Have you checked out Ellis Island Hotel & Casino? The cheapest table games & 9.99 steak dinner! Here's my review: ua-cam.com/video/pj4vsQXBwb0/v-deo.html
ellis island is cheap but theres not alot of tables to eat your take out food there. Also the sportbook is a total joke. doesnt even have any chairs. i find the best bang for your buck is luxor
Ally, Here’s a general tip for Living Social and Groupon. I usually try and call before I go or speak to person there. Tell them you could buy one but prefer to give them the whole price if they match the price. They always say “Yes” because it saves them a lot of money. After the deal gives you 25-60% off, they then have to pay Living Social and Groupon a very hefty fee. These deals are often a loss leader and if you don’t come back, they lost money. This way, the still love you and know that you are helping them too.
Wow! I currently have a reservation to visit in April and checked the current price for my stay. I saw that it was cheaper and called the hotel and got the price adjusted. A little over $100 dlls saved in 5 minutes! Thank you!!!
Just finished our great breakfast at Ocean One! We have been talking about how helpful your Vegas videos are. We’ve been plenty of times before, but it feels great to same some money in a very expensive town! Thank you!
Love Vegas! It’s my husband and I favorite vacation destination. We have been 9 times over the last 3 years and have never paid for a room at the Delano with the Mlife Rewards program. Each trip we are rewarded with 4 more comp nights so we plan our next vacay while we’re there lol. We would love to stay at a nicer hotel but the Delano is 5star when it’s FREE lol. We also love the casino at Mandalay Bay which is convenient.
Do you get the comps from playing in the casino? I would rather do this! We are staying at the Tahiti Village this time but have to watch a 2 hr presentation for the free room. We did it 2 years ago and was nice.
Excellent vid Aly. Usually I spend 10 nights in Vegas (1fri & 1sat). Restaurant food day after day is bit much so I always get room with a fridge. First day I go to whole foods & buy few salads - fruit - bread - water …. & I bring a small kettle. Always eat out dinner but when I get up in morning or any other time it’s convenient to have quality snacks ! Whole foods is much cheaper than strip food & they have quality items.
Great tips. I also think people need to be realistic when coming to Vegas, as well. I've noticed the prices on everything (**i.e. food, resort fees, shows, etc.) have dramtically gone up in Vegas since at least around 2018-2019. So, for those that have not been to Vegas in over 5 years or so, are in for some serious sticker shock. The only prices that have remained stable are the minimums at the tables and slot machines.
Aly, Thank you for some REAL savings tips. I found your video very useful and informative. I have been to Las Vegas about 50 times (returning again this August) and learned many things that I didn't know that will keep more money in my pocket. Who am I kidding by the time I leave there will be no money in my pocket! I love this place!!
Thanks so much for the tips! The CNF fee and, most importantly, getting any cheaper hotel rates after making the initial reservation when booked directly. I booked 2wks ago for Nov'22 and re-checked the rates today, called the hotel for the newer lower rate, and saved $250 off the total stay! Will rewatch before our trip for a refresher. Thank you!
Congratulations and Well done on making the best video on UA-cam on Vegas Money Saving Tips, I have seen lots of videos but this one is exceptional , thanks for keeping it real . This video is a must watch and can save you hundreds or at least provide you with a much better travel experience to Vegas. Arriving early in the morning , leaving your bags at the bell desk and exploring Vegas literally gives you an extra day without an expensive hotel stay just to sleep in a room.
Great video...One thing no one ever says is that you should watch prices on drinks in those cheap breakfast places! The drinks (coffee and juice) can cost more than your meal!
excellent video, thanks. WE are going to Vegas at the end of Sept and I am looking for hidden gems and cheaper eating. When we went in 2017 (last time before that was 2003), it was sticker shock. Vegas was so much better when the Mob controlled everything. You could eat and sleep really cheap.
Great video and agree with most everything. I disagree about MyVEGAS, just set to auto-spin and rack up the points. I got BOGO Bellagio buffet for my next trip.
Thank you for your time and posting. Great information and well edited. And thank you for letting us know it is important to be polite. You're the first to mention this. But of course, you're Canadian. :) Just moved to Henderson for more pickleball, better eating establishments, and warmer weather than Oregon. Thanks again.
Aly your awesome! Pro tip Happy hour specials are great all over Vegas and you can combine that with Yelp check in. Also graveyard food specials at South Point Hotel from 12am to 6am are the best!
"A big ass cup of coffee in the morning before you get dressed like me." 😂😂😂 I felt that so much. I'm the same. Don't talk to me until I have my coffee. Lol Great video.
Great tips! I have definitely been swindled by Alexxa's and Beer Park! lol Will be taking your advice moving forward, thank you! Keep up the great work!
There are good instant coffees. No need to carry a machine or add to single use plastic waste. Just use boiling water and grab a pint of half and half at the local CVS or Walgreens and keep it in the mini fridge.
Hi, just discovered your channel 😊. Great tips for sure, the one regarding dicounts at the front desk the day before you leave, so true. We were there talking to one of the girls about something, anyway in our conversation having a good chat all of a sudden she was removing our Resort fees! Thanks! She was really nice.
Thank you! These tips are almost as awesome as you are. It'll be my first return to Las Vegas after 35 years and my wife's first trip to America. I now live in North Viet Nam and Las Vegas is an entirely different world. I'm really excieted for my wife's first visit to America.
Great video overall but you did say there was a tram that ran from Luxor to Mirage/TI. There are two different trams one that runs from Mandalay to Excalibur and a small tram that connects Mirage to TI, so in reality to get farther up the strip you have to walk quite a bit.
CVS and Walgreens do have liquor, but they are still overpriced. If you are near center strip, on E Flamingo between Bally's and Cromwell / Flamingo you will find "Stage Door". For an example, a fifth of Smirnoff vodka is ten bucks. They are right across the street at the crosswalk when you walk out of the Bally's food court.
if you have a reusable water bottle, many resort pool areas offer free water for fill ups. Also, even if a hotel offers an in room Coffee maker, do not use it. Its safer to bring your own maker. Hotel room coffee makers are a haven of germs, and there is a reason why when police go into hotel rooms they check the coffee maker very early in there investigations.
I’m gonna start my channel soon in ac and this was a huge inspiration for some ideas! This is the type of content I want to do in NJ just with a lot of humor lol. Thanks great vid 🎰
I've noticed that having a players card, even without status, gets me the same room rates as the travel sites like expedia. So for the example in the video, my MGM Rewards membership gets me the same rates as the travel sites plus the F&B credit.
Thanks for the Canadian tip !!!! I was going crazy trying to price it out between a Air Canada package as opposed to doing a direct booking with the hotel in the end did a package ...it was bit less ..I had to go on the exact dates.
@@alysmalls Your welcome! I was laughing at your coffee hack..that's totally me. Can't function without coffee in the morning. Las monthy's buddy trip, Caesars puts Kerig machines in the room. No pods. Down in the lobby their expensive, so yeah next trip with the wife in July I will definitely be investing in one of those machines. Thanks.
Thanks for the tips! I get some comp nights for being part of a player's rewards program. Do you think the $20 trick for a room upgrade will work? I do pay for some of the nights during my stay.
El Cortez offers the best perks ever. Along with a free cocktail coupon, at check in at the bar. Daily contest & perks too. The February promotion, offered a free box of chocolate with my earned points, or wine. I left Flamingo after 20 years, for El Cortez. 👍😻
7:45 Wifi Extra Device Charges: a Wifi hotspot from your phone uses your limited cellular connection only, not your current wifi connection (since you need to turn off wifi in order to create a hotspot.) What you may mean is a wifi-repeater, or a wifi-bridge, which is an extra paid app or extra hardware.
Hmm, perhaps you have an older phone? This worked perfectly fine for me using WiFi, and NOT cellular data, without paying for an app or hardware. I have a Pixel phone for context.
Thanks Aly for another great video! All these are great tips. Wow Vegas was packed this Memorial week! Luckily I chose to come in on Sunday instead of Friday. Your recommendation on the frozen Bailey’s at O’Sheas was the best! I even went with the larger size. (Probably next time the regular would be just fine also) 😎
20 years ago, I told the taxi driver that I was a taxi driver, from Cleveland, and he still took me the long way. I reminded him that I knew my way around the city, but I still payed him the meter rate. ( No tip ).
I've never had a problem when booking using Expedia or other third party sites. However, you won't get any complimentary room upgrades (not always a guarantee when booking direct anyways) and if you have any problems on your end, like you need to cancel or change dates, it might be a little more difficult

I just subbed. I love how you’re not like those other Vegas bloggers and you’re more outside of the box. Excited to see where this channel goes!!
Hey Hannah, thanks so much, appreciate your support!

Love it! Glad I could help a bit, hope you're having the best time :)
I'm going to Vegas in April and wanted to say thank you for your tips.

I do similar and buy food at Fremont casinos. At least that’s less expensive there.
Great tips. I also think people need to be realistic when coming to Vegas, as well. I've noticed the prices on everything (**i.e. food, resort fees, shows, etc.) have dramtically gone up in Vegas since at least around 2018-2019. So, for those that have not been to Vegas in over 5 years or so, are in for some serious sticker shock. The only prices that have remained stable are the minimums at the tables and slot machines.
EVERY city has increased prices since the pandemic. Even McDonald’s where I used to get $1 McChicken sandwich, but now it’s $3

Aly, Thank you for some REAL savings tips. I found your video very useful and informative. I have been to Las Vegas about 50 times (returning again this August) and learned many things that I didn't know that will keep more money in my pocket. Who am I kidding by the time I leave there will be no money in my pocket! I love this place!!
I feel the same way! For some reason, I'm never sad about losing money in Vegas lol! But any extra savings helps. The count down is on for August!
Thanks so much for the tips! The CNF fee and, most importantly, getting any cheaper hotel rates after making the initial reservation when booked directly. I booked 2wks ago for Nov'22 and re-checked the rates today, called the hotel for the newer lower rate, and saved $250 off the total stay! Will rewatch before our trip for a refresher. Thank you!
Whoa that's awesome! Thanks for letting me know it worked for you, November can't come soon enough!

Along with bringing my own coffee pot,I bring my stove and oven to cook my own dinner like an Italian mom. Yum 😋
Fantastic suggestions! Thank you! We would have saved at least $150 on our last Vegas trip...
Our first family trip is coming up in August. Will definitely use your tips because we are also leaving from Canada. Thank you.
Awesome, have fun!
We are doing the Kerieg coffee thing this time! Agreed! ☕️
Great video and agree with most everything. I disagree about MyVEGAS, just set to auto-spin and rack up the points. I got BOGO Bellagio buffet for my next trip.
How does one set up auto spin?
@@NikkiWills11 just hold down the spin button
I do this everyday I get tons of free shows or admissions, two for one buffets etc.....going there end of the month.
Yes. We have a trip coming up staying at Bellagio 4 nights comped from rewards from app. And still have enough rewards for 8 more comped nights.
Does this cost money?

Great tips!
The South Point has some of the best deals in Vegas. It's more of a spot for locals, but there's nothing like $1 bowling (:
Hey Ally! Great video, love how you look out for the visitors/viewers. Especially those making first visits.
Thanks so much! 😊
This vlog is extremely well put together and helpful. Thank you.
"A big ass cup of coffee in the morning before you get dressed like me." 😂😂😂 I felt that so much. I'm the same. Don't talk to me until I have my coffee. Lol Great video.
Hahah I knew I wasn't the only one
Phoenix is the NEW Vegas with so much to see and do!
I like Phoenix and Scottsdale!
Great intel, thank you Miss Smalls! We're going in May, we're going in May so these tips will come in handy...
Great tips! I have definitely been swindled by Alexxa's and Beer Park! lol Will be taking your advice moving forward, thank you! Keep up the great work!
Glad it was helpful!
I had to subscribe because this is one of the most comprehensive videos on Vegas Tips I've seen. Great work!
Thanks Jamie :)
I like your style! I'm planning a mother's day trip and we're staying at Paris. Very helpful tips!
There are good instant coffees. No need to carry a machine or add to single use plastic waste. Just use boiling water and grab a pint of half and half at the local CVS or Walgreens and keep it in the mini fridge.
It is true in any city. The best and the cheapest restaurants are the ones where the locals go instead of the tourist traps.
Hi, just discovered your channel 😊. Great tips for sure, the one regarding dicounts at the front desk the day before you leave, so true. We were there talking to one of the girls about something, anyway in our conversation having a good chat all of a sudden she was removing our Resort fees! Thanks! She was really nice.
Great coffee ☕ tip!
No clickbait here. Good tips. Thanks! Subbed.
Thanks so much!
Hands down, you have the best tips!
I have been to Vegas more than 10x in the past 12 months and did not know about some of the things you mentioned. Thank you!
Appreciate it Susana :)
Been many times...had no idea about the sleep rooms.. Thanks!
I thought this was just another Vegas top video … this was the best one I’ve seen .. thank you 🇦🇺
Thank you! These tips are almost as awesome as you are. It'll be my first return to Las Vegas after 35 years and my wife's first trip to America. I now live in North Viet Nam and Las Vegas is an entirely different world. I'm really excieted for my wife's first visit to America.

Yep!
Ohhhh, so that's what a bell desk is for! Thanks!!

For an example, a fifth of Smirnoff vodka is ten bucks. They are right across the street at the crosswalk when you walk out of the Bally's food court.
Stage Door is great if you're nearby!

Hotel room coffee makers are a haven of germs, and there is a reason why when police go into hotel rooms they check the coffee maker very early in there investigations.
Very tight and genuine video for both locals and tourists alike. I'll be on the lookout for thar CNF scam.
Aly, I subbed after watching this video. I thought your suggestions were fab and my son and I are going in a few months. Can't wait.
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for subscribing 🤗
Just got back from Vegas. Used $20 trick, got early check in fee removed and checked in at 9am 👍🏼 (cosmopolitan)
Whoa that's awesome! Nice work
Another great video
Thanks 😊 I always take my ☕️ water and cups snacks saves you lots of money
Yes!
Great video. I go to Vegas a few times a year and these are all legit! A few I hadn't thought of or know either.
Love it when she said bring your own coffee Maker I have one that only goes with me to Vegas😂
This was very helpful. Cheers!
Thank you!
welcome!
We always take the city bus 🚌 to Walmart to buy snacks and food and what not.
I’m gonna start my channel soon in ac and this was a huge inspiration for some ideas! This is the type of content I want to do in NJ just with a lot of humor lol. Thanks great vid 🎰
Once I found that little Mexican place with $5 breakfasts, I used it all the time!
This was packed full of great info, thank you so much!
This is such a relaxing video , thanks
You should mention getting a players card. Casinos like to make a big deal for out of towners, they will send them free night stays and such.
I've had their cards for years, no offers
@@ericdiekmann2308 Maybe you don't play enough?
I've noticed that having a players card, even without status, gets me the same room rates as the travel sites like expedia. So for the example in the video, my MGM Rewards membership gets me the same rates as the travel sites plus the F&B credit.
@@barbarapisarski4144 you're right I'm not stupid enough to gamble
@@ericdiekmann2308 I would never call anyone stupid. Gamble according to your means. Me, I am spending my kids inheritance lol...
Wow. I’m so much wiser after watching this: thank you!
You do such a great job. Thank you for the tips
Glad it was helpful!

Going to LVN next week. Those are some great tips. So many I had to rewatch and take notes.
TY So much - Going only for a couple of days and staying at The Paris

Just found your channel, and I enjoyed it. I am following you now.

Appreciate it Bill!
Very helpful video with some gems. Thank you!
Great video thanks hun
Staying at Paris in 2 weeks. Love that CVS!!!!
Get coffee at McDonalds - not top but hot, cheap and most times a much shorter wait.
This is an excellent video. I am a long time Vegas visitor and I didn’t know some of these things.
Thanks so much, glad I could help!

Great tips!! Thanks!! Hotel rooms are much cheaper on Expedia then booking direct- have you ever had issues booking with Expedia?
I've never had a problem when booking using Expedia or other third party sites. However, you won't get any complimentary room upgrades (not always a guarantee when booking direct anyways) and if you have any problems on your end, like you need to cancel or change dates, it might be a little more difficult
