Finding deals in Las Vegas

We usually try to get to Las Vegas once a year and I thought I would share all the ways I find to make our dollars stretch.  This year I was able to find some really great ways to save money so that we could do more fun things.    The first thing I did was use Kayak.com to give me updates for when the prices of airfare change.  When the price drops, I get an email notification.  This year we were able to get one ticket free by using points from a  credit card.

  For hotels, we usually stay at the same one every year and because we signed up for the players card, we get discounted rates and deals emailed to us.  We stay at MGM properties, usually at the Monte Carlo and this year they offered up 2 free nights to try to get us to return.   For the other nights, I used points earned through the Facebook game called Myvegas.  The game is free to play and you can accumulate LPs to use towards free rooms, shows and food.   You are limited to 3 rewards per person so between my husband and I we had 2 free buffets at the Monte Carlo, 2 free rooms at the Monte Carlo,  and 2 $50 gift cards to a restaurant at the Monte Carlo.   We also redeemed for non-MGM properties and got some free cotton candy at the Sugar Factory.   The MyVegas game is now on Mobile Phone and the LPs will accumulate between the computer and the mobile game. 

 I also always check Groupon.com and Livingsocial.com  for any destination I am heading to.   This year I was able to get discounted entrance fee to run in a local 5k,  a discounted meal at the Sugar Factory, and 2 discounted meals at the Paris Buffet. 

  I also always look on ebay for show tickets and activities to do.  This year I was able to snag a Wedding Vow Renewal package for just $1.99 at the Little Flower Chapel in Las Vegas.   They were wonderful and it was an amazing experience.  We were just responsible for  giving a tip to the minister and the photographer. 

 Another great deal I found was by reading posts on the Myvegas friends Facebook Group and the Vegas Rover Group.   These are groups that people post about how to maximize earnings and free stuff playing the MyVegas game and other great deals in Las Vegas.   It was on these sites that I heard about a discount code for seeing Veronic Voices at Bally's.  Using the code VPAPER on Ticketmaster.com, we were able to get 2 ticket for the show for only $2.50.   It was a really a good show!
