

Great to hear!!! Definitely tryin it out

[@tech1238]

Thanks for the tip

[@roiijamez33]

Was there last week - stayed at Linq - took bus & monorail from/ to airport. Total cost $20!

[@TRMV]

Ellis Island for cheap beers, drinks and excellent food. Stage Door for $1.00 beers. Casino Royale for $3.00 bottles and $5.00 drafts.

[@CentristDad155]

Solid tips. Thanks

[@kens.527]

One thing I learned is to take a walk to the Showcase Mall to have a meal. It's like half the price of a comparable hotel restaurant.

[@snowbelt]

We LOVE Suncoast Hotel and Casino...from Ohio, we only go there and Aliante 4-6 times a year...enjoy the locals vibe away from the strip..have interacted with so many locals and learned so much about areas off strip...love your vids...

[@Dominator701]

Duece bus is the best tip imo, it has saved my ass on Vegas trips. Worth it. Also its good entertainment if you like people watching.

[@ziggy2shus624]

One of the problems with the Strip buses is crowding. Sometimes standing room only. Plus the buses stop at every casino for people to get on and off. This makes for very slow travel at times. It can take an hour to travel the 5 miles to Downtown if crowded and with traffic jams on the Strip. Walgreens and CVS also have ready made cold sandwiches for a quick snack.

[@DixiePokerAce]

Everytime I ride the Deuce it seems like there is a fight. A lot of lowlife degenerates ride the bus. I know it is more expensive but I would rather do the monorail or just take an Uber.

[@JoeRuizLordoftheRings]

We love your best burrito drive-threw video! We ate there it was epic! God bless you! P.S. could you start doing livestreams? My brother Chicago Kong says that would be a good time! 😀

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thank you Joe! I'm glad the food good! I'll keep doing live streams from time to time to mix things up. Thank you for the support!

[@user-tm9fq1bs7k]

Always good to see the options available for Vegas trips. It's all about fun and enjoying yourself.

[@boitoiful]

I lived there for 8 years Jacob. In Sonoma Co (wine country) CA for 11 years now. Love what you are doing here on your channel. Awesome reporting! Great tips for those wanting to VAC there. The big issue for those wanting to move thee is the water situation and that is dire. No quick fix for that. Anyway, enjoy your tips and keep up with Jacob's channel. He's the real deal.....no Vegas BS for sure. Love ya guy!!!

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thanks Jake!

[@robertbabich1083]

Lots of great info. Another idea, which I plan to take advantage of in 3 weeks, is to explore 'happy hour' specials in many restaurants and drinking establishments. This can sometimes stretch that ever shrinking dollar, a little bit further. Keep up the great work

[@Mdmc9738]

Plan on drinking yourself stupid? Laying out in the gutter? Sounds like grand Ole time.

[@jamisondorsett5268]

Love this! Hard to do depending on what type of room or airbnb one stays at, but a huge savings on food is groceries instead of restaurants. Cardenas is an amazing Mexican grocery that has the best snacks, pre-seasoned meats to cook, and they even cook amazing food right there in store!!

[@kouvue1081]

Lots of views incoming. People loves these type of videos.

[@michael2k3d48]

@Sixty_one _60 why not

[@sdmbassist]

If you want to save another $3 on The Deuce bus board on any street except Las Vegas Blvd. The bus stops are just off the Strip on any cross street (Flamingo, Tropicana, Sahara, Charleston). A 24 hour pass is $5 instead of $8.

[@BlackStallion85]

I normally try to take care of everything before getting to Vegas but that airport one is a gem. Also check with your employer to see if you get any discounts for travel that will help too. Groupon helps too.

[@kosekdemel]

Wow, excellent information you provided Jacob! I will definitely take advantage of some of them. Thank You.

[@SpockBorg5]

Since you touched upon the airport you should have mentioned the shuttle services that offer round trip rides to hotels for really low prices, way cheaper than cabs. Plus shuttle service certain properties offer for getting around the strip.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Which ones? Last time I was at the airport 2 weeks ago a staff member told me RTC to the strip was $8 and shuttles started at $15.

[@SpockBorg5]

Shuttle round trip is $15? I used to $8. Used atleast 2 different services, thought that was average. On other hand that was years before the coof.

[@alan55super]

Literally watching this hours before my flight to vegas 😂 appreciate the tips for saving money for my 21st 👀🥵

[@claudiamiller7730]

Also can grab some reasonable snacks at the ABC downtown. Man, I remember when there wasn’t a drugstore to be seen ANYWHERE convenient in Vegas….that has certainly changed!!.

[@Veaseify]

Back in 2004 there was one really small Walgreens near the Carnaval Court that was almost as expensive as the Hotel gift shops :)

[@ddd228]

ABC!

[@williamroberts8768]

The Pinball Hall of Fame near the Las Vegas sign is very affordable.

[@lebutzki]

A big one also to save some money is bringing food and drink with you. The TSA has a list of items you can and can not bring on a flight and a good amount of food and drinks are acceptable. 9/10 times the food at your local grocery store is cheaper than Vegas.

[@sexygeek8996]

Las Vegas has grocery stores too. You don't need to pack 10 bags of groceries into your luggage.

[@DEATHSTARER]

I have always stayed at Harrahs,as it is centrally located on the Strip. But I also suggest to spend time in some of the off-Strip properties like Red Rock Casino. But the biggest bugbear is,of course,resort fees.

[@Ltlantnee]

Honey is great! I save so much money EVERYWHERE. Brilliant suggestion,

We'd stay in Henderson @ Sunset Station using our comp room offers & take rental car & park free @ Tropicana & walk or park free on other side of strip & walk. Also we'd stay in Laughlin at Aquarius comped rooms and drive to Vegas so never paid for rooms which saved $$$ and be extra funds to gamble with. Nice tips...thanks for sharing. 😃

[@aaronc6997]

i wanna add that you can leverage credit cards to reduce your expenses. the chase world of hyatt card gives discoverist status. status match that to mlife pearl and get free parking at mgm properties. the barclays wyndham card lets you do the same with caesars. i also noticed that the barclays wyndham business card grants wyndham diamond status. status match that with caesars, and supposedly you don't need to pay resort fees at caesars properties either. i haven't tried this myself, but pairing this with free parking and cheap weekday stays sounds like a way to really cut costs.

[@stuartpritchard7999]

Thanks for the tips as always.. always surprises me when vloggers talk about cheap drinks that no one seems to mention blondies bar at PH. We stayed there and it was great, I think it was $3 a pint or pay $10 upfront and it’s $1 per drink or pay $20 upfront and drink for free :-))))

[@claudiamiller7730]

About the CATS buses…I consider myself a seasoned travel, very accustomed to using public transportation. But I gotta tell ya…I have landed up in some interesting neighborhoods (NOTE: not bad or dangerous!) when using CATS, simply because the routes can be confusing - especially if transferring is part of the ride. And sometimes - particularly on the weekends - buses simply never show up. I waited 2 hours for a bus one Sunday morning about 10 am…I think going south on Maryland..and no bus ever appeared. Finally walked to my destination….Not happy that day…wasted a lot of precious gambling time! So, just sayin’……

I played slots on there and earned points to get free play and discounts at mgm properties. That's how I got the 3 nights free. Note: the resort fee may still be charged. I will try to convince them to waive it when I reserve the rooms. I was able to for the strat stay last Time I was in Vegas. Hidden fees: parking fees. pearl tier rewards member, fee is waived for self parking. Valet parking is charged around 30 bucks per day, minus tip. I will use that on my first day because I heard it was a long walk from the parking garage to the rooms. Best to use that service with a bell hop if you have lots of luggage.

[@DixiePokerAce]

Reno is for old people. Last time I went there I thought I was at a Civil War reunion. It looked like the Lawrence Welk Show.

[@philmakris8507]

[@TRMV]

Challenge accepted! Cannot be in Paris, and then 10 minutes later be in Tuscany or ancient Egypt. Or a castle. There’s no Haifbrau House in Reno, no Double Down Saloon, no Stage Door etc: Though there is good food to be found in Reno, it can’t even remotely compare to the food options in Vegas. No strat tower in Reno, no Bellagio Fountains, Mirage Volcano, Eiffel Tower, etc: And again though there are various shows and entertainment options in Reno, they are not comparable to Vegas. Reno has nothing like the Circa Pool or Sportsbook, or even the Westgate Sportsbook. The canopy show on Fremont, yep nothing like that in Reno. I could go on for quite awhile, but I think I made my point.
