Best Las Vegas Coupons

I am literally shaking right now, I REALLY want to go see this show in las vegas and I just got a really good deal for row C seats. What is so different in this play then the one I saw in tour?

My mom still hasn’t given me a yes or no answer so how can I convince her to take me?

This is my life goal. To see this show in Las Vegas. I know. I’m crazy.

P.S. THANKS SO MUCH!

Well the only problem is that they shorten the show to a hour and a half not to mention they shorten few of the songs. However, you will not be disappointed with the special effects, the sets, the costumes, and don’t panic if the chandelier comes crashing down on you. This will be a show to remember. And if you need proof that this show is different than the original tour, watch the video of the Overture from Las Vegas. I didn’t shoot this but you still like to see it anyway.

where can I find cheap or discount tickets to the shows in Las Vegas? I am looking for a website to pre-order or some technique to find deals. Thanks

The main shows in Vegas do not discount tickets. The only chance you have is at the half price ticket locations along the strip. They only have tickets for that days performances. You take your chance and what ever is available when you get to the front of the line is what you have to choose from. You may find some coupons in local entertainment magazines for discounts. Do not count on major headliner shows or any of the Cirque du soleil shows. They usually sell out.

I am going March 17th - 21st and staying at the MGM. What are things I need to see while out there, things for free would be best or things with a small fee. I know about all the shows just looking for other must see things for cheap so I can lose more money at the casinos. How about the best bets for a cheap beer at a bar or case of beer from a liqour store to drink at the hotel. What about the best deals for buffets, just on a budget, thats all, any suggestions will be appreciated.

From the info I have gathered for my Vegas trip in April there is cheap beer to be found just down the street from the MGM @ O'Shea's and Bills Casinos. The beer at these places (if your not gambling) costs anywhere between $1.50 to $2.00.

Is Grissom Leaving CSI? They took his picture off the at the beginning. He said he was only going for 4 wks? what's the deal? And who is keebler? Anyone know what's up? I hope he doesn't leave the show won't be the same!!!

Is William Petersen really leaving CSI?

Well, kind of… yeah. For those that have caught the new promo for the next episode of CSI, it touts Grissom's departure from the Vegas lab. The episode, appropriately titled "Leaving Las Vegas," airs next Thursday, January 4. But we sort of knew this anyway. We even reported a few months ago that Liev Schreiber was joining the cast as a new lead investigator named Michael Keppler.

So at this point, I suppose you shouldn't be worried. The episode description even says that Grissom is only leaving for a four week sabbatical. But then I went digging.

A simple Google search for "William Petersen leaving CSI" yielded numerous articles and interviews dating back to 2005 where the actor talks about how he's tired of playing Gil, would like to give theatre and film a shot again, and his desire to be a better husband. He makes it clear in this article that his character will only be around in a limited capacity for the remainder of this season. So it looks like solving the case of the miniature replica killer was Gil's last hurrah. But let's be honest here TV fans. We know how this works. My educated guess? Petersen won't be back at all when CSI returns in Fall '07 for its eighth season. Anyone think otherwise?

I was granted two offers yesterday: A teaching position for an elementary school K-8. And a career working for a big company selling advertisements for exotic cars like Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, and Bentleys. The sales package is 30k permanent base plus commission. Teaching is 36k a year plus pension and benefits. Sales is a always a grind. No sales job is fun. Must meet quotas and deadlines. Sell, sell, sell. Go to trade shows in Las Vegas. Some travel is required which I dont like. Constant deadlines. I could make 60k a year maybe more. But I dislike telephones and office cubicles. Teaching is more related to my interests. Summers off, writing, research, independence, instructing others—but the pay is low. However, I get a pension after 20 years. Working for govt. is good. Im a male(39 y.o.) So I will retire at 59 with pension. But dealing with occasional bratty kids, time constraints, and politics. I hate making career decisions. Whats your opinion?

I was in a similar position, although in my area, the teaching market is absolutely flooded with candidates and there are no FT teaching jobs. Since I couldn't find a teaching job right out of college, I went into sales for the money. They pay was about $10 grand better than an entry level teacher, but the job was repetitive, I was under constant stress to hit my quotas, and I was burned out after two years. I was eventually "let go" and am now just getting off of unemployment (I was let go in August.) I found myself to be back where I started. I am now a subtitute teacher and I love it! I hope to get a FT teaching position next year (since I am getting to know teachers, principals, etc.) If teaching is your passion- do it! Sales is stressful and has a high turnover rate- for a reason! When you are a teacher you have a real career and can climb up the salary ladder. Sales jobs are always great- at first. Not worth it in the long run. Go for the teaching job.

I need to find the best coupon website or book that I can purchase to get the best deals for restaurants, gaming, shows, etc. I have already booked the flight and hotel ill I need now is some coupons. If possible I would like promotional or discounts to the blue man group. Thanks!

Go to www.vegas4locals.com or www.lasvegas-nv.com and get free coupons. Also when you get to Vegas pick up a free copy of "What's On" magazine available in every hotel and you will fine some good coupons in there. You can also get coupons booklets in every cab and at the monorail. If you need show ticket go to a "Tickets 2Nite" and get half off show tickets. They have 4 on the strip. I just got back from Vegas and I saved a lot of money. My the way "Tic2Nite" do offer half off tickets to Blue Man Group. I seen them up on the screen with my own eyes!

My boyfriend and I are going to Vegas for my 23rd birthday in August. What are the best hotels that are still reasonably priced and on the strip? We were thinking Luxor.

Also, what are some must-sees since this is my first time there(clubs, restaurants, shows…)?

Any other tips would be appreciated too…good deals, how to get free drinks, VIP access…

Sandy’s Vegas Guide

Things to remember:
1.Drinks are free when you’re gambling. Sitting at a bar and playing a few dollars in a poker machine will get you a free drink. Sitting at a machine in the casino will get you the same. Tipping the waitress or bartender a dollar or two will keep her coming back. If you walk up to the bar and order drinks, you’re going to pay lots more, even for soda or bottled water.
2.Player’s Cards: Before you begin gambling, get a player’s card. Most places offer sign up deals (a coffee cup, a free meal, assorted coupons). If you get a card where you’re staying and you use it while you’re gambling, you can “save” the points and use then toward your room when you check out. Some casinos will combine accounts for married couples, some don’t. I always get a card in my name and ask for a second card. I play with one and my husband plays with the other. That way all the points are going to one card, and accumulate faster. Plus … you’ll get offers in the mail for your next trip!
3.Beware of time-share people! As you walk through the hotels and along the strip, you’ll be approached by people who want to give you free show tickets, free tours, free meals, etc. These are time-share sales people. They promise freebies in exchange for an hour of your time. I warn everyone about this but some people just don’t listen. A friend of mine decided an hour of her time was worth giving up in exchange for a show. So her and her husband accepted, were put on a bus and taken to a “presentation” and weren’t bought back for SIX hours. Their only escape would have been to take a cab back to the strip but that would have been expensive and they wouldn’t have gotten their “free” show tickets. The best way to get these people to lose interest in you and move on to the next person is to say, “Thanks, but we’re leaving tonight.”
4.Free Pulls: Some of the casinos offer “free pulls” on a special slot machine as you walk in the door. There are usually no strings attached, you pull the lever and win something. Usually it’s a key ring or a hat; sometimes it’s a free buffet. Sometimes it’s a coupon for a “fun book” (a book of coupons for that casino). To get the fun book, you can be sure you’re going to have to walk to a far, far corner in the casino. They want to get you WAY inside.
5.$40 for $20: Some casinos offer $40 in slot play for $20. What they don’t tell you is that it’s on a bank of “special” machines, and you can’t cash out for cash. Instead, you play the $40 and then choose a prize based on the credits. So before you hand over your $20, take a look at the prizes being offered. If there’s something in there that’s worth paying $20 for – have fun. If not, keep walking.
6.Valet: If you’re going to be renting a car while you’re there, valet parking is the way to go. For a $2 tip, you can park at a hotel or casino and visit the nearby hotels and casinos.
7.Bus: If you use the busses that run up and down the strip, put your wallet in your front pocket. Vegas is the favorite vacation spot for pick-pocketers, too.
8.Cabs: Cabs are more expensive than a bus, but faster and less waiting. Almost all hotels have a cab line outside one of their doors, a line of cabs waiting for the next fare. A hotel employee will whistle for the next cab in line when you ask for a cab.

Things to see (and most are FREE!):
1.The Freemont Street Experience: Every night there is a light and music show that stretches for blocks. It’s an amazing thing to see … and it’s FREE. Freemont Street is in downtown Vegas, you’ll need to take a cab if you don’t have a car. The street is blocked off from traffic and you can stand in the street and look up and watch the show. (Another place to keep a close check on your wallet.) There’s a different show every 30 minutes, beginning at 8:00 or 8:30 PM. Show times and pictures can be seen at: http://www.vegasexperience.com/ Be sure to check out the video! Freemont Street also has performers and kiosks all along it. Lots to see and worth a trip. Downtown used to be nasty and scary, but they’ve cleaned it up and it’s clean and safe now. Just don’t wander too far off Freemont on any of the side streets. You probably wouldn’t want to anyway, most of the action is right on Freemont.
2.The Fountains at Bellagio: Don’t miss this! It’s a 900-foot long row of fountains that “dance” to music. The songs change, and it’s awesome to see. More info at: http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/bellagiofountains.html While you’re there, go inside and check out the conservatory. Very impressive!
3.Caesars Forum Shops: If you feel like strolling through Rome, check out the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. This is also where the talking statues live. More info on the shops and a link to info on the talking statues at: http://www.vegas.com/shopping/forumshops.html
4.The Canal at the Venetian: This is pretty amazing and a MUST see. You feel like you’re in Italy as you stroll along the canal and visit the shops. You can even take a gondola ride. Check out the Canal Shoppes at: http://www.venetian.com/shoppe/index.cfm and get information on the gondolas at: http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/gondola.html?f=m0at&t=stripat
5.The Volcano, The Tigers and The Aquarium at The Mirage: If you go up the moving walkway and through the front door at the Mirage, you’ll see the white tiger. Pretty cool to see. Head through the foliage to the front lobby and check out the wall behind the check-in desk. It’s a HUGE salt-water aquarium. In front of the hotel there is a huge waterfall that turns into an erupting volcano (loud, bright, and hot!) at night. A trip to Vegas without seeing the volcano erupt just wouldn’t be a trip to Vegas. http://www.themirage.com/
6.The Wildlife Habitat at The Flamingo: An outdoor habitat located within the Flamingo. You can see the live flamingos (still haven’t figured out how to kidnap one) plus lots of other birds, fish, and turtles. http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/wildlifehabitat.html
7.Masquerade Village at The Rio: Masquerade Village is inside the casino at the Mirage. There is a parade in the sky with music and dancing and lights that’s pretty cool to see. This is located off the strip, too far to walk, but there is a free shuttle that goes from Harrah’s to Rio and back. More info and a video at: http://www.harrahs.com/our_casinos/rlv/entertainment/entertainment_detail_07.html
8.The Eiffel Tower at Paris: You can take a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower. http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/eiffeltower.html?f=m0at&t=stripat

More GOOD Las Vegas info:

We would like to see an adult show or go to some adult places. We are not stuffy people and we will try anything. Money is not a big deal when it comes to places to eat. So some good places please.

I have been to Vegas many time a year for the last 20 or so and to me the best old fashioned girlie production show in Vegas is "Jubilee" at Ballys. I have seen the Follies Bergere at the Tropicana also but did not like it as much.

We were just in Vegas a month or so ago and saw "O" at Bellagio. But I did not like it as much as "KA" at the MGM. All of the shows in Vegas these days run about $100. and they do have dark days when there is no show so you may want to check who is playing when you are there so you can reserve.

Food in Vegas is really expensive these days. Many hotels have high end restaurants of all kinds. So you can just go in Bellagio, Ceasers, Paris or MGM, or any and they will have fancy restaurants. The buffets which years ago were great bargains are no longer. They range for dinner from $20. to $35 a person now days. There are some "regular people" restuarants around, like an Outback Steak House, in the CAsino Royale Hotel (next to Harrahs) Up on Sahara Avenue there is a Tony Roma's rib/chicken place just a few blocks from the Strip.

If you want an elegant experience try this restaurant in te Stratisphere hotel/casino: Top of the World Restaurant - Some 1,000 feet above Las Vegas, this revolving restaurant offers casual lunches and fine-dining dinners, including a signature Chocolate Stratosphere dessert, in the shape of the tower, that gratifies two. On a separate level, a lounge offers cocktails and live music at night.

We ate there and the food is good and so is the service; if you go please reserve and ask for a seating about dusk so that as you eat you can see the sunset and then the night skyline. Its pricey but worth it at least once.

Below are some links for you

Any other places to get good deals on ticket?
Also, is there any ways to get good deals on Cirque du Soleil in Vegas?

They are not ALL ½ off, AND they charge a service charge.
It's still worth checking with them though.

I don't think that you will ever get the hottest shows, esp on a Fri-Sat night. The deals are Sunday thru Thursday..

The best value buffets are not on the strip.
The strip is for tourists that don't have transportation to get off the strip, and are a captive audience for the overpriced meals. Way overpriced IMO.

Locals eat off the strip.

Try the Orleans, Silverton and Main Street Station (Downtown) for great value buffets, AND you can get 2 for 1 coupons for the buffets by oredering a book called
AMERICAN CASINO GUIDE 2007 Edition. (Author Steve Bourie) Available on Amazon, eBay etc. Coupons good until Dec '07, also good for some shows and a few casino bets.

You need to go downtown and get the FREMONT STREET EXPERIENCE fun book coupons for a Main St 2 for 1
It's well worth the cost of the book if you are going to LV for 3 or 4 days or more. LOADS of great coupons in this book.

Silverton Lunch Buffet is $9.95 and 2 for 1 in the book, amazing meal for 2 for $10 !!
Others are $15 max, but 2 for1's are in the book.

You need a car to get off the strip for Silverton or Orleans, but you can take a bus downtown for Main Street Stn.

Th book is WELL worth the cost if you are there for a few days with a car. Have Fun !

i want to go to vegas to take a break from my life and things happening around me. i most definately will gamble some (with money set aside for it of course), and just enjoy the sites of all the different hotels. i like the fact i can stay whereever i want as long as i want without anyone waiting on me. the downside is the loneliness. i have never really gone anywhere far without company, if you went alone, how did you deal with being lonely? by that i mean did you feel awkward standing in the long buffet lines alone (can't go to vegas without going to the buffets lol), watching shows alone, just walking around the streets alone when seeing there are people with other people? i want to use this as a refresher and reliever for myself. please share your experience, it will help greatly =D

I regularly make solo trips to Vegas and you summed it up pretty good.

The upside is that you can do what you want, when you want without spending your day hunting down your group in a giant casino.

The biggest downside for me is eating alone. Buffets are a great option when eating alone since you can start immediately, eat at your own pace then leave just as quickly. It beats a sit down restaurant when you wait for your server then for the food while trying to keep yourself busy. Another great option for the solo diner is room service. Sure it can be pricey but its nice to do whatever you want while waiting for the food and you can watch TV while eating.

I have also found that 2 nights is about the max for me by myself. I may be a sucker… but thats when I start to miss my wife. Now I have been to Vegas 50+ times so I have no need to "see the sights" so you may be able to stretch it longer without excessive boredom but much more than that and the loneliness will start setting in.

With all that said… I have traveled quite a bit by myself for business and Vegas is probably the best city I have been to for solo travel. I hope this helps!
