6. Trips don't have to be expensive. Visit museums instead and pack a cooler with pastries and donuts for breakfast, P&B and bread for lunch, and drinks and snacks. Our family of 5 took a 3-day trip to Norman Oklahoma and spent less than $300 for the entire thing. The most expensive part was the hotel, but we got a fabulous package price on-line. The kids LOVED it.

Why don't you just buy a vacation package for Las Vegas? Great bargains nowadays plus they give you free play.

Another excellent suggestion!

We have little ones (4 to 10 year olds), so the museums were a perfect fit of educational and fun. Plus, Oklahoma was within driving distance.

We also did 4 days in Austin and spent only $80 on entertainment. More museums and parks.

I don't gamble, so Vegas really isn't for me; nevertheless, I've been there on business and it's a lovely city. Lots to see and do, with some wonderful shows!
