2) Invest in a travel guide. There are numerous Las Vegas-specific entertainment books online filled with coupons that you can use in "Sin City." The coupons can range from $1 off of dinner to a free night at a Vegas hotel or even more specials and deals! They can also give you an idea of less expensive places to stay and eat during your stay.

3) Eat at the buffets. You've probably heard of the world-famous buffets at the casinos in Las Vegas. Some of them are costly, but you can find several low-priced buffets that still have good quality in your Las Vegas travel guide. You can even fill up enough on a buffet in the middle of the day so you only have to pay for one meal each day and still be full.

4) Pick one day to splurge. You can't really enjoy a Las Vegas vacation without doing a little splurging. Vacationers get in trouble, however, when they splurge for the entire vacation. Instead, pick one thing to splurge one. Whether it's paying for VIP at a Las Vegas nightclub,  Cirque De Soleil or going a little overboard on the slot machines, make sure you do one thing in Vegas that you'll remember for a lifetime.

5) Stay on the outskirts of the city. Hotel prices on the strip are going to be expensive because they are in the heart of Vegas. However, if you stay downtown can find cheap hotels and only have a short drive to the strip each day. In addition to that, you will appreciate the quietness of staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

6) Get your tickets early. You can often find better deals on tickets to Vegas shows if you plan ahead and get them weeks or even months ahead of time. In addition to saving money, you can also get better seats by ordering early.

7) Visit Las Vegas during the off-peak season for discounts. Prices everywhere are much more expensive during peak season. That's especially true in Las Vegas. Plan your Vegas trip so that you avoid popular times like New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day and the summer months. Planning your trip during the week instead of the weekend could save you hundreds of dollars, too. Also, find out if there will be any conferences in town during your planned visit. Conferences will drive up the cost of hotel rooms during the duration of the conference.

8) Choose matinees instead of evening Las Vegas shows. Matinee shows are the exact same thing as the evening show, but they are often much cheaper than the evening show.

9) Stick to a strict budget. Vacationers often splurge on their Vegas vacation because they spend wildly for souvenirs and other unnecessary items. Buying souvenirs in Vegas is great, but you should have money budgeted for it so you know exactly how much you are spending. Also, leave your credit cards somewhere safe where you won't have easy access to them so you don't overspend with them. Paying cash for everything on your vacation makes you think about how much you are spending more consciously.

10) Shop at convenience stores instead of souvenir stands. While walking down the strip, you might see stands selling bottles of water for four dollars. However, there could be a convenience store or a retail store like Walgreen's behind the stand that has the same bottle of water for one dollar. Go to the retail stores for your necessities and you'll save money. You can also find some low-priced souvenirs at those places as well.

These are just ten useful tips you can use to enjoy your next Las Vegas vacation without draining your bank account. Of course, using some common sense always helps, too. Do some research and create a budget for the cheaper Vegas trip and you should be able to enjoy the time while you're there and come back home without empty pockets.
