Avoid weekends and Holidays, book airfare as soon as you find something within your budget, and always book your Hotel room directly with the hotel.

Do not use a secondary website(expedia,travelocity, etc.)you will pay more and you will not be able to change or cancel your reservation if you find a better deal.

I would avoid these Hotels even though they are cheap Circus Circus, Sahara, and Stratosphere mainly based on location. You can cheap rooms at Bills Gambling Hall and Imperial Palace, which are both ';Center Strip'; and also Luxor, Excalibur, and Tropicana which are on the southern part of the Strip.

Read Wannabektrvlr%26#39;s trip report. She%26#39;s a self-proclaimed tight-wad . . . just came back from a wonderful trip . . . her trip report is great and might be very helpful to you.

Go to Vegas Sunday thru Thursday.

Eat a large breakfast, then and early dinner.

Stay downtown, everything is cheaper there. If you are going mainly to gamble and have fun, you will love downtown.

I am a fan of Terribles. I will be staying there in July for $19 a night. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It is definately off the Strip, but for $2.50 you can get a bus pass for 24 hours. You can also get a fine T-bone or Prime Rib dinner for $8.95 including beer or wine.

The airfare is going to be the tough part. Cheap plane tickets are hard to come by these days. I%26#39;ve found decent fares with Southwest, and if their fares drop you can re-book at a lower rate without penalty. But I don%26#39;t think Southwest is terribly helpful if you fly out of Myrtle Beach

Sign up for players clubs and get coupon books, look for coupons in the newspapers when you get to the hotel, I printed a lot of coupons off of the cheapo vegas.com, look for the 2 for 1%26#39;s

Timing is everything. Rates will vary widely from one month to the next and one day to the next. If you can fit your trip in during the week when there is no major convention in town, at the right time of year you can get a very decent hotel for under $100/night. Most of the hotels have promotional offers which generally come out 2-3 months before the travel dates.

Airfares are another story. You may want to look at hotel%26amp;air packages from an airline website or a third party site like Expedia to see if you can get a break on the airfare that way. It%26#39;s hard to predict, but I think airfares have peaked and may decline over the next several months as oil production increases and fuel costs drop, so there may be some benefit to waiting.

Use hotwire to book a room on the strip. As long as the hotel has a casino and is on the strip, you%26#39;ll most likely be ok. Check out betterbidding dot com.

go to: www.airfarewatchdog.com they have daily updates on airfare.

www.vegas.com has lots of links for the inexpensive stuff and food. (budget trip)

Where to stay can be an issue:

The strip tends to have the higher rates, but is closer to the action.

Downtown tends to have the lower rates, but is further away from the action.

First timers its best to be on the strip. Although if you don%26#39;t mind cabs/shuttles, downtown places will have lower rates.
