Las Vegas is So Expensive!

Editorial Summary

Josh and Rachel document a four night trip to Las Vegas to explore the various costs associated with staying on and off the Strip. Their journey begins with a flight from Denver and a stay at an Encore suite where they utilize resort credits to offset buffet and late night food costs. The creators detail various expenses including Uber and taxi rides, show tickets purchased during Black Friday sales, and dining experiences ranging from casual late night snacks to high end meals. They visit several notable locations such as the Wynn buffet, the Sahara, and MGM Grand where they receive room upgrades through their status. The trip includes a day trip to the Hoover Dam involving a car rental and various roadside stops. The creators conclude by noting that while they experienced significant splurges like a 490 dollar dinner and a very expensive meal at Lotus of Siam, travelers can find ways to save by eating in areas like Chinatown or shopping at regular stores in malls. They clarify that gambling losses were excluded from their total cost calculations.
