Creator's Key Takeaways

I was just in Vegas. I was on Fremont Street and it was one of the least busy I've ever seen it.

I'm cheap, you know, and I've never been shy about that. If I can find a way to not pay for something, I will.

I was less happy when I found out that the Rio was charging me um resort fees and um that ended up being $172 um for those three nights.

Vegas is back, baby.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Frontier Go Wild pass for free flights.
Get a comped hotel room by playing a little at the casino.
Sit at a slot machine and pretend to play to get free drinks.
Take the bus (RTC app) for $5 for 24 hours of rides.
Collect donations (leftover credits) from slot machines.
