Pauline Frommer''s Las Vegas

Spend less see more

"A great read. . . . Lively and unabashedly opinionated."

-New York Post

budget travel redefined

I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you not only how to spend less in Las Vegas, but how to see it in a more authentic way, without sacrificing comfort for savings.

• Cozy, comfortable accommodations: Instead of spending hundreds of dollars a night for a Strip suite, stay in a spacious condo for as little as $89 a night (p. 22), or check out friendly accommodations on Convention Center Drive from $42 a night (p. 44).
• Food finds: Eat your way through Las Vegas affordably by using the "discount tickets" booth for restaurants (p. 68) and enjoying "extreme breakfast" at Hash Houses a Go Go (p. 72).
• Sights and attractions: See what''s free on The Strip (p. 118), find real sharks in the desert at Shark Reef (p. 124), or take a daytrip to Death Valley (p. 282) or Area 51 (p. 289).
• Insider''s Las Vegas: Find the best shows, bars, and casinos-and if you''re the marrying kind, there''s a whole chapter on planning aLas Vegas wedding!

Happy Travels,
