I’ve learned to bring my own alcohol 😂 sounds dumb but it’s smart honestly. Pregame as much as possible. Walk around with a few drinks before grabbing more outside of your room. Also to book promotions like $50 food credit and $20 free play! Super useful. That $50 pays for buffet passes… and the buffets are always a yes 🔥 and MyVEGAS of course. Best money saver honestly!
Booking direct is the way to go...also , coming and going on weekdays rather than weekends..! I've worked in hotels for some time now. . .Those prices jump right up on Fri & Sat nights! Helpful info as always Ruby! Thanks ...!
So, Travel Ruby is my Mom and Dad’s favorite RUclips Channel. They traveled to Vegas while this was being filmed and just happened to run into her. They were so excited! They met her and said she was very nice. 3:06 That’s them in line behind her. You can see my Dad clock that it’s her and get excited 😂😂😂
Definitely join the rewards and let them know how much you are spending. I took your advice last year when we stayed at the Bellagio and charged most things to the room and used my MGM players card when gambling. A year later, I got an offer from MGM in my email and we just booked a trip with 3 comped nights. This is after ONE trip to Vegas. It's saving us a ton on our next trip! We booked Park MGM! Love you Ruby! I'm so glad your channel is doing so well! 🥰
It's nothing for them to give you a free hotel room it just means that you are willing to spend a lot of money and that you'll come back and spend a whole bunch more money. You're paying for it in your gambling and your overpriced meals.
Coming to Vegas for the first time in October. I think I’ve watched every single one of your videos. Travel Ruby knows her stuff folks. Thanks for all the great tips! 😎
we like 4Queens downtown. Its a very conservative hotel, less expensive. It's not flashy. BUT it is right on Fremont street and all that goes on there. There's the cafe in the hotel that over looks Fremont street which is always fun to eat and watch the people.
Number one tip,,,,,,,,,,,,, Swerve this Thieving, Melting Pot of Faeces,,,,,,,,,,,,,, S hithole of the first order,,,,,,,,,,, Its a human Scrapyard,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
We book directly with the hotel, but we call the hotel and work with the host to find the best price. Expedia was triple the price of what we got through the hotel. We normally stay at the same hotel, so that helps getting the best price.
We stay at the Wynn Encore about three times a year. We bring a travel size drip coffee maker and a 7-cup Zero Pitcher (purchased on Amazon) for as much purified water and coffee as we want. I throw a few empty water bottle in the luggage to put creamer and water in when we get to the hotel. I will get creamer at Walgreens or from the cafe. I’ll fill the ice bucket with ice to keep the creamer cold. I set up a little bistro in the bathroom and it works great. We save at least $150 on water and coffee on a four day trip.
My biggest tip for saving money which you sort of covered is GO BIG one time and then never pay for a room again. Maybe it’s different for a more frequent traveler but for someone like me who goes to Vegas once maybe twice a year, I never pay for a room. For my 30th, my fiance and I went to Cosmo, booked a room for 3 nights with an Identity (now MGM rewards) account. Had dinners at the resort, gambled there, made sure we used our rewards card with everything. Ever since that trip, I have never had to pay for a room at the Cosmo. I’ve gone back at least 4 or 5 times. I use miles for my flights from NY, stay there for free and all my money goes to food and gambling. And while yes, all the comps are there to take my money at the Casino, last time I was there I left $5700 up from Roulette and Craps. Sooo take that Vegas!!!
Heres a few things Booking direct: If you have the gold rewards with Caesars, you can easily get comped to $50 a night before resort fees at Linq, Harrah's, and a few others. I went this spring to Vegas for Sick New World and trip was from Tuesday to Saturday and my total room cost was $355. Cheap food: Either use MyVegas for food options or go the Linq Promenade. If you need to move around the strip, monorails and the deuce will be your friend. 24 hour bus pass is $8 and goes all the way from the airport to Fremont strip.
I just want to mention that I have always gotten better rates through Expedia than I have booking directly and I have never had an issue with a hotel cancelling my Expedia reservation. That might not be everyone's experience but it's been mine and I travel there frequently.
I was browsing the Expedia site last night for a trip into that area in Nov. Now, I am nervous about booking through Expedia. Lol. I had the circumstances to happen to myself, but the site was Priceline. I was visiting Mobile. Ala, reserved and paid for the room at the Admiral hotel. The reservation wasn't in the system. I am glad I brought a paper copy of the reservation, etc. The hotel front desk was kind and worked the circumstances out. Thank goodness. 😅😅😅. Sending positivity from Texas
I work in hotels, every place has a different policy but the last place I worked and my current job doesn’t allow you to cancel thru us if you use Expedia. We constantly have people for Expedia calling trying to “authorize a cancellation” if you book thru Expedia, you have to cancel thru Expedia. So that may be where some of peoples frustrations come from with them.
I always boom through Expedia no matter where I am vacationing and never have had a problem and usually save 30-50% over booking direct. Also, if you are a member of their loyalty problem they give additional discounts of credits.
When I can, I try to schedule my trips so that they cross 2 calendar months. SOME places give out comps on a monthly basis. You can collect your free play and food comps twice in one stay.
You're gonna have fun! Don't listen to ppl who say you'll spend a kidney and a liver. I spent well under 1k and had a blast. Going again in a day! Enjoy Vegas 😎
For anyone driving to Vegas and staying on the strip, a tip is to always bring a small cooler with you and a pack of water bottles (and whatever other drinks you wanna keep in your room) in your room and fill up your cooler from the ice machine on your floor to keep your drinks cold especially in the summer! Most of the strip hotels dont have an empty fridge that you can store your own things in- they usually will have their own provided items that cost an arm and a leg. You end up saving tons on cold water this way!
This is awesome Ruby. We save money by traveling Fulltime in our RV and we stay at the military base in north vegas and We will be in Vegas for the winter and hope to meet you. Have an awesome day.
The Bellagio tram only goes to Park MGM with a stop at Crystals/Aria. There is another separate tram that goes from Excalibur to Mandalay Bay with a stop at Luxor. But you can't get to Mandalay Bay from Bellagio on one tram ride.
Great Video Ruby. We go to Vegas often and it was great to hear that based on your tips we are doing it right. You are by far the most helpful resource we follow. Thanks and keep up the great work 😊
As a Vegas local I can tell you this is an excellent video! Great tips. Taxi are shady, we avoid. The $20 tricks DOES work but ONLY if they actually have rooms. Works better on weekdays. Fuel Bar is also a great buy one get one, Brazilian Margaritas are 🔥
Number one tip,,,,,,,,,,,,, Swerve this Thieving, Melting Pot of Faeces,,,,,,,,,,,,,, S hithole of the first order,,,,,,,,,,, Its a human Scrapyard,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Lol amazing, paused the video after you mentioned hotel rates dropping to check on my res in a few weeks, and saved $50 with a 5 minute phone call 🙏🙏🙏 will keep checking too!
My favorite ways to save money are packing a hot water kettle to make morning tea and oatmeal for breakfast. Packing snacks like apples, pretzels, and granola bars while out and about. Plus eating at the food courts or visiting a grocery store for grab and go items. We often stay at Mandalay Bay and visit the Whole Foods nearby for their salad bar. Dining out at lunch is often lower cost than dinner menus and I like to pick up some salsa and chips from the store for evening snacks in the room. My Vegas gave us free tickets to the Illuminarium recently which saved us $35 per person. Love your videos!
Great tips! Mine is to stay off the strip and use the bus or if you have a car park at Fashion Show mall. Ruby, the top you're wearing is lovely, really suits you.
great video and great tips!! what about a video about how to save TIME while on vacation in Vegas? My last few trips there just wasn't enough time to do what I wanted to do.
Just checked room rates for the Venetian on Nov 4-8 2024. Rates dropped $2000.00!!!!! The only reason I called was because of this Video. Thank you Travel Ruby!!!!
I was told about the upgrade tip before i went to vegas for the first time by a virgin broadband installer,.. im from the uk, and he told me to slip a cheeky 50 in my passport on check in and ask for a upgrade, i was like nah that cant work.. it did.. they upgraded me and gave me $150 hotel credit as it was a special occation.. amazing tip
Ruby's suggestion of bringing your own coffee maker to Vegas is a great one! Tremendous savings in terms of money and convenience. I bought a 1-cup Hamilton Beach coffee maker for about $30. You can order the filters on line. I can have 2-3 cups in my room in the morning at very low cost.
We drive to Vegas, but the best thing we have figured for that is a packed cooler, snacks, and the coffee machine going in the car. Have saved soooo much over the years! 🎉 Even better if you have the bell desk bring up everything for just a nice tip!
I’ve been to Vegas like 30 times and I still learned something (several really) from this. The reward programs and Lift/Uber comparisons were great tips! One that I have found over the years is what we call Hotel Roulette. If something is wrong with your room, respectfully let the front desk know and act really disappointed (again, VERY respectfully). Most times we got upgraded because of it. Thanks for the video. How about one on unique high end food experiences? 😊
A money saving tip for us is we like staying at South Point and using their coupon book that you find in your room after you check in. At their steakhouse and Italian restaurants you get a bottle of the wine of the month with two entrees. Last week it was a Cabernet from Washington State.
My tips: Use public transportation ($5 for 24 hr pass with purchase on the bus) - u can use the 108 or 109 from the airport to the south terminal then catch the Deuce to the Strip, don't come on the weekends, arrange for a 3-night timeshare presentation with Wyndham or Marriott for $199 (you will get back $100 after attending the 2-hr presentation + hotel points) for your hotel accommodations.
i would throw in get an LVA membership book (las vegas advisor) lots of coupons for match play free play discounted meals and more hundreds of dollars of value for cheap, it’s mostly for off strip and downtown properties but still totally worth getting!
We stayed at TI it was convenient having the CVS right there!! We are beer drinkers and we bought 18 packs and saved a lot of money!! We love in and out burger and he loves Gordon Ramsey fish and chips( little pricey) but it’s theeee best!! We also did the Wicked Spoon buffet and loved that too!!
I’ve used several myvegas room comps, and I’ve saved hundreds just on room rates. Last year, I booked a standard room at NYNY and paid just $35 for an upgrade to a stay well strip view room on the 26th floor of the New Yorker tower, and even got a view of Sphere 😄. I’m still waiting to see when Cosmopolitan is added to the rewards on myvegas, though I did just see it on the MGM rewards app. I just booked a room at Park MGM for our anniversary in September via myvegas. Gonna try my luck with the $20 trick. 😅🤞🏻
Would love you to a video for best way to book a Vegas stay for us Brits coming from the UK. I’m always a little scared about booking a hotel direct and separate flights. My favourite hotel is The Signature at MGM Grand and I would love you to do a review on it too. The one-bedroom balcony suite is amazing especially if you’re staying in Vegas for a couple of weeks. Love watching your channel! xx💖
Use to bring gallons of liquor to Vegas. Save weight. Invest in rum runners. People use them to sneak liquor on cruise ships but they're battle tested for suitcases and won't have to worry about glass bottles of alcohol breaking in your checked bag. They're also travel friendly for purses and backpacks while walking the strip. Also a drink jug to walk with. Water or other. I drink a lot in vegas.......ALOT. used the my Vegas app got comped a room at the bellagio. Rooms were going for 450 that might. Got a free upgrade to a 1 bedroom spa suite on the top floor. 1000 dollar room. 2 for 1 brunch at the bellagio and mgm grand. Try not to pay full price for anything in Vegas
Another great video, we re subscribers from the UK and regular Vegas visitors, and your tips have been brilliant. Have you ever been to see a game at the Vegas ballpark? If not, that would be a fun video. Thanks again
You remind me so much of my daughter she is a super couponer she will sniff out ways to save money all the time people in general are too lazy to seek out ways to save money good thing you around to educate the masses appreciate you Ruby🎉
Many years ago I went to the Venetian and didn’t know about the sensor mini bar - I moved everything out to make room for groceries my local friend was bringing. (Btw she was able to tip her way into my room) and was waiting for me - laughing about the empty mini fridge! I got the charges reversed but it was so wild. This was in 2008ish
@@brians7560 Sure, when you eat at a restaurant at a place you are staying instead of paying the bill you can ask to "charge the bill" to your room. Then you pay the total balance at checkout. Occasionally you can ask for items on that bill to be comped depending on how much you have spent. Hope that helps. I make content in Vegas also so I use these tips weekly
I have also started charging all restaurants to my room to consolidate my spending. Just before check out, I have gone to the rewards desk of the hotel I am staying at to ask for comps. They have always rejected my requests, which is even more frustrating bc I often wait over 30 min in line only to get rejected in 2 min. What desk at the hotel should I be talking to to have the best odds of getting serious consideration for even little comps? @travelruby
@@jchen1436 We usually ask at the check out desk. You can be specific when asking. I often ask to have the resort fee waved at a minimum. I say something like, "did I spend enough to at least get our resort fee waived?" Works about half the time but depends on what we spend. Hope that helps some, cheers
@@jchen1436 You could try the casino host but they only care about what is attached to your players card. Also, use your players card when booking so it shows up as rewards points or money spent. You probably already do that but had to mention it.
Ruby, my ultimate money saving LVNV tip is to stop at WALMART on the way from the airport to the hotel, and stock up on cases of water, energy drinks, iced coffees, etc, as well as snacks like cliff bars and other on-the-go snacks. And don't forget a little bit of alcohol for the room! The waters are, honestly, my #1 Vegas hack, and it's something that so many first-timers don't think about. Getting water in Vegas is hard/expensive, but spending $15 for 4 cases of water for your room will go a long way towards the dreaded Vegas dehydration hangover. The snacks are great if you want to hit the pool early, and don't want to spend $40 on breakfast on property. And having a Cliff bar before heading out for the night helps avoid drunk food purchases.
Yup we do this too except we go to Target. We always rent a car at the airport for our stay and then go straight to Target to stock up on water and snacks before we get to our hotel.
This is a great video. Hubs and I have been to Vegas twice, and each time we came Sunday-Wednesday. Flights (from Cincinnati) were more than I wanted to spend both times. Tuesday-Friday saves around $100 each. Brilliant! Also, I never thought about charging everything to the room, and that would have helped us on our last trip for sure. We stayed at the Bellagio in a Salone Suite - definitely not money saving but worth it! :)
I like getting bags of almonds and any other keto snacks for the room at cvs! I share my lunch with my sister and usually eat early at The Wicked Spoon and last time it included coffee for free!
Hubs and I always rent a car and eat at a bunch of off-strip restaurants. Quality is great and prices are a third of strip prices. We also use the Caesar’s Reward Visa card throughout the year and use the earned points when we check out.
Great video Ruby, and lots of wonderful tips! Some rooms no longer have refrigerators or the refrigerators are used for the minibar items. The daily charge for a refrigerator can be expensive. You can get a free refrigerator if you tell them that you have medication that requires refrigeration. I actually do have medication that requires refrigeration, but I can tell you that they I’ve never asked to look at it. Even if you fib to get a free refrigerator, and you don’t have any medication, I don’t feel it’s that bad , as you are paying such large resort fees. Sometimes the refrigerators are small, but they are still good for keeping a few drinks and items cold.
I love the tip for checking Uber & Lyftat the same time. I paid way to much money getting a cab from one hotel to another 😉 while sitting at the traffic lights…
Get the players club account/card before you book. Book direct, and try to get middle priced hotel/casono. Also, stay near where you think youll enjoy the area. Pace yourself for spending and set a gambling limit.
I LOVE your tips and tricks for Vegas! We went to Blondies for breakfast and it was so good and cheap! Got the 2 for 1 coupon for thr Bellagio buffet thru MyVegas app. Tier matched thru MGM, charged everything to our room at the Bellagio and now I am Gold thru Jan 2026. It was so relaxing and using your tricks SAVED us LOTS of $$$. THANK YOU for all this great content!
I am coming in September to Excalibur from Manchester, England. I plan to eat one meal a day and live off snacks for the rest haha. First time to Las Vegas!
@@algernon5776 sadly i can't afford to! This trip is costing me a fortune. I have read some of the reviews online, I am going with an open mind. :) if it's that bad i will deal with it when i am there haha.
Great Video Mrs Ruby 👏🏽 Attention: Bring A insulated Backpack 🎒 For Ice 🧊 Cubes From Your Hotel 🏨 Ice Machine To Put Waters, Gatorade Bottles In Bc Hotel Rooms Do Not Have Refrigerators In Them Anymore +++ Vibes Always From Las Vegas

If you really want to save money on getting to and from the airport take the airport shuttle.
Can’t forget the Jockey Club convenience store! It’s our stop for cheap food and drinks when we stay at the Cosmo.
My favorite money saving tip when coming to Las Vegas is to watch Travel Ruby before I go !!!😅😅😅😅
Totally agree
💯
Best comment !!! 🙂
So, Travel Ruby is my Mom and Dad’s favorite RUclips Channel. They traveled to Vegas while this was being filmed and just happened to run into her. They were so excited! They met her and said she was very nice.

The Bellagio tram only goes to Park MGM with a stop at Crystals/Aria. There is another separate tram that goes from Excalibur to Mandalay Bay with a stop at Luxor. But you can't get to Mandalay Bay from Bellagio on one tram ride.
That’s true, that’s the path I always take, you have to get off and walk through New York New York and up to Excalibur.
She was completely wrong when she said that. I wonder if she confused it with the monorail? Pretty silly.
I think she was probably just trying to give a simple answer. Yes, she was misleading. But likely just trying to be efficient.

My tips: Use public transportation ($5 for 24 hr pass with purchase on the bus) - u can use the 108 or 109 from the airport to the south terminal then catch the Deuce to the Strip, don't come on the weekends, arrange for a 3-night timeshare presentation with Wyndham or Marriott for $199 (you will get back $100 after attending the 2-hr presentation + hotel points) for your hotel accommodations.
Asking for comp upgrades works most of the time!! Ruby thanks for highlighting this again.
i would throw in get an LVA membership book (las vegas advisor) lots of coupons for match play free play discounted meals and more hundreds of dollars of value for cheap, it’s mostly for off strip and downtown properties but still totally worth getting!
We stayed at TI it was convenient having the CVS right there!! We are beer drinkers and we bought 18 packs and saved a lot of money!! We love in and out burger and he loves Gordon Ramsey fish and chips( little pricey) but it’s theeee best!! We also did the Wicked Spoon buffet and loved that too!!
Coming in October & can't wait & already use the tram for MGM properties...thank you for your great videos 🌺
I’ve used several myvegas room comps, and I’ve saved hundreds just on room rates. Last year, I booked a standard room at NYNY and paid just $35 for an upgrade to a stay well strip view room on the 26th floor of the New Yorker tower, and even got a view of Sphere 😄. I’m still waiting to see when Cosmopolitan is added to the rewards on myvegas, though I did just see it on the MGM rewards app. I just booked a room at Park MGM for our anniversary in September via myvegas. Gonna try my luck with the $20 trick. 😅🤞🏻
Would love you to a video for best way to book a Vegas stay for us Brits coming from the UK. I’m always a little scared about booking a hotel direct and separate flights. My favourite hotel is The Signature at MGM Grand and I would love you to do a review on it too. The one-bedroom balcony suite is amazing especially if you’re staying in Vegas for a couple of weeks. Love watching your channel! xx💖
Use to bring gallons of liquor to Vegas. Save weight. Invest in rum runners. People use them to sneak liquor on cruise ships but they're battle tested for suitcases and won't have to worry about glass bottles of alcohol breaking in your checked bag. They're also travel friendly for purses and backpacks while walking the strip. Also a drink jug to walk with. Water or other. I drink a lot in vegas.......ALOT. used the my Vegas app got comped a room at the bellagio. Rooms were going for 450 that might. Got a free upgrade to a 1 bedroom spa suite on the top floor. 1000 dollar room. 2 for 1 brunch at the bellagio and mgm grand. Try not to pay full price for anything in Vegas
Best video in a long while. Thanks Ruby.
Another great video, we re subscribers from the UK and regular Vegas visitors, and your tips have been brilliant. Have you ever been to see a game at the Vegas ballpark? If not, that would be a fun video. Thanks again
You’re amazing! 💕 🤗Excellent information!
Thank you so much!!!
You remind me so much of my daughter she is a super couponer she will sniff out ways to save money all the time people in general are too lazy to seek out ways to save money good thing you around to educate the masses appreciate you Ruby🎉
Another great video! Thanks for the tips Ruby!
Many years ago I went to the Venetian and didn’t know about the sensor mini bar - I moved everything out to make room for groceries my local friend was bringing. (Btw she was able to tip her way into my room) and was waiting for me - laughing about the empty mini fridge! I got the charges reversed but it was so wild. This was in 2008ish
I just got home from vegas yesterday, the bellagio tram goes to park mgm / aria not Mandalay bay!
You can take a tram from excalibur to Mandalay bay
Charging to room will almost always get your resort fee waved! Do it all the time 😊
charge what to room? can you elaborate?
@@brians7560 Sure, when you eat at a restaurant at a place you are staying instead of paying the bill you can ask to "charge the bill" to your room. Then you pay the total balance at checkout. Occasionally you can ask for items on that bill to be comped depending on how much you have spent. Hope that helps. I make content in Vegas also so I use these tips weekly
I have also started charging all restaurants to my room to consolidate my spending. Just before check out, I have gone to the rewards desk of the hotel I am staying at to ask for comps. They have always rejected my requests, which is even more frustrating bc I often wait over 30 min in line only to get rejected in 2 min. What desk at the hotel should I be talking to to have the best odds of getting serious consideration for even little comps? @travelruby
@@jchen1436 We usually ask at the check out desk. You can be specific when asking. I often ask to have the resort fee waved at a minimum. I say something like, "did I spend enough to at least get our resort fee waived?" Works about half the time but depends on what we spend. Hope that helps some, cheers
@@jchen1436 You could try the casino host but they only care about what is attached to your players card. Also, use your players card when booking so it shows up as rewards points or money spent. You probably already do that but had to mention it.
Las Vegas has some good tips. Thank you..
Great, Great information! Hope you are staying hydrated and cool with those high temps. Can’t wait to head to Reno and hope to see you there. 😊
I love these videos, Ruby! I use most of these tips myself. Especially the my Vegas app. You can rack up some good offers.
Good video. I like to save money visiting Vegas. Hopefully I get there this fall. Keep up the good work. Alita from nc
Ruby, my ultimate money saving LVNV tip is to stop at WALMART on the way from the airport to the hotel, and stock up on cases of water, energy drinks, iced coffees, etc, as well as snacks like cliff bars and other on-the-go snacks. And don't forget a little bit of alcohol for the room!
The waters are, honestly, my #1 Vegas hack, and it's something that so many first-timers don't think about. Getting water in Vegas is hard/expensive, but spending $15 for 4 cases of water for your room will go a long way towards the dreaded Vegas dehydration hangover.
The snacks are great if you want to hit the pool early, and don't want to spend $40 on breakfast on property. And having a Cliff bar before heading out for the night helps avoid drunk food purchases.
@@kensloat89 brilliant! I always tell my friends to do this when they visit. It’s a huge advantage 👏
Can't you just do walmart delivery and get it sent to your hotel? Their delivery fee is so small.
@@karalewis8654 The hotel may not allow that, especially as it means you're not spending money in their restaurants.
Yup we do this too except we go to Target. We always rent a car at the airport for our stay and then go straight to Target to stock up on water and snacks before we get to our hotel.
Can't you bring bottle water in check luggage or not?
This is a great video. Hubs and I have been to Vegas twice, and each time we came Sunday-Wednesday. Flights (from Cincinnati) were more than I wanted to spend both times. Tuesday-Friday saves around $100 each. Brilliant! Also, I never thought about charging everything to the room, and that would have helped us on our last trip for sure. We stayed at the Bellagio in a Salone Suite - definitely not money saving but worth it! :)
Thank you so much for the tips I love it. I have couple of trips planned to Vegas. Am going to booked direct. 👍🏻
I'm glad I saw your video Ruby. I just saved $500 per room at the Palazzo by calling into check the rates! Your videos are awesome!
Just adjusted my room rate today for treasure island. Saved me 45 bucks!
Excellent info, Ruby!
Great Video, I like when you give those insider tips.
I like getting bags of almonds and any other keto snacks for the room at cvs! I share my lunch with my sister and usually eat early at The Wicked Spoon and last time it included coffee for free!
Going to Vegas for 3 days end sep before heading off on a road trip ending up in Texas…
These tips will be so useful…
Thank you…
excellent room rate hack- lots of great info here. Cheers!
Hubs and I always rent a car and eat at a bunch of off-strip restaurants. Quality is great and prices are a third of strip prices. We also use the Caesar’s Reward Visa card throughout the year and use the earned points when we check out.
Catch all the free shows- fountain show, aquariums, luxor light etc
Don't sleep on ABC store for drinks. There are several locations.
Great video Ruby, and lots of wonderful tips! Some rooms no longer have refrigerators or the refrigerators are used for the minibar items. The daily charge for a refrigerator can be expensive. You can get a free refrigerator if you tell them that you have medication that requires refrigeration. I actually do have medication that requires refrigeration, but I can tell you that they I’ve never asked to look at it. Even if you fib to get a free refrigerator, and you don’t have any medication, I don’t feel it’s that bad , as you are paying such large resort fees. Sometimes the refrigerators are small, but they are still good for keeping a few drinks and items cold.
Great video! I haven’t paid resort fees in 4.5 years. Platinum at MGM and Diamond Plus at Caesars.
I love the tip for checking Uber & Lyftat the same time. I paid way to much money getting a cab from one hotel to another 😉 while sitting at the traffic lights…
👍 Very useful thanks!
Great job as always on the tips
I have 3 pages of notes from your various videos. Thanks for this.
Thanks you saved us over $1000 on our pre paid room reservation at the Encore! We are pumped!
Get the players club account/card before you book.
Book direct, and try to get middle priced hotel/casono.
Also, stay near where you think youll enjoy the area.
Pace yourself for spending and set a gambling limit.
Planning our 20th wedding anniversary! On a budget Thank you. Glad i fought your channel!!!
I LOVE your tips and tricks for Vegas! We went to Blondies for breakfast and it was so good and cheap! Got the 2 for 1 coupon for thr Bellagio buffet thru MyVegas app. Tier matched thru MGM, charged everything to our room at the Bellagio and now I am Gold thru Jan 2026. It was so relaxing and using your tricks SAVED us LOTS of $$$. THANK YOU for all this great content!
love your channel , you're the best!!
Love your videos...I love vegas...thank you
I am coming in September to Excalibur from Manchester, England. I plan to eat one meal a day and live off snacks for the rest haha. First time to Las Vegas!
Hot dog and beer is $4 in few places a kettle and some instant noodles does the trick too lol
Have fun!! But September is still warm so make sure the pack accordingly and stay hydrated.
If you can change your hotel 🏨 do it. Excalibur is rated the #1 worse hotel it is a dump
@@algernon5776 sadly i can't afford to! This trip is costing me a fortune. I have read some of the reviews online, I am going with an open mind. :) if it's that bad i will deal with it when i am there haha.
@@melanieg760 going middle to end of September, will i need to pack a jacket or not? Thank you too !
You’re the Best Ruby!!!❤
Ruby I love your channel! :)
