I am planning a Las Vegas trip for 2 people in 2 states in September do you have any money saving travel tips?|127853

This will be my first time going to vegas I live in Florida and my Mom lives in Michigan. I want to surprise her in September with this trip. We will be leaving from each of our separate airports and I would like for us to arrive around the same time. I would appreciate any travel tips anyone has about deals , hotel , car rentals, must do things while there, best hotels. Thank you !

It would be much cheaper to stay off the strip, but you still may want to stay close. walk rather than take a cab or pubic transportation. I wouldn_t rent a car. because you don_t want to drive in Vegas especially near the strip and NEVER on the strip. I made the mistake and was stuck for a very long time in traffic.

Thats really good to hear. There are several websites which can give you deals. like orbitz, expedia, lastminute etc. There are some travel aggregator websites where you can find deals from all major travel deals provider at one place. I would say visit

There are lots of fun things to do in Las Vegas. Everything from Vegas free attractions, to casino hopping, to Shopping to Vegas tours etc...

Regarding the hotel room I recommend to book it directly with the hotel in order to be more flexible. In addition I would check current hotel special on sites like

Depending how long you are in Vegas you need to decide whether you need a car I always rent one but many people don��t and don��t think its needed have a look here at these two posts the first one is about car rental and the second about where you can for trips outside Vegas.

AS far as hotels go the most important thing to get the best price is to book direct this means no middle man and you can cancel or change you booking with no penalty up to 48 hours before check in, there are some offers below.

MGM is a lovely big hotel with the most comftable beds in Vegas, a great pool, great location and less than 10 minutes by cab from the airport. MGM launched some new offers yesterday that over up until September if you book by Visa you can have a free massage at the spa, or a free upgrade to a spa suite or a free in room breakfast form $79 per night.
