Get lucky with Las Vegas fares starting at $80 R/T! United is offering sale fares between Las Vegas and West Coast cities, and Northwest has announced a similar deal to/from cities in the East and Midwest. Fares to Vegas start as low as $80 round-trip, for flights from Los Angeles (LAX) on United.

America West has also released a Vegas deal, with round-trip flights for two as low as $80 per person. Travel is valid between Las Vegas and cities the airline serves throughout the U.S., plus Mexico City, Mexico.

For all three airlines, travel is valid through September 30. Purchase tickets online only, at least seven days before departure, and by Sunday, June 9.

The FReeper FRugal Gourmet can find affordable breakfast and lunch restaurants both on and directly off the Strip in Las Vegas.

I've always been partial to those 99 cent 1lb hotdogs down at the Westward Ho :)

For breakfast?

Hotwire is pretty good too. And you can see the price before you buy.

I even got bumped up to first class once on a hotwire ticket. Talk about bargin!

One question for all the good folks interested in attending the Las Vegas conference: will any one be heading for the casinos between sessions? :-)

[VA Advogado]

For breakfast?

When I go to Vegas I'm really not up until lunch time. :)

[uglybiker]

If I ever go into a casino, it's later in the evening and then only to watch the drunks walk into the mirrored walls. ;-)

Shunuvabish won't git outta my way!!!

Would love to go but I just came back from Vegas 2 days ago. The weather is gorgeous! Have a great time! There is alot to see (besides the slot machines!) ;-)

[Bob J]

Noy anyone associated with FR or FRN. I assume that Smarter Living is a travel agency and maybe they are getting a referral fee or commission for pushing the fares to the specific airlines.

[Bob J]

Hey...go again! If the Conference were anywhere else, would you go?

[DoughtyOne]

I guess so. Sounds like a bargain to me!

[strela]

will any one be heading for the casinos between sessions?

I myself intend to do extensive field research of those locales, yes. For scientific purposes only, of course ;)

[goldwater was right]

Is that a Guzzi, ugly?

Was at Circus last weekend and it was wall-to-wall tourists. Next time, let's go to Laughlin. It's half as pricy, easier and we got the place to ourselves. In early June, temps are down, prices are about $25 during week and $45 weekends. Huge buffets and banquet people that'll give you the moon for about the same or way less as Vegas.

You'll also get more conservatives and no threat of a strike every 15 minutes from the unions.

And you can go play in the Colorado River or Lake Mojave between sessions. Way cool. A river runs through it.
