"Do something crazy! Do something crazy!" -Asher Roth"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." We have all heard this slogan before about sin city and we've all learned every single line from the Hangover, but really what kind of trouble could a broke college student get into? Well my friends, you'd be surprised. This week I'm going to show you how to get a cheap flight + hotel package, tell you about some cool shows to go see, and fill you in on some other stuff you can't miss out when you come to Vegas.
Since I live in Virginia, my first thought was how I was going to get to Vegas and where I would stay. Luckily for those of us without a lot of cash, I found a great site that has flight and hotel packages for as low as $350, which includes round trip airfare and a two night stay in a hotel located on the strip. Of course this all depends where you're coming from, how long you want to stay, and where you want to stay. But still, $350 for all of that?! Sign me up!
Now that I at least have a way of getting out to Vegas and a cool place to stay, lets see what kind of entertainment Vegas has to offer. The same website that had those amazing hotel + flight packages (www.vegas.com), also has some pretty decent deals for show tickets. I had a little sticker shock when I checked out how much Criss Angel's Believe show would be (around $100), but I suppose for those with disposable income that $100 is a deal.
Here's the big shocker of this article...Vegas has a ton of clubs! According to a great website for hot clubs, there are a huge variety to pick from. From clubs that you've seen on MTV like the Palm's Ghost Bar, to lesser known clubs that still carry a big crowd like Tryst. With these clubs, you have to be 21 years or older, you have to sign yourself up on the guest list at least a week in advance and there is most likely a cover charge just to get into the club.
Not only is Vegas famous for it's incrediable shows and it's awesome night life, but of course gambling is it's most popular attraction. Many of the big hotels on the strip offer places to gamble, the biggest perk to gambling is as long as the waitress thinks you're sending your money into the long lost void that is gambling, YOU GET FREE DRINKS! Sounds like an awesome deal to me! Another long lost secret of Vegas is that hotels on the strip have amazing lobbies with free entertainment. For instance, if you take a trip down by the Flamingo Hotel and Casino, you can see a live animal exhibit where you can watch penguins eat and see pink flamingos clean their feathers...all for free! There's a whole list of really neat free stuff to do at this website.
After seeing The Hangover for about the millionth time, I think I have a pretty good idea of how to steal Mike Tyson's tiger, what kind of trouble I'll get into if I steal a cop car, and not to mess with small Asians, but there's so much else to do in Vegas and here's a list of sites to help you out:
