Today our budget traveling post is on ways to save in Las Vegas.
A number of people want to see the city of Las Vegas, even though they are not gamblers. Others, like to gamble, but who can afford to spend a whole vacation sitting at a slot machine or at a card table.
So what else is there to do to extend that vacation in Las Vegas.
If you're new to the gambling seen, most all of the casinos have classes in the mornings. Some days they will teach you the tricks of Black Jack, other days they will give you tips on the roulette wheel or dice games. Take time to learn.
In addition to the high priced shows, there are a number of free shows in Las Vegas. So, before you spend big money on a show every night, keep in mind there are shows that are free to see.
I have listed here some more tips on traveling to Las Vegas.
So remember...May all of your travels be, Lots of fun and Mostly Free!!!

Boston
I have been working on some new travel tips. I'll try to share them here with you on a regular basis now.
Today's topic Boston, and more particularly, The Freedom Trail.
When you go to Boston, you can pay to have someone guide you on a long walk through The Freedom Trail or you can guide yourself.
The advantages of guiding yourself: The first one is obvious, you will save the tour guide fee. Second, you will be able to stop whenever you like. This is great not only for those who can't walk a long distance at a time, but also for those who like to stop and shop. If you see a place you want to go into, you can just stop and go in. As we all know, if we're with a tour guide we might look and say, yes we're going to come back to that. But the fact of the matter is, you most likely won't make it back.
So take the time, enjoy The Freedom Trail on your own terms.

There is a shuttle tram in Las Vegas for which you can buy a pass. But there are also 2 free trams in Las Vegas. Most people don't know about these until it is too late, or they have been there a few times.
The first one has 3 stops. The Excalibur, The Luxor, and Mandalay Bay. It is a short ride, and the tram leaves about every 5 minutes, give or take a minute or two. This tram runs 24 hours a day

Tips for Traveling to Las Vegas
Today I though I would cover a few tips for traveling to Las Vegas.
One of the hardest decisions to make once you arrive is where to go first. But once you decide, I would highly suggest considering the "Deuce" as your primary source of transportation. The "Deuce" is a double decker bus which stops near every casino on the strip and will also talk you downtown. For a mere Five Dollars you can buy a 24-hour pass which will save not only your legs, but also loads on taxi fare.
You'll want to check out the famous free shows while you're there. If you start out with the Sirens at Treasure Island, at the end you'll have just enough time to walk on to the Mirage to see the Volcano explode, and then as you arrive at the Bellagio you'll be just in time for the Fountain and Light show (aka Fountains of the Bellagio).
Other free sights to see in Vegas include:
Lion Habitat at MGM
Circus Acts of Circus Circus
The Flamingo Wildlife Habitat
The Dealertainers
CBS Research Center
Fremont Street Experience

Just Back from Myrtle Beach
I just got back from Myrtle Beach. It was a nice relaxing trip. The temperature there was in the high 80's and 90's the whole time I was there. But it felt comfortable. It's amazing how much the lack of humidity can make a difference.
I stayed at a little resort in downtown called the Polynesian Resort. Although there were a lot of families staying there, I still would only recommend this place as only a place to lay your head.
There's not really a bad neighborhood in Myrtle Beach. However, I would suggest anyone planning a trip there to stay either on the South of North side of the Grand Strand. Or before making your reservation, you might ask one simple question...Does the hotel have interior hallways leading to the rooms? Those that do, are usually worth paying a little more.
