Have you had enough of hearing about high gas prices and the economy? And, forget about air fares, they are through the roof! Do you think there's no chance of going on a vacation or honeymooning in this economic climate? You'd be wrong. You can actually still find numerous honeymoon destinations here in the United States that will fit your budget. Even Las Vegas has been affected by the economic slow down. Many of the summer bargains have been extended clear through December. I suspect, that you will continue to see bargains even in the peak seasons as long as the economy is floundering. Here are some ways to save money on your Las Vegas honeymoon:

Plan in advance Make your plans as far in advance as possible. Research the city and what it has to offer. Look around online for hotel and airfare packages. Knowledge is power, and good planning is the key to a relaxing trip.

Be a smart savvy traveler Look for ways you can save on all the parts of your honeymoon trip. One of the biggest expenses is going to be your travel costs. Again, if you take the time to do your research and compare prices from one airline to another, you can still find there are many cheaper air fares online. If you find a budget fare, book it on the spot! Remember to book flights during off seasons since during those times air fares are at their lowest. This is a good rule of thumb to keep in mind for all of your future travel needs, not just your honeymoon trip.

Grab vacation deals You can save a bundle if you go for an all-inclusive vacation deal where they offer packages. Often, these packages include everything, from air flights and accommodations to meals and drinks. And they might also include free admissions to other destinations in the city; many often include complimentary show tickets.

Isn't it ironic that Las Vegas which is often called the country's Sin City is also known as the Wedding Capital of the World? Las Vegas is the most heavily populated metropolis in the Nevada. It is also known as one of the top entertainment capitals of the world and the city that never sleeps. With its numerous casino resorts, adult entertainment and even glamorous high end shopping, honeymooning there is certainly an experience you will never forget.

Easy Package Deals for you There are a number of travel websites offering great deals on vacations or a budget honeymoons for smart shoppers like you. These websites offer you packages that will definitely fit into your budget. Try searching Expedia which offers special sale rates. For example, with a Los Angeles departure, they have four nights' accommodation and airfare for only $244, and they will even give you up to 30% discount. Of course, the amount of the discount depends on how long you're going to stay. For that price, the 3 ½ hour drive to save airfare pales in comparison.

Orbitz, another large travel website like Expedia, offers its clients $50 off of their Vegas packages with dining and spa treatments for good measure. The Stratosphere also has an affordable package to offer you with rates as low as $50 a night, and it even includes discounts and other activity admissions.

Join the Player's Club Where ever you stay, the hotel will have a Player's Club. Even if you do not gamble, joining the club for free still entitles you to a special reservation line and discounts for any future trips. If you do gamble, you often get further perks like complimentary meals, room upgrades, and even show tickets. If you come out a big winner, you may even have a night's room rate "comped" (or even more). There are plenty of low cost or no cost things you can do in Las Vegas. You can entertain yourself by relaxing in front of the Bellagio Hotel while watching the fountains which will cost nothing: not even a dime. The hourly Pirate show at Treasure Island is still very popular and also free.

Or, you can get cheap shows tickets for as much as $50. Some of the budget shows would include Viva Las Vegas at the Plaza only for $12, The Mentalist at Hooters for $36.95, The Rat Pack is Back at the Plaza for $49.95, and if you search, you can find many more.

Sometimes, we have the wrong impression that Las Vegas is a high cost, luxurious trip. However, it can be relatively inexpensive if you just do your research (as well as, stay away from the gambling). The "people watching" cannot be beat, and just walking through the casino resorts looking at each one trying to outdo the next can be a very entertaining way to spend the day. You have a mini world tour without the expense. There are dozens of attractions in Las Vegas that will dazzle you. Now, don't think twice about all the doom and gloom in the news, book a honeymoon trip to Las Vegas and experience the best late summer vacation of your life!
