So, my husband's birthday is next week and we have been planning for the last 2 months for his 30th birthday-- in Vegas!!! We LOVE to travel, but don't love to come home broke. Here's how we scored a fun trip, for less moolah and hopefully more money to spend at the tables!!! - Hotel & Airfare
We booked through Vegas.com and scored a great package! We actually bought Vegas.com gift cards at Costco.com. Each $100 giftcard was only $79.99 (a 20% savings!), online and shipping included. I did some calculations and figured out how many giftcards I would need. We also scored $50 food and beverage credit and up to $50 baggage reimbursement. Our trip ended up costing us $320 (for hotel and airfare) per person!!! And-- we're on the strip!!! - Meals
Meals in Vegas aren't cheap, like they used to be. A few of the sites we used included:
* Restaurant.com- be sure to search promo codes to help lower the cost of coupons
* Living Social
* Groupon
* Visiticket - Shows
We bought more Vegas.com giftcards for shows. The service fees are pretty steep, but we had a little money left over on a card and a promo code for Vegas.com, so it pretty much took care of the fees.
Now, if we can just get lucky with some good hands, virgin rollers, and loose slots, we can afford to come back soon!!!
Wish us luck!!!
Amy! Love the new blog! Come check mine out too at www.whathappensatnaptime.blogspot.com (mostly recipes and crafts). We are going to Vegas in September and got some great deals too. www.bestfares.com has great promos - we got 3 nights on the Strip and airfare for $630 total the both of us. Also, if you sign up for the Cirque du Soleil e-mail list, you can get tickets for $50 each instead of $165. That's right - two tickets to Ka for $100 instead of $330 and we're 6th row! Looking forward to seeing more posts. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristen, for the kind words! You don't know this but I already read your blog - I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the tips about Cirque du Soleil - we arent going to any of their shows, so now I dont have to feel bad about missing a good deal. :-)
