If you’re considering a trip to Las Vegas, travel experts agree it’s best to allocate a predetermined amount of money for gambling. When the money goes, it goes. This is good advice. However, even if you don’t gamble, there’s no shortage of ways to spend money in Las Vegas. Here are some tips that can help you save hundreds of dollars the next time you visit Sam’s Town.

travel during the week: It’s well known that hotel rates go up on weekends (often double or triple in price), but so does the price of pretty much everything else: shows, clubs, minimum tables, and drink prices. Airfare is also more expensive if you fly to Las Vegas on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday and return on a Sunday or Monday.

Check out the free shows: There are a number of free shows in Las Vegas that are worth checking out. The most popular by far is Sirens, the risque pirate ship battle that takes place off Treasure Island twice a day, 7 days a week. Another popular spectacle is the Bellagio fountains.

Buy Half Price Show Tickets: The box office at the Fashion Show Mall (adjacent to the Wynn Hotel and Treasure Island) sells tickets to many shows for up to half off if you buy tickets the day of the show. Although popular shows aren’t usually half price, they are sometimes 20 or 30 percent off. Popular shows sell out early, so it’s best to get to the box office before noon. There are actually 2 ticket booths at the Fashion Show Mall, one on the ground floor and one on the top floor of the mall near the food court. The booths are not affiliated with each other and have different tickets and shows available. If the show you wanted was sold out at one of the booths, try the other booth.

Enter free clubs: Many nightclubs in Las Vegas have guest lists. Not only can you avoid the line, but you often get a discount on the cover charge, or better yet, get in for free. The best way to get a guest list is to contact the club directly or visit their website.

Book your hotel from a hotel consolidator: The great thing about Las Vegas is that there are thousands of hotel rooms, and on any given night these hotel rooms will be over capacity. Hotels with excess capacity sell their rooms to a consolidator such as Hotwire and Priceline, who in turn resell the rooms without revealing the name of the hotel until after purchase. This allows the hotel to offer a deep discount for excess capacity without diluting its brand. 5-star hotels on the Las Vegas Strip often sell for less than $100 a night.

Take the Deuce: The Deuce is a double-decker bus that runs along the Strip from north to south, reaching Fremont Street to the north. Although it is slower than a taxi due to the number of tourists getting on and off at each stop, it is popular with tourists for a reason: it is cheap. Get a 24-hour pass and hop on and off as many times as you like for less than $10. The buses are frequent, so you usually don’t have to wait more than 10 minutes before the next Deuce arrives.
