VEGAS VIRGIN!!

So I will be hitting up Vegas in December to celebrate a FEW friend’s birthdays and sadly this will be my first time. But at the same this SUPER EXCITED… what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!! As you know, I have a thing for finding deals, so I have been searching the net hit and low. And I found some great websites and thought I would share.

If you are looking for a deal on EVERYTHING… visit smartervegas.com. I was able book a hotel room for 4days/3 nights for ONLY $308.80 at the MGM Grand.  Yes you read that right and we are staying on the weekend!!  Usually the room runs $246/night. Also, I will be checking out a show while in Vegas and found tickets to Zumanity for $56 a person. That’s like half price! 

Another site to check out for restaurant deals is restaurant.com.  There are pages upon pages of local eateries for excellent prices!! Be sure to check your resort for hotel for coupon books. They have them and if you don't use them you could be leaving money on the table and who wants to do that.

I did wait until last week to book airline tickets and they me cost a little under $400, but that included roundtrip transportation to and from the airport. So I am ok with that price since it is a non-stop flight. If I had booked just a couple of weeks earlier, I could of gotten an even better price.  Still working on how to get discounted tickets for airlines without doing “Name Your Own Price” and leaving your day of flying to the computer to pick!! 

I know for a lot of people the first place they run when booking a vacation is priceline or expedia.  But I would definitely say do your homework and shop around… you can save yourself hundreds of dollars! And when you are in Vegas don’t you need that extra cash for the casino!!  

For those who would love to go to Vegas or ANYWHERE, but would like to pay in installments checkout bookit.com.  They allow you to pay for your trip in installments as long as its 30 or more days away.  This is a great savior if you can't pay for a whole trip upfront!!

My next hunt for this trip is finding a great limo from a FAB price! Will probably book this last minute… this will probably get me the best deal and will be calling the company personally to haggle a deal!! And I will definitely keep you updated on all of my Vegas bargains!!
