About Las Vegas and How Discounts Factor In

Las Vegas is a city of dazzling lights, stunning casinos, elegant shopping, extravagant clubs, breathtaking shows, and my favorite, world-class food. In Las Vegas, you’ll find restaurants run by the world’s finest chefs, opulent spas, and some of the most sophisticated hotels in the world, all of which have their own special theme that caters to almost all likes and interests. So why do people come here in the first place? Well mostly for the casinos and partying, hence the name “Sin City”. But mainly because there is simply no other place on Earth like it. And luckily for you, Las Vegas is teeming with military discounts left and right!

3 Ways to Experience Vegas on a Budget

Las Vegas is a location with a reputation for big spending, big spenders (Whales), and big bargains. Keep reading as we run down our top four tips and treasures for the budget-minded deal hunter. Go Mid-Week There’s no secret that as one of America’s premier destinations, you’ll expect that weekends are when Vegas kicks into high gear and high room occupancy, hotels raise rates, increased minimums at casino tables, and access to my favorite buffet spots get harder to secure seating. To make your hard-earned money go further, visit mid-week, typically Monday through Thursday.

Get Around For Less With a few miles of ground to cover from one end of the legendary “Strip” to the other, you may want to try the Las Vegas Monorail, a safe, comfortable, environment while exploring the wonders of the Las Vegas Strip. The Monorail has seven stations, located at MGM Grand, Bally’s/Paris Las Vegas, Flamingo/Caesars Palace, Harrah’s/The LINQ, Las Vegas Convention Center, Westgate Las Vegas and the SLS Las Vegas Station.

For areas not serviced by the monorail, sign up for Lyft and get $20 in ride credits. Click HERE.

Buffet Insanity You will find some spectacular dining options on and around the Strip but none compare to the mystical varieties of Vegas’ buffets, the stuff of legend. Looking to score two meals in one, then the brunch buffet is where you want to go. There is an endless supply of buffets in and around the Strip, but for the most bang for your buck, Caesars Entertainment offers a Buffet of Buffets 24-hour pass that allows guests to enjoy the buffets at almost all their properties.

Passes can be purchased at participating Total Rewards® Centers (excluding Planet Hollywood) or at the cashier stands at any of the participating buffets – Caesars Palace: Bacchanal® Buffet**; Flamingo: Paradise Garden Buffet; Harrah's Las Vegas: Flavors, The Buffet; Paris: Le Village Buffet; Planet Hollywood: Spice Market Buffet®; Rio: Carnival World & Seafood Buffet®.**

** Upgrade your pass to include Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace and Carnival World & Seafood Buffet at Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino.

Bacchanal Upgrade cost:
Breakfast $15/visit
Brunch/Lunch $25/visit
Dinner $30/visit
Carnival World & Seafood Buffet Upgrade cost: $25/visit irrespective of the meal period

Ranger Tip: Buy the pass and start with a late dinner. Then, wake up the next morning and enjoy an entire day of fantastic buffet meals starting with breakfast, then try a different location for lunch, and different place again for an earlier dinner (that’s two dinners in 24 hours). Off-Strip Attraction One of Las Vegas’ premier attractions to explore the valley’s vibrant history is The Springs Preserve. Chalked packed with multimedia and multiple themed museum activities featuring natural and cultural displays, including special events and live indoor animal demonstrations. No better whole-family experience around and with military discount ticket prices at 50% off per person, even better.

Resorts and Hotels

Las Vegas is home to some of the most modern, elegant, and technologically advanced hotels in the world. These architectural marvels are no less than spectacular during the day, but at night, the bright and vivid neon lights create the famous Las Vegas skyline we are all accustomed too. Now I understand that in Las Vegas, you must be over 21 to book a hotel room, so instead of going into great detail of the hotels, I decided just to give you brief, yet very informative information about each Las Vegas hotel that I believe will be very suitable for you. Many of the iconic and luxury hotels reside on the Strip either at the North end, Center area, or South end of Las Vegas Boulevard. There’s also great hotels downtown, the West side of the Strip, and parallel to the Strip on Paradise Road.

I went to the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris the end of 2010, and it was 2 for 1 military. Penn & Teller at the Rio also offered 2 for 1 military, and the roller coaster has a discounted rate for active duty (can’t remember how much). Those are the few I’ve experienced firsthand which weren’t listed. Terry Fator also recognized all military in the crowd when I went last year.

Catherine,

Thank you for providing info on additional discounts that you have experienced. We will integrate them into the site. We saw Terry Fader’s Las Vegas show last January and appreciated the military shout- out as well. His show was awesome by the way and offer a significant military discount.

Some discpunt not there. I fought with the secret garden ticket booth for an hour until amanager finally took three bucks off. They state they do not do military discounts. EExcalibur does not do the ten buck deal either. They told me that was years ago. Be cateful if u think u have it planned for discounts. It was VERY disappointing all these discounts and other from other sites that dont occur.

I’m wondering how often is this site updated because the Lions Habitat at MGM was discontinued years ago. For reference purposes, today is 28 June 2016. I am a Army Veteran.
