Smart Ways to Save Money While Staying in Las Vegas

Looking to take a trip to Vegas without breaking the bank? It is easier than you might think when you plan ahead to make a budget from the beginning. Whether you want to bring the whole family for a weekend getaway or save as much as you can to try your luck at the slot machines, here are a few Las Vegas budget tips to have fun while spending less.

Cook Your Own "Five-Star" Meals

Meal costs on a vacation can range from $50 to $100 per day. Stopping at a grocery store to stock up and have some meals before you go out is a great way to save money in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas KOA Journey at Sam’s Town is located just minutes away from Walmart and Albertsons stores, and RV Sites have full hookups for your rig’s kitchen. You can also grill steaks or make breakfast at your site’s patio.

Live Like a Local, Save Like a Local

Mastering public transit is a great way to skip rideshare charges and one of the most affordable ways to do Vegas. Choosing the right transportation is also a way to explore the city on a budget. You can use the RTC bus that picks up right near Sam's Town and connects you to the Strip for a few dollars. The Game Day Express is a great option for sports fans, providing a shuttle from Sam's Town to Allegiant Stadium or T-Mobile Arena.

Be sure to check out the local eats as well and avoid paying downtown prices for a hearty meal. The food court and casual dining options at Sam's Town offer a variety of restaurants. You can also take a quick 10-minute ride from the campground to Casa di Amore for an old-school Italian experience.

Enjoy Free World-Class Entertainment

Planning a “free” itinerary with top-tier, no-cost attractions is another smart way to save money in Las Vegas. The Bellagio Fountains on the Strip offer an iconic dancing water show every 15 to 30 minutes, while the “Viva Vision” at Fremont Street has a light show on the massive overhead canopy nightly on the hour. The wildlife habitat behind the Flamingo Hotel & Casino, which is open daily, features a peaceful four-acre garden that showcases flamingos, other birds, turtles, koi ponds and waterfalls.

Our campground also offers free relaxation opportunities with top-notch amenities, including a swimming pool, a hot tub and a picnic area. You can socialize with fellow campers in community spaces, such as the on-site clubhouses and barbecue areas. You can even travel with your four-legged family members and let them run off leash in our KampK9® dog park.
