Final Tips

Now that some ideas for your Las Vegas Honeymoon, we want to leave you with a few more tips to help you save money and ensure your honeymoon goes as smooth as possible

Consider Midweek Stays

If you’re planning your honeymoon and want to be conscious of your budget, choosing to stay during the week can save you more money than you might expect. You may be able to get hundreds of dollars off your stay if you book your stay Monday-Thursdays.

Sign Up for Players Cards

Getting a Players Card is more than just a way to get discounts on rooms and free play in the casino. It also often comes with perks like upgrades, waived resort fees, and even meal comps at the resort’s restaurants.

Ask About Packages and Add-Ons

If you want to make your trip extra special, contact the resort and ask about any special touches you can include. They may offer packages that include activities such as spa treatments, private tours, or romantic dinners. Add-ons like limousine airport transfers, champagne on arrival, or room upgrades can also enhance your experience and make your stay more memorable.

Take a Day Trip outside of Las Vegas

While you may want to stay on the strip for your whole honeymoon, taking the time to take a day trip can make for an incredibly memorable experience. If you haven’t rented a car, you can book one of the many amazing tours that are offered by a number of companies.

Book Experiences and Restaurants Early

One of the most recommended tips when planning any vacation is to book early, and this is especially applicable to honeymoons. Ensuring that you book all the experiences and restaurant reservations you want in advance can make sure you don’t miss out on anything. For shows and tours, you may also be able to snag any early bird rates offered.
