Always read the fine print. 🚗 Getting Around Without Burning Cash 🚶 The Strip is walkable (but bring water in the summer!). 🚍 The Deuce Bus — 24-hour access to the Strip and Downtown for around $8/day. 🚗 Rideshare or rent a car if heading to Hoover Dam or Red Rock Canyon — parking is often free! 🅿️ Free parking? It’s rare but possible at places like The STRAT, Treasure Island, and Downtown casinos. ☀️ Summer Survival Tips (on a budget) 🧴 Hydration is key — grab water from convenience stores, not casino kiosks. 🧢 Pack sunscreen, hats, and comfy shoes — avoid tourist-price shops. 🏖️ Hotel pool hopping — Some resorts let non-guests in for free or with a drink minimum. Or check for day passes!
