"I have lived in Las Vegas for around 5 years, and never thought Vegas food was particularly cheap. Since using this book I think I've rediscovered the good food deals that Vegas used to be famous for. I took my mum out for a chicken caesar salad lunch for $2.99 (her) New York steak and eggs $3.25 (me)... And I found pie and ice cream for $1.35. The book located a good spot for my first champagne brunch since I moved here for just $8.00 although the book lists one as cheap as $4.49. "

Timing is everything. Avoid busiest times of the year: holidays, spring and summer vacations, and large vacations.
Shop online. Check sites like orbitz.com, hotwire.com and priceline.com which will often give you a clue to their "low bid" on the site. The only drawback with Hotwire and Priceline is you can't choose your hotel.
If you can, before you decide on a hotel, ask about pricing on "extras": extra beds, cribs, rollaways and extra occupants. And about any extra charges for local phone calls, cable TV, and Internet connections.
Compare ALL factors before making your final decision.
Ask your hotel for free funbooks which often include 2 for 1 dinners and shows and discounted drinks.
Ask for everyone about discounts, special offers, freebies, comps. These are available at most Las Vegas hotels and casinos, but you need to ask for them.
Join the MGM Mirage Players Club and or "The One Club" to accrue credits for comped food, beverages and rooms.
Buy your own water and drinks at outside discount stores. Bring along a small ice cooler to keep your water and drinks cold and a hot pot to brew coffee or tea. This could save you $10 or more a day in refrigerator rental fees.
Use the free monorail system that goes between the hotels and casinos and the free public bus system. Ask for a schedule at your hotel or casino.
If you rent a car, ask your hotel and the casinos about free parking.. Most hotels and casino's offer free parking as a perk if you ask, because they want to give you a good reason to stay.
