Miscellaneous requirements for cheaper stay...

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It does cool down quite significantly in the winter months in Las Vegas. Even though it is in the Mojave Desert, keep in mind that deserts do not conduct heat well. You will want a jacket or coat depending on when you go. It CAN get cold. Trust me.

Photo Equipment: Bring your film or disposable camera WITH you. You are captive when you get to Las Vegas and they know it. Even the drugstores overcharge for film and disposable camera. Bring it with you, and be careful with the x-rays at the airports...they can damage film.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Bring sunscreen if you burn easily. The sun is ALWAYS shining here. I think it rains about 2-3 days a year. I am almost transparent so I defintely bring it with me. Again, if you have to buy it here it will cost you a fortune. Especially if you buy it at the hotel.

Miscellaneous: CIGARETTES. If you smoke, bring a carton with you. Cigarettes are very expensive here. At least compared to where I live. You can expect to pay about $6.50 to $7.00 a pack depending on where you buy them. That includes drugstores and gas stations. Also keep in mind that you will be gambling and drinking, so a carton is almost a must.

No need to pack this much

Luggage and bags: A bag like this one is definitely overkill, unless you're moving to the area.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Vegas is mostly casual. Summers are very hot, so shorts, t shirts and bathing suits are the norm, along with comfortable shoes. Winter is a bit cooler so jackets and long sleeves are a good idea. Some restaurants and clubs are dressier but, unless you're doing this every night, there's no need to bring too much.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sunscreen in the summer. Also, chapstick and moisturizer are good ideas. Its very dry out here.

Miscellaneous: INTERNET USAGE:
You send me: Las Vegas is finally an official city of the future as we now boast an official internet cafe - the appropriately named Internet Cafe, to be specific, on Las Vegas Blvd. in the Polo Towers shopping center, next to the Harley Davidson Cafe. Internet service is $8 for a half-hour and $12 for an hour. Pay-per-use Web terminals were also recently spotted at the Hard Rock Hotel and McCarran International Airport; the MGM Business Center offers five minutes of access for $5; and Mandalay Bay offers access for approximately $10 per half-hour. The Tropicana Hotel has four Internet terminals near the buffet -- access costs $5 for 10 minutes

Free Web access is provided at local libraries, but you'll have to wait in line. The closest library to the Strip is at Maryland and Flamingo, and can be reached at 702-733-7810. If you happen to be at Fitzgerald's in downtown Vegas, they offer internet access for 20 cents a minute and the stations are located near check in.

And Coffemani@ Las Vegas (2417 Las Vegas Blvd. South, (702) 737-5241) provides two badly needed elements to the Strip -- a stand-alone coffeehouse that's not a Starbucks, and an Internet café that's not plagued by slow connections, dense crowds or three-deep geekdom. It's right next door to the Holy Cow Brewery.
