Heading to Vegas with two friends, all mid-20s, and staying for 9 days. Looking for advice from people who know the city well. We want to have a great trip, meet people our age, party a few nights, and see some of the more interesting parts of Vegas without getting destroyed financially.
Most of the information online feels like it’s coming from influencers, promoters, or people trying to sell something. I’m curious where people actually go when they want to have fun without spending hundreds of dollars every night on drinks, cover charges, rides, and other fees. Are club promoters worth dealing with or is it mostly marketing? Are there areas, bars, or neighborhoods that offer a better experience and value than the typical tourist spots?
I’d also like to know the common mistakes first-time visitors make that end up costing them a lot more money than necessary. The goal is to avoid realizing halfway through the trip that we could have had a better experience for a fraction of the cost. Any advice on how to make the most of Vegas while keeping spending reasonable would be appreciated

>>2888347(OP) QRD: The Strip's actual real estate was sold to Private Equity during COVID. Now the Casinos are beholden to these vultures, and can no longer do comps and freebies like they used to. If you go to a Casino, just know that they are being forced to nickel and dime on everything now. That said, table games with friends can be fun. I personally prefer horse races, but to each their own.

>>2888347(OP) Theres already a Vegas thread with 200+ you stupid little bitch. This is a larp thread anyway.
>>2888347(OP) Do you know where you're staying? The core costs of any trip are always going to be lodging and food. past that everything is optional. (or can be controlled to a higher degree).
Focus #1 should be finding a hotel for a reasonable price (all costs included--parking+resort fee etc.), and some restaurants in the area you know you can get a decent meal for a decent price consistently.
You won't get "goofed on" if you just keep control of your money, are aware of what you're doing and don't make terrible decisions when drunk.

If you're staying for 9 days, get a rental car and get out of the city. Hit up the Hoover Dam or even Death Valley. The Pawn Stars shop is a decent place to buy a souvenir. If you're thinking about going to Hells Kitchen, just go to Gordon Ramsey Steak instead. It has all the same food. Dispensaries are cash-only, but they have ATMs. The only decent strip club is Treasures, but don't expect much.
