Bellagio

When playing games at the casino, set a budget and stick to it. I learned the hard way that it’s easy to get carried away, especially when you’re having fun!

Sign up for the M Life Rewards program. It’s free, and you can score discounts on dining and other attractions. Perfect for saving some bucks!

If you’re into photography, visit in the morning. The lighting is magical, plus it’s way less crowded than in the afternoon.

Try the Bellagio Buffet for breakfast. It’s a bit pricey, but trust me, the variety is worth it. Just make sure to go right when it opens to avoid long lines.
M-G-M Grand

Take time to explore the surrounding area. I found some hidden gems off the Strip and grabbed great deals on souvenirs while walking around.

Try to see a show – the entertainment at MGM Grand is top-notch! I recommend booking your tickets online ahead of time to avoid long lines.

Check out the food court for a quick bite – it’s cheaper than the sit-down restaurants and offers a variety of options. I wish I had discovered it earlier in my visit!

Don’t miss the pool area. I was surprised by how relaxing it was after a busy day. Make sure to grab a lounge chair early in the day, though.
Luxor Hotel and Casino

Explore the property; the Luxor has some awesome themed attractions. I suggest going up to the observation deck for stunning views of Vegas, especially at sunset.
Check out the dining options early in the day! I found some great happy hour deals at the restaurants that saved me a good chunk

Don't skip the pool area! Plan to hit it in the late morning—it's less crowded, and you can snag a good lounge chair without the rush.

I recommend getting a players club card when you arrive; it can score you some sweet discounts on meals and shows. Totally worth it!
Treasure Island Hotel & Casino

I recommend arriving before 10 PM if you want a good spot to catch the pirate show outside, it's super popular! After that, it's harder to find a good view.

I suggest trying to explore the shops in the hotel, some of them offer good discounts! I found a great souvenir for way less than I expected.

My advice is to take a walk along the strip during the evening. It's beautiful and you'll find some hidden gems near Treasure Island that aren't in the big tourist guides.
El Cortez

Check out the vintage vibe of the casino. I recommend taking a few minutes to explore the history displays—they add a nice touch to your experience.

I noticed the best drink specials are during happy hour. My advice is to sip your cocktails between 5-7 PM to save some cash while enjoying the atmosphere.

If you want some quiet time, try visiting the casino floor later in the evening, like after 10 PM. It’s way more relaxed and easier to find a good spot to play.

The food at the deli is surprisingly good! Grab a bite during off-peak hours to avoid long lines, especially around lunchtime.
Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino

I suggest bringing a little cash for tips. With the service being so good, I wished I had cash for the staff but realized I only had a card.

For the best buffet experience, go just when it opens for lunch or dinner. I went around 1 PM, and the lines were crazy!

If you plan to eat at one of the restaurants, make a reservation! I didn't, and we had to wait over an hour. Not fun when you're hungry!

I recommend checking out the spa services before hitting the tables. The massages are really relaxing and can help if you're feeling stressed about gambling. Plus, they often have deals during weekdays.
Circus Circus Casino

If you can, visit during the week rather than the weekend. It's way less crowded and you can actually enjoy everything without feeling rushed. I went on a Wednesday and it was so chill!

I recommend downloading the Circus Circus app if they have one! It might give you some sweet deals or game info that can save you some time and cash. I found discounts on food that way!
Make sure to check out the free circus shows, they're really fun! I thought they were just for kids, but trust me, you'll enjoy them too! Just grab a seat early to get a good view.

If you're on a budget, avoid the fancy restaurants. There's a food court with decent options at pocket-friendly prices. I had some great tacos and didn't break the bank!
Stratosphere

If you're planning to ride the Big Shot, wear sneakers instead of flip flops! I almost lost my shoe and it was super uncomfortable. Ugh!

I recommend going on a Monday or Tuesday; it's less crowded and you can enjoy the rides without a long wait. I went on a Saturday and waited forever!

Look for promotions or coupons online. I found some that scored me discounts on food and games. Made my trip more budget-friendly!

My advice is to buy your tickets online in advance. I accidentally purchased at the gate and there was a price hike! Don't make my mistake.
Golden Nugget Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

For food, I think the steakhouse is overrated. I found a local taco place nearby that was way cheaper and much tastier!

If you’re into shows, I suggest booking them ahead of time. I learned the hard way that popular ones can sell out fast, depending on the season.
If you're planning to hit the pool, I recommend going early, like around 9 AM, to snag a good lounge chair. It gets packed super quickly!

Parking can be a pain, so try to use rideshares instead. I found it saves time and money, plus you avoid the hassle of finding a spot
The Mirage

Take some time to explore the art and exhibits inside the Mirage; my favorite was the secret garden! It’s not as crowded, and it gives a nice break from the casino vibes.
