How much money do you spend per pay in Las Vegas?

[@robinbrook5624]

I do $200 a day plus room and have a blast.

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

My room is 50$ a day with resort fees . Eating is the biggest expense I am a 2 sandwich person .

[@Littlething41]

I'm a new subscriber and I'm watching all these videos and taking notes because my husband and I want to come next year so we're trying to save up. I want to EAT! 😂

[@CommandoMaster]

2 for $7 even drinking both by yourself is still a good deal. Remember there’s ppl that spend over $100 on drinks in a club that don’t even have girls in them.

[@fenner1122]

💯

[@everon727]

I'll be drinking them by myself ✋️. I would just past Walhburger bar place. I thought drinks would be expensive cause of name.

[@stevekratochvil3034]

$2 for a hot dog AND a tap of Pabst at the Downtown Grand's hot dog cart from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

[@williamhiland4378]

Great job making that $20 last! You also presented so many cost effective options! I had two trips to Vegas earlier this year and spent about $300 for 3.5 days. That's food, gambling, and gas.

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

I see youu! Def streyched that 3 hundo!

[@Helena-wu6sr]

Thank you for answering back. You take the time to answer everyone back. That's really special. Take care. I appreciate you for all your videos. Thank you. Helena

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Thank you Helena

[@ericrodriguez1877]

For me personally, my favorite part of Vegas is hunting down the best deals on food and drinks. These days it's very evident the old "cheap" Vegas is dead and gone for the most part. I typically allow myself $100 a day to gamble, but I'm very careful about how I spend it and usually only spend about $60. Then the last day I'll "ball out" with the left-over money from the previous days. I love the footlong from Casino Royale btw! 🍺

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

I got kind of nauseous after eating that foot-long hotdog and yes Las Vegas is never going to be the cheap place anymore

[@LifeNkuwait123]

I had a 50 dollar food credit at the Excalibur. I definitely made it last all 4nights I was there🤙🏾

[@ALVAROT91]

I try to bring at least more than $500 for a week and even then im still careful with how much i spent.

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Smart man!

[@agentjoe1890]

Jorge love your productions but $20 could not get me past the Strip Starbucks in the morning. Keep up the great work

[@eplourde4634]

Last time I was there, we went to Circus Circus and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the free circus show there. Another free and fun activity for the budget tourist!

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

[@joshilan23]

Me too!

[@yellow88si]

I bring $2K for my week long trips from Houston. I budget $200 a day for my personal expenses NOT including buffets, shows and food for me and the wife. If I get close to running out I "punish" myself by ending up at Casion Royal for super cheap craps and roulette 🤣Most of the time I surprisingly end up back at the hotel with what I started the day or at least a little pocket change to start the next day. I end up back home in Texas with like $1500 still in my stash. Makes me want to go back EVERY SINGLE TIME. Vegas strip doesn't have to be super expensive to be fun if you know all the little tips and tricks to save here and there.

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Damn bro, you gotta teach me the ways on how to make money in the casino

[@verseessential]

I just came back from Vegas and your video on the legacy rooftop club was DEAD ON. It was BEAUTIFUL.

Hats off to you George, great find on the Wynn lake of dreams. Great place for photos, not crowded.

[@j_delay4691]

@Vegas-Must-Try yes that was very useful - I remember those Casino Royale hot dogs being somewhere under $2 in 2011 as well hahahaha, the bar used to also do $1 margaritas, but they were a bit weak from memory

Awesome tips in here about the free pools & I love the bar recommendations. Thanks!

[@inthegreatwide]

Where is the Wahlburger satellite bar? I cannot find it on the map, only their actual restaurant locations, and their website doesn't say anything about an all day happy hour so I'm wondering if that's not a thing anymore or they just don't advertise it online.

YESSIR

[@Bluboy30]

Man, $20 won't even cover one of my meals in Vegas. Lol! But if someone can do things with only $20, then power to them. For me, I typically bring quite a bit of $$$ when I'm in Vegas.

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Yeah man same!

[@MH_6160]

Same here, I am on vacation… Not there to go budget hunt the cheapest this and that. I want the best experience possible.

[@Lazer-yi6qg]

I think that about $250-300 per day is the perfect amount. It’s enough money to have fun and drink/gamble/get experiences but it’s also cheap enough that most people can afford it for a two or three day trip. I’m going December 29-Jan 1st. So 4 full days and 3 nights and $1200 is what I’m bringing cash to have fun with. If I start saving rn I only need to put away $15 every day which is really not much.

[@Bluboy30]

@@Lazer-yi6qg Good for you man. I typically spend around $200-300 on one of my meals, unless we go off the Strip, then it costs a bit less when we go to dinner.

I'm so glad that he was honest about the fact that he didn't show tipping because he would have run out of money real fast with tipping. I wouldn't even try Las Vegas for less than $400 a day

Spending $400 per day in Vegas is CRAZYYYY 😅

[@Littlething41]

Yeah for a couple celebrating an anniversary I'm saving now for next August. I want to eat and enjoy ourselves! 😂

[@vincegallegos1999]

I agree want to have one good meal $100 or more I want to go to a show $100 want a couple beers and a fat Tuesday $100 even a pool party in the summer cost $100 Gambling $100 is not a lot goes fast

[@duhnonymous1857]

Did the Pinball and its fun and brings back memories!!!!

[@Fuff63]

Enjoyed this, very helpful. Thx I bet that doing the Lake of dreams while shrooming, also is cheap and likely hilarious entertainment.

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Well that sounds like a blast haha

[@iandrayer6029]

I budget myself as $250/day in Vegas, roughly $40/day for food and beverages, $100 for a show and $110 of gambling losses. I'm also super happy to be immersed in the comfy seats of the sportsbooks, Aria's is one of the best quiet hangout sportsbooks but the Westgate Superbook just can't be beat from a size, screens and seating perspective. I've somehow had good fortune on my gambling where I usually leave Vegas only down ~$50/day after all expenses other than hotel.

[@Beatle_D.]

Heading to Vegas in a week and you nailed all my favorite cheap drink stops on the strip. The 2 for $7 at Wahlburgers is a steal. I recommend a vodka and pineapple next time you're there. You can thank me later. I usually bring about $300 a day for gambling and drinks and let the credit card handle my meals. Don't have to worry about that until I get back home lol

[@jackmeeellleee4896]

Seems like knowing where the cheap stuff is would be very helpful not to mention knowing how to get around town there. Fun and pleasant video, greetings from Aarhus and thanks.

[@GameEsthetics]

You and Travel Ruby should collab! Love both of your channels

[@tonyabennett2500]

I been there 4 times this year and i allow 2 thousand dollars a day All my food and hotels are free ( no fees) .But i love to gamble ... if i didnt gamble i could easily go on 100-200 a day for a week . $1,000 total with airfare .

[@Kac2rhyme2]

Hey u made it work. I will be down there next week and will have like 250 a day to 300. So should be good then and we hiking for part of one of the days

[@ListenLinda_127]

In November when I go to Vegas again I’m going to the lake of dreams at the Wynn have never been, pinball hall of fame have never been, and I want to try ocean one also have never been. Hopefully bump into you George. Yeah $300 a day sounds pretty normal for what I take at least. Thanks for being awesome George and filming fun -entertaining video.

[@ADubiiousTask]

Pretty good for a break day or something . Something everyone visiting should do at least once . Cortez has the flight offer that started off my trip nice with free drink freeplay slots

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Yes, getting to the El Cortez straight after landing. I hear they have a deal, but is it true that you can only use it once?

[@RAJ-oj7ut]

Hi, great video, loved it, thanks for taking the time and making it. Where did you parked between stops ? Is there free parking available? I am renting a car. Thanks

[@Littlething41]

New subscriber! Planning to go to Vegas in 2024. Can you do a video on how to make the most out of a one day car rental to Hoover Dam and other off Strip activities?

[@user-kc8ss6um4h]

Cool video it was very informative. Personally I love the foot long hotdogs 🌭 at Casino Royale, l can get one with relish, ketchup, mustard and a 20 oz drink for $8.00.

[@SA-sf2cq]

I think it depends on what you’re going to do. If you’re not a big gambler or clubber, you can have a great time by budgeting $75 per day. I usually bring snacks for breakfast and try to cheap out in the mornings lol. So many great cheap food options like in the cosmo, miracle mile shops, etc.

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Snacks is a boss move

[@etblok9359]

"to be completely frank..." While eating a hot dog 😂😂😂

[@ednd301]

Ellisnisland just off the strip is a great value or of course Freemont hit up the Walgreens or ABC get the 2 for 7 tall cans and walk around Freemont listening to the bands always a great time

[@artn4052]

[@stevespittler8414]

Great video

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Thanks!

[@Sunshine-np8gq]

For each day I budget about $50 for food $25 to $30 for dinner $12 to $15 for lunch for breakfast $0-$8. For drinks I drink water I wasn’t able to get a free drink in any place I gambled so I give up on that I buy a soda with lunch. I spend about the equivalent of $25 a day for shows and about $60 to $200 for gambling less if I see a show. Or if I am walking around. I spend as little as I can to get around so about $ to $150 to $300 or less a day.

[@markeidt6404]

Excellent video on how to see a lot of Vegas without spending a fortune. I use to allow myself $200 @ day in prior visits for both eating and gambling. Unfortunately with the rise in minimum table limits on the strip I will either have to revise that or head down to Fremont street where the limits are more reasonable. Even then I will require a lot bigger wallet to gamble. Keep up the great work.

Just exploring different ways to get from Mandalay Bay to the Bellagio. The tram is really cool, you should’ve shown it. There is the new stadium. There’s just new architecture and art along the way in the area and the cosmopolitan all have works of art scattered throughout. it’s a really fun exploration. go to the chandelier bar. Don’t buy a drink I mean I like to buy a drink there but if you’re on a budget 20 bucks is going to gone with one drink.

You can get exceptional meals on and off the strip for $20-50 per day. However, now and then you have to bust a 100+ for the superior steak. That being said, I got a great tender, tasty ribeye at Jackson Grill for $20, 19 oz.

60 steak at herbs and rye
