Viva Las Vegas

Ok so I have to go ahead and write one of probably many blog posts Ill write about my second favorite place to travel to.... Las Vegas.

We have been fortunate to have traveled to Las Vegas 5 times in the last 2 years. Now we do consider ourselves discount savvy travelers but Ill tell you everytime we go out there we find a way to do it cheaper than the last time. Its almost like a game of lets see how much we can save on this trip. 

Now dont start thinking Im gonna tell you how we successfully win our way through our trip because that has yet to happen (maybe next time). What I really want to do is start by sharing a few of the places that we have found that can save you some money without having to sit at a machine waiting for a drink. 

Getting there 

We have flown 4 times and rode our Harley once.  Our airline of choice is Southwest airlines.

The best day to fly for the best rate is Tuesday. We have a pretty standard airfare we get on a nonstop flight out of Orlando for $199 per person roundtrip. The flight usually leaves around 7am and we get into Vegas around 1030 am PST. Awesome experiences flying with Southwest.  For current airfares from your area visit their website at http://www.southwest.com/

Now onto the fun stuff!

Best Happy Hour 

Ballys Tequila Bar & Grille 

2 dollar Tacos, 2 dollar Margaritas,2 dollar Shots of tequila(Jose Silver) this is one of our favorite places to warm up for the night out while visiting Las Vegas. They have an excellent friendly staff and the service is impeccable. Definitely a must visit. Check them out at

Cheapest ATM on the strip 

Casino Royale 

Ever been in a casino and gone to the atm for more cash ? Do you remember the shock you felt when you saw that the transaction fee was $5.99 ? I sure do. Not to worry though, I have your right in the middle of the strip solution. The Casino Royale.The best atm deal out there yet. $1.00. Yep thats right a buck. They also have $1 bottle beer and yummy frozen drinks as well as a nice food court.

Without a doubt a a necessary survival tool in Las Vegas. http://www.casinoroyalehotel.com/

Ill leave you with that for now. Ill dabble into some of the ways we have gotten rooms comped or heavily discounted next time.
