Is Vegas an expensive trip?

If you want a typical Las Vegas experience where you stay in a decent hotel on the Strip, you eat in nice restaurants and you gamble a bit here and there, then yeah, Vegas is pretty expensive. It's not the most expensive city in the world, but it's definitely not the cheapest either.

$2000 should be more than enough, even at Venetian. Some must sees that are free include Bellagio conservatory, Freemont street light show downtown.

It really depends on whom you ask. Tipping a cocktail waitress at least $1 for free drinks she brings to you is still recommended, if only to keep them coming back, even finding you if you move to a new table or machine. Tip a bit more per drink and, hey, the pours may get stronger as word gets around.

Like anywhere in the United States, it is expected that you tip your Las Vegas waiters and waitresses 15-20% of your total bill. If you are in a larger group, many restaurants will automatically add a 20% gratuity to your final bill. In that case, you are not required to give any additional amount.

I have gone there with as little as $500 and had a good time. The key is to not try to do everything at once. I usually have a rough plan when I go out there and a daily budget. Be more specific in what you want to do and have a budget and you can have fun and not spend an arm and a leg.
