Who says you need to break the bank to have a blast in Sin City? We’ve got three itineraries that’ll make your wallet breathe a sigh of relief while you’re living it up in Las Vegas.
Whether you’re looking for romance, downtown vibes, or family fun, we’ve got you covered. And the best part? Each of these trips comes in just under $500 for a 2-night/3-day getaway. Yeah, you read that right.
So buckle up, cause we’re about to show you how to do Vegas on a budget that won’t leave you selling your firstborn.
Romantic Couple on the Strip Under $500
Ah, love is in the air… or is that just the smell of casino chips? Either way, this itinerary is perfect for couples looking to rekindle their romance without setting fire to their savings account.
You’ll be staying at Paris Las Vegas, because nothing says “I love you” like a fake Eiffel Tower outside your window. For a measly $206 total (including those pesky resort fees that cost more than the room itself), you’ll get two nights of Parisian-themed bliss.
Your days will be filled with budget-friendly activities that’ll make you feel like high rollers. We’re talking lunch with a view at Mon Ami Gabi, gawking at the Bellagio Fountains (free entertainment, folks!), and a trip up the Eiffel Tower viewing deck. You’ll even squeeze in some pool time and a ride on the High Roller observation wheel.
But the real kicker? A night of comedy at Jimmy Kimmel’s club. Because nothing says romance like laughing so hard you might pee a little.
Downtown Under $500
If you’re more interested in the gritty charm of old Vegas than the glitz of the Strip, boy, do we have the trip for you. Downtown Vegas is where it’s at, and this itinerary will show you all the hotspots without emptying your pockets.
You’ll be bunking at the Golden Nugget, right in the heart of Fremont Street. For about $200, you get two nights in a place that’s seen more action than a Vegas poker table.
Your days will be packed with vintage Vegas vibes. We’re talking a stroll down Fremont Street, where you can catch the spectacular Viva Vision light show at night, complete with music from iconic artists and a canopy of 24 million LED lights.
And let’s not forget the food. Downtown Las Vegas has a thriving dining scene, with plenty of local eateries to try. Plus, there’s a super fun pedal-powered pub crawl down Fremont. Plus, you can visit the Mob Museum to get a taste of Vegas’ rich history.

Kid-Friendly Trip
Now, we know what you’re thinking. “Vegas? With kids? Are you nuts?” But hear us out. This itinerary is proof that you can have a family-friendly Vegas vacation without resorting to selling your kids to the circus.
You’ll be staying at The LINQ Hotel & Casino, right in the heart of the action. For about $164 (including those sneaky resort fees and taxes), you get two nights in a place that’s surrounded by some of the best family-friendly activities in Vegas. It’s not the Ritz, but it’s on the Strip, and who needs fancy when you can have a view of the High Roller?
Your days will be filled with activities that’ll keep the little ones entertained and the big ones from losing their minds.
Start your adventure with dinner at Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen, where the portions are so big, you’ll need a forklift to get them to the table. Share a mac n cheese burger, and pretend you’re on a diet… tomorrow.
Right outside your hotel door is the LINQ Promenade, which offers a ton of fun stuff for families. You can take a ride on the High Roller observation wheel, which offers stunning views of the Strip (catch a daytime ride for a discount).
Or, if your kids are a bit more adventurous, they can zip line across the promenade on the Fly LINQ zipline. It’s a thrill that’ll leave them grinning from ear to ear. Finally, spend the last morning at the Museum of Selfies, where you can take a million photos with your kid. It’s like a giant playground for your Instagram.
