Visiting the gambling Mecca in Nevada need not to be ridiculously financially crippling for anyone. At least for the smart ones who choose to stay away from the practices in Las Vegas which could cost them a hundred dollars per drink. I’ve heard a lot of stuff from friends who have visited Las Vegas and they all have one thing to say in common. It costs an arm and a leg for one to get through a single night in Vegas so what more for those who practically live there.

Well for one, I am pretty sure folks who live in Vegas know simply by now how to get about every single night of drinking, gambling and partying without having to empty your pocket and bank accounts clean. If you’d only learn to take it from the ones who know it better than the gamblers all over Las Vegas, you’d survive for over a week and still come back completely.

First thing you need to keep in mind is to stay away from super fancy hotels with all that blinking and blinding lights all over it. They charge so much as if you’re paying for their monthly electricity bill on your 3-night stay all together. The rates they bill customers still doesn’t include the tips that every bellboy, room service attendant and housekeeping personnel are expecting to get from you for doing a great job bringing your bottle of water for you or for hanging your coat and hat by the rack. Isn’t that something?

Sometimes I think I could get rich just by getting a job hanging coats and hats on the rack in Vegas. You can find really cheap and affordable hotels at least a mile away from those blinking hotels and it they could cost as less as $60 per night. I don’t think the dancers even hang out there because they think it’s such a terrible place to be in. But not for tourists who want to save on cash and wouldn’t mind a small room to stay in for the night.

Next thing to remember is do not take the taxi cab. Your room is not that far away from the strip of casinos and hotels so it would certainly be better to walk going to the clubs. I’m sure that as soon as you get there, you will be sitting down majority of the time. And in addition to that, taxi cabs in Las Vegas do not charge by mileage but by the time that you are inside their cab. The longer you stay inside the cab, the higher your bill gets. So stay away from cabs if you’d prefer to save cash.

Finally, most likely one of the greatest pointers I may give you from my own experience is to grab as much food as you could from the buffet table in the hotel where you are usually staying. Typically, rooms and hotels, no matter how affordable they are, will have a very good breakfast, lunch or dinner buffet table that you could eat from. Keep your stomach full with apples, cookies, brownie bars, bread and also other dry food that you could slip into your bag to keep you going for a few hours. I’ve seen a lot of people do this so you are not alone.

Just follow these tricks and you will definitely make it in Vegas.

Palm Springs has a rich, diverse and fascinating history. It began 10,000 years ago in the Stone Age, when the area was inhabited by an ancient tribe using bows and arrows and weaving baskets. The area began to flourish when the first American explorers made their way to the Coachella Valley in 1853. The area went from one watering hole to an international vacation paradise!

This mineral spring, nestled within two bunches of palm trees, was discovered in 1853 by William Blake, an exploring geologist. Excited to find water, he and his team established the first wagon trail which made way for the Bradshaw Stage Coach line which brought more visitors to the Coachella valley. As more visitors came to the valley, the construction of a railroad line by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company gave way for construction of a true settlement.

As people heard about the area, the first hotel in 1886 was built. The Palm Springs Hotel (aptly named) held a measly 26 guests, but it began the trend that Palm Springs has developed into a multi-billion dollar industry. In the early 1900′s, the town grew to support the construction of the town’s first post office, school and a larger hotel, the El Mirador that held a whopping 300 guests! In 1936, the town had grown enough to initiate the formation of a committee to incorporate into a city. A city was born with the help of its first mayor, Philip Boyd, a capable businessman and committee member who helped the city get on its financial feet. The city continued to grow, flourishing as a vacation spot until World War II. During the war, the El Mirador Hotel was turned into a hospital for the military and an airport was built to accommodate the planes of injured soldiers arriving and returning to service.

In the early forties, the area incorporated into a city and elected its first local government, making it official. The desert rest stop had become a city full of promise. During World War II, the U.S. government asked for the city to do its part. General George Patton brought troops into the area, taking over the El Mirador hotel and turning it into an army hospital. This influx of troops coming in and out of Palm Springs brought the construction of the Palm Springs Airport to accommodate the takeoff and landing of a vital military force. The airport still stands today and has grown into taking on international flights from around the world, bringing even more vacationers from all across the globe. As the war ended, the sixties and seventies brought the best of Hollywood’s stars, who turned the town into their vacation playground. The eighties showed a huge influx of retirees who found the warm dry climate appealing.

In the last few decades, Palm Springs has become known across the globe as a world class vacation destination. Today it is a growing Mecca for residents and vacationers alike. Palm Springs has become a popular vacation destination hot spot for Hollywood’s elite as well as everyday, hardworking families. The town features hundreds of hotels, motels, resorts, spas and vacation homes, offering lodging for the regular folks and the rich and famous. The addition of a number of Indian Casinos from the local tribes have made it a gambler’s paradise. The town has become a favorite among golfers, ofering over 300 world-class courses in the Coachella Valley. The town’s dining and entertainment have become well known world-wide, accommodating many thousands of visitors every year. Its amazing to think that this international vacation destination all began with the discovery of a mineral spring among a few palm trees!
