Although the Las Vegas economy has seen some improvement in 2011, it’s far from healthy. As the national and world economy continues to stall, the gambling industry is really feeling the hit. Not only have casino jobs been lost, but construction is at a halt. It’s bad for the people of Las Vegas, but it’s good for the budget conscious traveler. There are some great hotel deals waiting for you in Las Vegas.
Did You Ever Think You Could Afford The MGM Grand?
When you think of the MGM Grand, you think of big shows with people like Celine Dion. It’s all glamour and excitement, and typically, it might not be in the budget gambler’s price range. If you’re willing to be flexible with your travel, you can actually book a room for around $80. That’s a whole lot more nickels for the slots than you thought.
Even elegant properties like The Venetian are affordable when booked during certain days of the month. You can party and gamble like a high roller and keep more money in your pocket for the casinos. Check out the various traveler reviews to also pick up on inexpensive places to eat. Vegas is about gambling, no casino wants you to spend all of your money on food and lodging.
Discounts Should Persist For Awhile
The economic forecast for Las Vegas predicts that casino growth will stall until around 2015. Until then, don’t expect any new properties. As the city works to recover, expect these great discounts to continue. If you miss today’s deal, just wait until next week for a new one.
