How much money should I take for a 4 day trip to Las Vegas?|110769

I plan on going at the end of September. The flight and hotel are booked but how much should I take for the trip? I plan to gamble a little see some sites and shop for a couple of things, nothing major. Thanks for any help!

  • table games are cheap in some casinos, dirt cheap in some casinos and royally expensive in some others. The MG, Venetian, Bellagio are grand examples of expensive casinos where 4 losses at a stretch would mean you lost a $100 bill where as some like Alladin you can lose anywhere between 5 - 7 games straight and be down $100 and some casinos like the Orleans you need to loose ( depending on time ) 20 straight games to have thrown away $100. Now you need to be attentive...... what we do is we go looking at all casinos in the daytime and gamble in the night!
    Take money depending on your gambling streak. I have a thumb of rule I play at the cheapie casinos where my money lasts at least 6-7 rounds! If I get 3 straight losses time to change table! take about $1000 for food and gambling. But I would keep some money aside for other things like the comedy clubs, the night shows etc.....

    Food is expensive at all places in Vegas strip. venture out of the Strip to have your food they are real cheap.If you want to do something exotic have dinner at the Eiffel Tower of Paris Paris it cost about $200 and you need to be attired in formal wear ( means shoes, tie and a coat ).
    If you plan on travelling outside do venture out to Hoover Dam it is a great sight and about 3 hrs drive away. But 4 days is not enough even for Vegas...... so I don_t think you will be travelling anywhere else. Remember to watch the water fountain show in front of Bellagio it is breathtaking and free!
    I plan to re-visit Vegas in October!
    You have fun Gambling and lots of Good luck to you

    Oh another thing water inside every hotel Costs about $3 -$5 per bottle so remember to buy it outside before you go into your room!

  • I lived in Vegas for 4 years. The food is cheap _ the drinks are free as long as you are gambling. But, my biggest suggestion is to take a set amount of money to put into machines or to gamble with...then, don_t let yourself go over that set limit.That is where people get into trouble saying just 1 more time just a couple more dollars...you end up overspending.I always took rolls of quarters to keep myself entertained on the slots.Souveniers are cheap,too, Your biggest expense is the gambling...if you don_t overdo it there you_ll be fine with a few hundred dollars.If you plan to see a show be prepared to spend about $100. for good show tickets.

  • As much as you can...
    Coz you are a lucky man..

  • I would take $200 per day if you are not much of a gambler. $50-$100 per day for gambling and the rest for food, shopping, and shows.

  • In 4 nights, its easy to drop a grand. $500 should do it just for the gambling - you_ll play alot more than you think. Shows are about $100 each (definitely go see Xumanity!! - it was off the hook) - two shows should be good for 4 night trip. Meals are quite cheap but shopping is quite expensive. Also if you go clubbing, watch out for the $15 drinks and $10 packs of smokes.

    My advice, have a seperate cash reserve for your gambling money and charge everything else. Never go to the ATM in the casino or you_ll be deep in the hole if you do.

  • I went back in april for 4 days and only spent like 600-700 bucks and had alot of fun and bought alot of suvinours... Vegas is weird cause you can go there and blow all kinds of money with out gambling but you can also do ur homework and find all kinds of places to go and save money if you want to take that route. you can get a beer for between 1-10 dollars, i did my homework before i left, you will not have enough time to see what you want, you will have more problems with time then money.

  • Well the food down there is way expensive and if you are planning on gambling you are going to blow a lot (don_t get addicted). I would bring a lot cuz it goes away fast.

  • If you want to see a show, try to purchase your tickets before you leave on the trip(Cirque du Soleil has 5 shows;awesome)
    I would take approx. 150.00 per day for Food, gambling, shopping,etc
    You might want to allow yourself a specific amount for gambling each day. Once that is gone, you quit for the day.
    Have one nice dinner, but don_t forget the buffets at Bellagio and the new Wynn are amazing. Also, seafood at Joe_s Stone Crab (Caesars Forum shops) is the best in the US. Go at lunchtime, when there are lower prices but the same good food.
    Be safe and enjoy

  • spend 100.00 a day. stop after 50.00 if you don_t win anything

  • Las Vegas is expensive!! Take a lot of money.

  • I just came back from a trip on Friday. I took $500 per day. Worked just fine.

  • at least a grand or two

  • not counting airfare and hotel i would sayyou could get by on 500 or 600 dollars but 1000 dollars would be great.

  • take all of it. spend as much as you can.

  • 6000 you know like 1500 a day that way you can have a good time.

  • If you budget how much you want to lose in those 4 days and don_t put in any more in the machines/tables. you can get a better idea on how much to bring (if you wanted to blow $100) a day on gambling(which is very easy to do). Base it around that , you never know you could be lucky !!! I would suggest with a $100 a day gambling budget,,probably a $1000?Good Luck .
