Las Vegas travel brings you to the heart of entertainment. Some people arrive for the thrill of flashing lights, ringing bells and free drinks. Others want to see rare concert appearances, famous comedians, Broadway musicals and Cirque du Soleil performances. Architecture lovers want to experience the "theme park" atmosphere of the Las Vegas casinos themselves and peruse displays like the Venetian gondola, The Bellagio Hotel conservatory or the Mandalay Bay shark exhibit.

Each year, more than 100,000 couples tie the knot in a Las Vegas wedding, and even more arrive for a low-cost honeymoon. You can save a lot by researching every detail or you can find a discount vacation package to finesse the details.

Feeling spontaneous? That's what Las Vegas travel is all about! Why not slip away for 3 days/2 nights from Monday-Thursday for $129. You'll also receive $100 in casino chips in addition to your stay at Planet Hollywood, The Sahara, Boulder Station, Fiesta Rancho, Wild Wild West, Palace Station, Texas Station or Golden Gate Hotel. For $179 during the week or $229 on the weekend, you can spend 4 days/3 nights at those hotels and receive $100 casino chips too.

You can also save $250 by booking a hotel and one of the Vegas shows online at "My Las Vegas Rooms". If you want more gambling credits, then you can also try "Trip 2 Earth", which offers 4 days & 3 nights during the week, or 3 days & 2 nights on the weekend, $500 in gaming credit, 2 buffet meals and a discount card for as low as $99 per person. You'll be staying at The Sahara, Four Queens, the Fitzgerald, Palace Station, Tuscany Suites or Casino Royale with this deal.

When some people are considering traveling to Las Vegas, they want the whole package, including airfare, hotel, show tickets, spa services, food, etc. The best way to snag an all-inclusive is through your local travel agent or directly through the hotels, since online discounts are largely air+hotel or hotel+show combinations at best.

At "Mgm Mirage Vacations", a vacation package that includes airfare from Buffalo NY and 7 nights at MGM Grand (in December) starts at just $711/person, everything included! Yes, that's like $100/day to stay in a luxury resort! For the same trip, the couple could stay at The Bellagio Hotel for $1,000/person. Of course, you can buy the penthouse package for three times that amount, but the budget conscious traveler can find some tremendous deals right through the hotel websites.

Not only is Las Vegas travel inexpensive, but it's also tons of fun! Whether it is your first time or your twentieth time, there is no shortage of action on the Las Vegas Strip. For the really frugal traveler, there are also backpackers' hostels for as low as $20/night. Yes, you can also still find those amazing value meals for less than $5 too if you know where to look! Sites like "Cheap Ovegas" will guide you if you're looking to save a few bucks or if you suspect your love of gambling will lead you to new lows!
