Over the years, after sifting through multiple properties and trying out all sorts of casinos and restaurants, we've disco vered some of our favorite places to eat, drink, gamble and stay that won't break the bank. In between, we have stayed at all other types of resorts and evolved in how we like to spend our time, now leaning more toward outdoors activities, shows and fine meals and away from the gambling and drinking (well, heavy drinking at least).īut two things have always been the same about our trips to Las Vegas: We go to relax in the sun and aim to save a little money along the way. In fact, we got married in Las Vegas - surrounded by friends and family who made the trip for the destination nuptials and celebration - and spent the night at a posh wedding suite at the New York - New York Hotel and Casino. Yes, we both stuck with the engagement despite our altered states that evening on The Strip, and we have been married for 10 years. I've gotten engaged in Las Vegas while on a trip with my girlfriend and two other friends after a night of massive beer consumption. I've done the f rugal guys trip with five in a room in a worn-down budget hotel casino called San Remo, which no longer exists. I've been to Las Vegas more than a dozen times - and enjoyed it in many ways.
