What is YOUR Vegas budget?

[kaizen]

We've budgeted $250 per day each over 2 weeks. This is for f&b.

I'll have a separate gambling fund & shopping fund

[BigDex14]

I have done 10K on each of my last two trips after airfare and hotel which were 3 and 4 days. I usually get a little carried away!

mbn!

[pantlessbellman]

Rolling with about 1500-2k after hotel and flight for 3 nights.

[pantlessbellman]

Do you guys usually roll around with all that cash too? I was thinking about having 500-1000 in cash and the rest on my ATM card so that away if I get rolled I wont be out 100% of my budget.

[kaizen]

Cash and Card man! Definitely a mixture of both

[ChiTownChik]

Usually $2500 for 4 days, We aren't big clubbers but if we do decide to do one, we opt for bottle service and if not, I usually brink a good bulk of my money back with me plus whatever I win gambling (I always win something). No, I don't keep all of that on me, I usually keep it in the hotel safe (never had any issues with theft or anything) and take a lil bit out per day or just eat and drink off my winnings during the day.

Oh, and drinking those $1 margaritas (they're my tradition ).

Where is this and why aren't we there now?

$1500-2k or more depending on table winnings or losses.

Margaritas for $1 can be found about everywhere but especially central strip. There's also $1 beer. You can get quite drunk for cheap.

They had $1 Margaritas for a while at Bills but they are $2 now and $2 Dos Equis. They still have them at Casino Royale for $1 but those aren't as strong as the ones at Bills IMO.

Is there a specific place you go for good ones? I need my budget to be closer to your budget.

[redbullvodka]

$750 cash per day for spending

this doesn't include air, room, no car in vegas, prebooked shows/concerts.

with the pool in the day, club at night, eating, cabs, roulette, blackjack this goes fast sometimes.

shopping isn't included in the $750, that goes on credit card.

[travhast]

around 5 or 6 k per night if robbed by hookers. if not, i'd say around 5 or 6k for a wed-sat stay (excl. hotel and planes)

[Dean of Selection]

I need a bare minimum of 500 a day(ideally a grand per day. hence why i can really only do 2 nights. I want 2 hard nights i dont wanna fade and essentially waste my time there). I am a clubber. Dont play any table games just gamble on sports.

[Breeze]

i bring about 3k for 3days; hope to spend only 2k, but end up spending 4k.

lol!

We've been discussing this on the chat today.

So here it is. What is YOUR typical Vegas budget?

I'm especially interested in foreigners because I know some of them save for like a whole year and then go buck wild!

My usual budget from Cali is around $1500-$2k after Hotel/Airfare/Gas.

There are so many variables to this question that I am not sure how to answer.

It depends on the group, the purpose of the trip, the time of year...

I am a fan of doing Vegas once or twice a year and making the most of it rather than 5-6 scattered over the course of the year......

I never skimp on a hotel room. Having a solid base of operations is a must. This has been the Palazzo/ Venetian for the past 5 years....so that is an automatic expense.

For the nightlife...I could spend $500 hundred bucks with the right people and have a great time or I could spend $5000 and have a medicore time....and I have done both.

It all depends.
