How to Party in Vegas on a Budget

Have a budget in mind – but do it before you take the first shot at the hotel pregame. A party planner can help you experience all of the glamour, excitement, and action Vegas has to offer without spending more than $200. Our dinner and limo combos start at under $100 per person. Add on a ticket to see the hunks in Thunder From Down Under, check out the carnival and spectacle, Absinthe, or experience the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent at Ru Paul’s Drag Race.

Sometimes being impulsive can be a good thing, like when you play a scratch ticket and win $25, and sometimes it can be bad, like giving yourself bags in the middle of an existential crisis bad. Waiting until you get to Vegas to figure this out isn’t the best thing for your wallet. Once you’ve decided you’re coming, do a little homework to help save you in the long run.

It’s happened to the best of us. You’re out having a good time, and all of a sudden, the bartender is announcing the last call, and you notice half of the group already left. It’s a good idea to collect money and give it to the group’s most trustworthy girl to hold.

This way, one person won’t be stuck footing the bill for Sarah’s three apple martinis and Rachel’s who-knows-how-many tequila shots. That’s never fun and always makes for a really awkward hangover conversation at the breakfast buffet the morning after.

Open bars are your new BFF. Las Vegas staples like Senor frogs and The Chandelier Bar have an open bar where you can get all of your favorite drinks by just paying a cover charge.

The drinks in Las Vegas are notoriously pricey. It’s not uncommon to go into a place that charges between $25-$30 for a drink. And we’re not talking anything fancy here; that’s the price for average drinks like gin & tonic or vodka & cranberry.
