Little-Known Money Saving Tips for Vegas (that no one talks about) - How to Save Money in Las Vegas

[@alysmalls]

Have you checked out Ellis Island Hotel & Casino? The cheapest table games & 9.99 steak dinner! Here's my review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppuXp6aHjaeqmJI

[@mikehennessy6766]

ellis island is cheap but theres not alot of tables to eat your take out food there. Also the sportbook is a total joke. doesnt even have any chairs. i find the best bang for your buck is luxor

[@scottpowell4223]

yes! love the steak and eggs special at Ellis island! and the $5.00 craps afterwards!

[@stuchaiken]

Ally, Here’s a general tip for Living Social and Groupon. I usually try and call before I go or speak to person there. Tell them you could buy one but prefer to give them the whole price if they match the price. They always say “Yes” because it saves them a lot of money. After the deal gives you 25-60% off, they then have to pay Living Social and Groupon a very hefty fee. These deals are often a loss leader and if you don’t come back, they lost money. This way, the still love you and know that you are helping them too.

[@hannahtownsley4913]

I just subbed. I love how you’re not like those other Vegas bloggers and you’re more outside of the box. Excited to see where this channel goes!!

[@alysmalls]

Hey Hannah, thanks so much, appreciate your support!

[@SpicyFox245]

Just finished our great breakfast at Ocean One! We have been talking about how helpful your Vegas videos are. We’ve been plenty of times before, but it feels great to same some money in a very expensive town! Thank you!

[@alysmalls]

Love it! Glad I could help a bit, hope you're having the best time :)

[@allengilman7266]

Aly, Thank you for some REAL savings tips. I found your video very useful and informative. I have been to Las Vegas about 50 times (returning again this August) and learned many things that I didn't know that will keep more money in my pocket. Who am I kidding by the time I leave there will be no money in my pocket! I love this place!!

[@alysmalls]

I feel the same way! For some reason, I'm never sad about losing money in Vegas lol! But any extra savings helps. The count down is on for August!

[@roddyk9216]

I'm going to Vegas in April and wanted to say thank you for your tips.

[@rodxcastro]

Wow! I currently have a reservation to visit in April and checked the current price for my stay. I saw that it was cheaper and called the hotel and got the price adjusted. A little over $100 dlls saved in 5 minutes! Thank you!!!

[@alysmalls]

So glad to hear! Enjoy your trip ☺️

[@abyss99]

Thanks so much for the tips! The CNF fee and, most importantly, getting any cheaper hotel rates after making the initial reservation when booked directly. I booked 2wks ago for Nov'22 and re-checked the rates today, called the hotel for the newer lower rate, and saved $250 off the total stay! Will rewatch before our trip for a refresher. Thank you!

[@alysmalls]

Whoa that's awesome! Thanks for letting me know it worked for you, November can't come soon enough!

[@PrashantKhanolkarUSA]

Congratulations and Well done on making the best video on KZbin on Vegas Money Saving Tips, I have seen lots of videos but this one is exceptional , thanks for keeping it real . This video is a must watch and can save you hundreds or at least provide you with a much better travel experience to Vegas. Arriving early in the morning , leaving your bags at the bell desk and exploring Vegas literally gives you an extra day without an expensive hotel stay just to sleep in a room.

[@alysmalls]

Thank you Prashant!

[@davidpaul6615]

Excellent vid Aly. Usually I spend 10 nights in Vegas (1fri & 1sat). Restaurant food day after day is bit much so I always get room with a fridge. First day I go to whole foods & buy few salads - fruit - bread - water …. & I bring a small kettle. Always eat out dinner but when I get up in morning or any other time it’s convenient to have quality snacks ! Whole foods is much cheaper than strip food & they have quality items.

[@alysmalls]

Good tips!

[@kcsvantasticvoyages9729]

I do similar and buy food at Fremont casinos. At least that’s less expensive there.

[@tammyellis7645]

Great video...One thing no one ever says is that you should watch prices on drinks in those cheap breakfast places! The drinks (coffee and juice) can cost more than your meal!

[@jicalzad]

Great tips. I also think people need to be realistic when coming to Vegas, as well. I've noticed the prices on everything (**i.e. food, resort fees, shows, etc.) have dramtically gone up in Vegas since at least around 2018-2019. So, for those that have not been to Vegas in over 5 years or so, are in for some serious sticker shock. The only prices that have remained stable are the minimums at the tables and slot machines.

[@electrictroy2010]

EVERY city has increased prices since the pandemic. Even McDonald’s where I used to get $1 McChicken sandwich, but now it’s $3 .

[@misssweetbabee81golden12]

Love Vegas! It’s my husband and I favorite vacation destination. We have been 9 times over the last 3 years and have never paid for a room at the Delano with the Mlife Rewards program. Each trip we are rewarded with 4 more comp nights so we plan our next vacay while we’re there lol. We would love to stay at a nicer hotel but the Delano is 5star when it’s FREE lol. We also love the casino at Mandalay Bay which is convenient.

[@melindagibson8606]

Do you get the comps from playing in the casino? I would rather do this! We are staying at the Tahiti Village this time but have to watch a 2 hr presentation for the free room. We did it 2 years ago and was nice.

[@giuliani3570]

excellent video, thanks. WE are going to Vegas at the end of Sept and I am looking for hidden gems and cheaper eating. When we went in 2017 (last time before that was 2003), it was sticker shock. Vegas was so much better when the Mob controlled everything. You could eat and sleep really cheap.

[@DogGone1953]

Along with bringing my own coffee pot,I bring my stove and oven to cook my own dinner like an Italian mom. Yum 😋

[@JimB16]

Fantastic suggestions! Thank you! We would have saved at least $150 on our last Vegas trip...

[@Mr.DJones]

Thank you for your time and posting. Great information and well edited. And thank you for letting us know it is important to be polite. You're the first to mention this. But of course, you're Canadian. :) Just moved to Henderson for more pickleball, better eating establishments, and warmer weather than Oregon. Thanks again.

Hey Ally! Great video, love how you look out for the visitors/viewers. Especially those making first visits.

[@alysmalls]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@akiljames4266]

We are doing the Kerieg coffee thing this time! Agreed! ☕️

[@giojo01]

"A big ass cup of coffee in the morning before you get dressed like me." 😂😂😂 I felt that so much. I'm the same. Don't talk to me until I have my coffee. Lol Great video.

[@alysmalls]

Hahah I knew I wasn't the only one

[@Lisa-mm8nz]

Our first family trip is coming up in August. Will definitely use your tips because we are also leaving from Canada. Thank you.

[@alysmalls]

Awesome, have fun!

[@lohphat]

There are good instant coffees. No need to carry a machine or add to single use plastic waste. Just use boiling water and grab a pint of half and half at the local CVS or Walgreens and keep it in the mini fridge.

[@newyorkerinvegas]

Great tips! I have definitely been swindled by Alexxa's and Beer Park! lol Will be taking your advice moving forward, thank you! Keep up the great work!

[@alysmalls]

Glad it was helpful!

[@serenababy6358]

I like your style! I'm planning a mother's day trip and we're staying at Paris. Very helpful tips!

[@NBASmacktalk]

Aly your awesome! Pro tip Happy hour specials are great all over Vegas and you can combine that with Yelp check in. Also graveyard food specials at South Point Hotel from 12am to 6am are the best!

[@alysmalls]

Great tips!

[@misacruzader]

The South Point has some of the best deals in Vegas. It's more of a spot for locals, but there's nothing like $1 bowling (:

[@gregs9701]

Great intel, thank you Miss Smalls! We're going in May, we're going in May so these tips will come in handy...

[@paulgianni]

Thank you! These tips are almost as awesome as you are. It'll be my first return to Las Vegas after 35 years and my wife's first trip to America. I now live in North Viet Nam and Las Vegas is an entirely different world. I'm really excieted for my wife's first visit to America.

[@alysmalls]

Wow! I'm excited for you guys, have a great time

[@wayneh8767]

Hi, just discovered your channel 😊. Great tips for sure, the one regarding dicounts at the front desk the day before you leave, so true. We were there talking to one of the girls about something, anyway in our conversation having a good chat all of a sudden she was removing our Resort fees! Thanks! She was really nice.

[@LiamRichie825]

Great video and agree with most everything. I disagree about MyVEGAS, just set to auto-spin and rack up the points. I got BOGO Bellagio buffet for my next trip.

[@NikkiWills11]

How does one set up auto spin?

[@KiKiD9554]

@@NikkiWills11 just hold down the spin button

[@ericdiekmann2308]

I do this everyday I get tons of free shows or admissions, two for one buffets etc.....going there end of the month.

[@mommag3boys25]

Yes. We have a trip coming up staying at Bellagio 4 nights comped from rewards from app. And still have enough rewards for 8 more comped nights.

[@dobees8183]

Ohhhh, so that's what a bell desk is for! Thanks!!

[@KennyStomski]

CVS and Walgreens do have liquor, but they are still overpriced. If you are near center strip, on E Flamingo between Bally's and Cromwell / Flamingo you will find "Stage Door". For an example, a fifth of Smirnoff vodka is ten bucks. They are right across the street at the crosswalk when you walk out of the Bally's food court.

[@alysmalls]

Stage Door is great if you're nearby!

[@taniadablaing1321]

if you have a reusable water bottle, many resort pool areas offer free water for fill ups. Also, even if a hotel offers an in room Coffee maker, do not use it. Its safer to bring your own maker. Hotel room coffee makers are a haven of germs, and there is a reason why when police go into hotel rooms they check the coffee maker very early in there investigations.

[@UNCLECHUDKINZ]

Great video overall but you did say there was a tram that ran from Luxor to Mirage/TI. There are two different trams one that runs from Mandalay to Excalibur and a small tram that connects Mirage to TI, so in reality to get farther up the strip you have to walk quite a bit.

[@alysmalls]

Yep!

I'll take my Vegas Slots anytime. That Canina Place you mention is it really good? What do some of you think? I am not gig on breakfast but always open to try new things. YES about the coffee wish I would of known that. We stayed at Bellagio and walked about a half a mile inside the hotel to get Starbucks which personally think their coffee sucks. I did stay in Signature at MGM which is not on Las Vegas Blvd but a block off of it and they did have a coffee makers in the room. I hit up the maid and she gave me a few extra packs. Great tip about Walgreens and CVS. I don't drink but we did buy quite a few snacks there at least half the price of the convivence store in the hotel or the stocked fridge in the room. Thanks for the Groupon idea. We have used them locally here. Overall many great tips. I have been using Vegas slots for a long time but not so much lately. I have more than enough to go to Vegas several times. Absolutely must see is Fremont. El Cortez is the doe blackjack. I won a ton of money there.
