Cheapest Rideshare
Vegas is massive and you might not realize how far it is from one casino to the next. There are times when you can take a Tram and other times where you need to use rideshare.
There’s an app called anyride that compares Uber and Lyft and gives you the cheapest ride. Don’t take a cab if you are on a budget. Use this app to compare the cheapest rideshare.
Off The Strip
The farther off the strip you go, the cheaper you’ll probably find things. You will still have to pay for transportation costs though so you’ll need to compare the value and determine it’s value.
Free Activities

Check Groupon and Ebates
There are Groupons for items like the High Roller at the Linq. Ebates also offers cash back even on top of Groupon.
Book With The Hotel
It’s probably more expensive but if you are gambling you may get your stay comped when gambling. Do most of your gambling at the same brand of hotels such as MGM or Caesars. You must get the loyalty reward Program. Be sure it’s the first thing you do after checking in or apply online if it’s available. Get 2 cards if you can as it’s easy to forget them at the machine.
Loyalty Reward Program
When you gamble using your loyalty reward cards at hotels, your gambling is tracked. The more you play, the more comps you can earn. The money tracked is your coin in, not your loss. So you can win or lose and still earn free comps.
Before you check out, call down and ask for comps. The couple in this video said they barely played at the hotel they stayed at and got $20 in comps just for asking and being members of the rewards program.
