Glitz, Glamour, Gambling, Golfing, Gastronomy - Las Vegas has it all! Including price tags to go with it. Here are some tips for enjoying Las Vegas on the cheap. You really can afford to treat the entire family to this fun and exciting town, or have a memorable vacation on a retiree's budget.
First of all, rent a timeshare. Timeshares in Las Vegas can be as inexpensive as $50/night for a unit that sleeps 4. You'll get relaxing space (forget cramped hotel rooms) and resort amenities such as pools, hot tubs and tennis for one low price. A kitchen is also included - full-size and fully equipped, often including a dishwasher - to cut down on the cost of meals.
Yes, there are wildly expensive headliner shows in abundance, but did you know that there are also many attractions that are just plain Free? Start with the spectacular Freemont Street Experience. Held after dark in downtown Las Vegas, this light show, accompanied by sound, is projected on a permanent canopy 90 feet high that covers 5 blocks. Just prior to the starting of a show all of the bright downtown casino lights are turned off - an interesting experience in itself! A variety of shows includes "Lucky Las Vegas," which pays tribute to famous Las Vegas entertainers, and the wonderfully patriotic "American Freedom."
You'll find lots of free events on the Las Vegas Strip, too. The most famous is the spectacular Fountains Water Show at the Bellagio. All you have to do is walk over to the lake in front of the Bellagio and see a different fountain show every 15 minutes. The dazzling fountains dance to all kinds of music from country western to opera.
The free outdoor show "The Sirens of Ti" at Treasure Island has thrilling acrobatics and exciting pyrotechnics. Stroll up the sidewalk and catch the Volcano Show at the Mirage. From what is normally a beautiful waterfall a booming volcano violently erupts, throwing red "lava" 100 feet into the night sky.
For more tranquil activities wander through a Tropical Rain Forest, enjoy the relaxing 20,000 gallon saltwater Fish Aquarium, and become mesmerized by the striking beauty of rare animals in the open air White Tiger Habitat, all at the Mirage. The magnificent felines at the MGM Grand one-of-a-kind Lion Habitat lie on panes of glass above your head.
Just off the Strip is Sam's Town, where you can experience the excitement of the Sunset Stampede Water Show. Spotlighting the thrilling story of the western pioneer, fountains shoot eight stories into the air to the accompaniment of music, lasers and lights.
Whether you're lounging by a pool at your inexpensive timeshare, or enjoying a free live circus act, you can't beat Las Vegas for a cheap vacation that is full of fun. See all Las Vegas timeshares.

What's not to love about Las Vegas?! All this and cheap timeshares, too!
We had visitors from Finland and made sure they got to see Las Vegas! Everyone should experience Las Vegas at least once in their lives!
Some friends and I rented an inexpensive timeshare in Las Vegas and made it our mission to do every free thing we could find. We hardly had time to come up for air!
The fountains at the Bellagio are the most entertaining things I've ever seen! I could have stood there for hours just watching those.
