Well-I assume you already have your airline tickets?

If you like to go to numerous locations-think about renting a car.
Or you can use the Trolley $1.65 exact change. I think it stops
running at 1 a.m. The Bus that runs on the strip is $2-here's a
tip-sit in the back(much cooler).

Try to eat during off hours say Lunch at 2-3 p.m and Dinner
at 8-9 p.m.

If you are looking for a low priced show that is good-I enjoyed
the one over at Stratosphere Tower-can take trolley or bus.
The trolley drops you off right in front. The tip here is that they
hand special coupons for the show in that if you buy a drink for
something like $7-8 bucks you get the show included. Instead
of paying $13-14 bucks without the coupon. If you hand $1-2
to the person before they start to seat you-you'll have a good
chance of getting a table right in front. Show times are 2 & 4
p.m.-so it's a good thing to do during the afternoon. The show
is a mixture of show girls,magician(parrot), darn can't remember
the cute little dog in the tuxedo, singer, Big John (the grill is
funny !).

If you gamble at a place you might want to get a players card.
The fancier places don't cater to much to the nickel players, but
you can find some. I personally like the middle area of the strip
such as Circus-Circus, Westward Ho, Riveria(nickel mania).
The cafe in Riveria & Westward Ho are both good. Inside
Stratosphere they have a place that has a real good spaghetti-
they have old time pictures of las vegas celeb's.

Not sure if you have booked your rooms-this is a tough one-
because everyone can be so different as to what they like or
prefer-if you are looking at price imperial palace, riveria, stardust,
sahara. I've always founs/shows/

separate. Weekends are more expensive then weekdays.
You should be able to snag a room for $40-$50 per night.
The rooms at Riveria & Sahara are nice.

Or you can do the bidding thing for rooms.
