Las Vegas continues to be one of the most affordable destinations in the United States, from most all home cities around the country. Package deals are offered frequently; meals and drinks are less expensive than many other parts of the country; and there are a myriad of things to see and do that don’t cost a dime. You don’t have to be a gambler to love Vegas. Las Vegas has something to offer most any traveler.  Below are just a few ways to make your trip there more affordable:

1. Take advantage of the free attractions

Las Vegas is loaded with free attractions. You can see the nightly water and music presentation at the fountains in front of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. You can venture downtown to Fremont Street for the hourly electronic sound and light display and explore Las Vegas history at the Neon Museum nearby. You can indulge your chocolate craving at the Ethel M Chocolate Factory tour, located just outside of town. Or, you can marvel at the aquatic life on display at the 117,000-gallon aquarium at the Silverton Hotel. These are just a few of the free things to do in Las Vegas.

2. Sign up for the players clubs

Virtually all casinos have players clubs that reward casino players for their loyalty. And, you don’t have to be a high roller to reap the benefits. Even quarter slot players can qualify for free meals and other perks. Of course, it makes sense to concentrate all of your play at one casino to maximize the rewards, just like you do with grocery store reward programs. To sign up, check with the casino customer service desk before you drop that first quarter.

3. Book a package deal

Las Vegas packages abound from almost every region of the country and generally are a better price than if you book your airfare and hotel rooms separately. This is especially true if the package features a chartered flight. Not only are these flights more convenient (they are usually non-stop), but since everyone is headed on vacation, rather than a business meeting, they have a festive, jubilant air. In my part of the country, popular Las Vegas wholesalers include Funjet Vacations and Apple Vacations. Check the Sunday travel section or a travel booking site like Expedia or Orbitz for packages from your home city.

4. Travel mid-week

Las Vegas hotel rates rise dramatically on Saturday night. Arrive on Sunday or Monday and avoid this weekend surcharge. This applies even if you book a package deal. If you book your air and hotel separately, you’ll generally spend a little more on your flight, but you’ll more than make it up with the hotel prices. An added bonus: Vegas is less hectic on weekdays than on the weekend.

5. Get half price show tickets at Tix4tonight

Tix4tonight is to Las Vegas what the TKTS booth is to Times Square. With five locations in and around Las Vegas, this company offers same day tickets for up to 50 percent off of the face value to see revues and name entertainers all over town. They also often offer tickets to popular, otherwise sold out shows. Tix4tonight locations include the Fashion Show Mall, Circus Circus and the Four Queens in downtown Las Vegas.

Extreme Couponing Tip: Never Pay for these Commonly Free Items 

Once converted to Krazy Couponing, you’ll find there are items you’ll probably never pay for again! Read below for what they are and how to cash in.

Trial size it: When coupons do not exclude trial/travel size items, you can usually get them free! Look for the section in your store that has small bins or baskets with trial-sized versions of products priced around $1.00. If your coupon value exceeds the price of the item, the cashier will usually need to adjust the price of the coupon down to meet the product’s cost.

Oral Care: Toothpaste and toothbrushes are free just about every month at the national drugstores (CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens), usually via rewards and coupons. Floss is often free when $1.00/1 coupons come out, as is Nivea lip balm when a sale is paired with a $3.00/2 coupon. Gum and mints are frequently super cheap or free too.

Glucose meters: Often free after rewards or rebates. If you don’t need one, these are great for donating to nursing homes. Keep a lookout for coupons to pair with the sale to make it a moneymaker.

Printer paper: Several times a year, office supply stores like Staples offer free-after-rebate reams of printer paper. As a plus, these rebates are usually done online so there’s no need to mail in UPCs or receipts. Pens are also a good example (such as the Bic $1.00/1 coupon that gets you a free package at Walmart) as are greeting cards.

Bagged salad: One of the most frequently seen produce coupons is for bagged salads. Wait for salads to go on sale and use your coupons to get cheap or free salad. Popular brands are Dole and Fresh Express.

BBQ sauce: When summer rolls around, pair a $1.00/1 coupon with a $1 sale to stock up on free BBQ sauce for the coming months. Mustard and ketchup will also be super cheap around this time.

Personal care: Watch for feminine pads and liners, nail files, mini first aid kits, and single use heat wraps. In the winter, look for free-after-rewards cold medicine; watch for allergy medicine in the spring.

Samples: Not only are these free, they often come with a coupon to use on your next purchase. Favorites include shampoo/conditioner, single serve food (granola bars, cereal, crackers, gum), feminine products, lotion, laundry detergent/fabric softener, artificial sweeteners, and perfume/cologne.

What are your favorite items to get for free?
