According to the latest television commercials by Las Vegas tourism authorities, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Surely they are referring to the adventures of small-town business people and girls-weekend attendees who do things far outside of their comfort zone. Let us turn the statement around and consider the happenings in Vegas that work in favour of the traveler. What little known tidbits of information are floating around just waiting to be grabbed by those seeking a bit of an extra lift while in Vegas? Well, we have a few of them here! Take note.
Food and Drink Looking for a cheap steak dinner that hasn't sat under heat lamps while buffet-addicts cough and sneeze their way to the potato bar? Seek out Ellis Island, located on Koval Street and ask for the 'secret steak dinner'. It's not on the menu, so you need to be brave. But it's worth it. A steak and a beer for fewer than seven dollars is well worth it. Of course, there is also Stage Door, a bar that has beer under two dollars, three dollar bar food and three dollar cocktails; although they are probably the only off-casino place for inexpensive drinks.
Ignore all the gelato kiosks, the prices are ridiculous, plus you can have gelato from the grocery store that will probably taste a lot better and be cheaper. If you are really hard up for a drink, have lost all your cash to the slots; try scoping out guests who are celebrating their birthday with a bottle of champagne. Chances are they will be rowdy and generous, offering a drink to anyone wishing them a happy birthday. It's tacky, but it works.
Service Many travelers to Las Vegas are opting for a road trip rather than a flight. They have more control over their movements and do not have to be concerned with renting a vehicle or caring for it. Then there is the question of parking. If you plan to stay at a hotel or resort, make friends with the valets. Tip them, get to know them, chat with them. It will all pay off in their care of your car and the service you get. When others are waiting for service, you may be able to skip the line and get your car taken care of before everyone else.
The same is true of housekeepers and waiters. Tip your housekeeper well, and he or she may just be a little more attentive to your needs. If you plan to go to a club, endeavour to meet the lead VIP host. They will provide better service, more flexibility and remember you when you come back.
Las Vegas may be the cheap buffet capitol of the world, but finding that cheap buffet is not a secret - they are everywhere! The secrets to Las Vegas are in bypassing the mainstream tourist magnets and getting to places where only the really wealthy or the really clever can get to. What are your Vegas secrets?
