How to Eat in Las Vegas on the Cheap. There's plenty of cheap (and excellent) food to be found in Las Vegas right along with those fancy (and expensive) five-star restaurants.

If you're a gambler, you might even be able to get food for free - although you'll probably pay for it with the money you're likely to lose at the slots.

 

7 Steps To Eat İn Las Vegas On The Cheap

How to Eat in Las Vegas on the Cheap

 

1. Buy A Budget Travel Guide To Las Vegas Before You Leave Home

Pay special attention to the dining section for an overview of the budget restaurant scene.

 

2. Search The Web For Restaurant İnformation İncluding Reviews, Tips On Where To Save Money And Listings By Area

 

3. Ask At Your Hotel About Special Offers For Nearby Restaurants

The staff may be able to provide you with coupons or discounts.

 

4. Look For Local Publications That Feature Current Ads, Coupons Or Discounts For Las Vegas Dining

Or, stop by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and inquire about special deals.

 

5. Stick To Buffets İf You Have A Big Appetite

Nearly all the casinos offer buffets, and some are available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are generally discounts for kids, and small children can often eat free.

 

6. See "get Free Food İn Las Vegas" İn Related Ourdeer For İnformation On How To Obtain Discounted Or Free Meals At Casinos

Note that these perks are usually available only to gamblers.

 

7. Avoid Casinos And Choose From The Large Variety Of Sandwich Shops, Fast-food Restaurants And Chain Diners İn Town

These are the cheapest way to go, although they may not be that much cheaper than a weekday buffet.

 

Tips and Warnings

  • If you eat at a buffet, you can probably get along on only two meals a day. Fill up at breakfast and you're likely to be fine until dinner; or, you can eat a big lunch and skip dinner altogether.
  • Most casinos have a variety of restaurants, from casual cafes to grand (and expensive) theme restaurants or dining rooms featuring world-class chefs. Choose the cafes unless you want to splurge for a special occasion.
  • Buffet prices are best from Monday through Thursday. On weekends, prices can be substantially higher.
