Vegas Baby, Vegas: Age Ain't Nothing But a Number (Except When It Comes to Hotel Rooms)
So you've got your heart set on a Vegas vacation, bright lights, buffets that never end, and that feeling of "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" (except the inevitable sunburn and questionable decisions). But hold on to your maracas, there's a little hurdle to jump first: age.

Sin City Age Checkpoint: 21 to Play, But How Old to Stay?
Las Vegas might be a playground for adults, but that doesn't necessarily mean you need to be a seasoned high roller to score a hotel room. Here's the deal:
- Most casinos and hotels on the Strip require you to be at least 21 to check in. This makes sense, considering gambling and boozing are kind of their bread and butter (and let's be honest, probably the butter on your waffles at 3 am).
- There are some exceptions! Not all hotels are created equal, and a few budget-friendly or off-Strip options might welcome you with open arms (and possibly a complimentary Elvis impersonator singing telegram, who knows?).
Pro Tip: If you're under 21 and set on staying on the Strip, consider booking a room with someone over 21 (responsible friend, anyone?). Just make sure they're cool with being the official "adult" on the reservation.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
The Great Vegas Escape: Finding a Hotel Under 21
So you're under 21 and Vegas is still calling your name. Fear not, young grasshopper (or should we say, young showgirl?), there are ways to make your Sin City dreams a reality.
- Hit the Books (Hotel Booking Websites, That Is): Many hotel booking websites allow you to filter your search by minimum check-in age. This way, you can see which hotels welcome the young and restless (or just the young and wanting-to-explore-Vegas).
- Think Outside the Strip: Las Vegas isn't all about the glitz and glamour of the main drag. There are plenty of affordable and funky hotels just off the Strip that might not have a dancing fountain, but could definitely have a pool and a decent breakfast spread (perfect for fueling all those Vegas adventures).
- Hostels: An Adventure (With Bunk Beds): Looking for a social and budget-friendly option? Hostels are a great way to meet fellow travelers and save some cash on your stay. Just be prepared for dorm-style living and the occasional questionable snoring situation.
Vegas on a Budget: How to Save Those Hard-Earned Bucks (Because Let's Be Honest, You'll Probably Spend Them on Something Questionable Anyway)
Finding a hotel under 21 is just the first step. Vegas can be a bottomless money pit, so here are a few tips to stretch your budget:
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
- Free Shows and Activities: Believe it or not, there's more to Vegas than casinos! Check out the free attractions like the Bellagio Conservatory (seriously, those flower displays are insane), the Fremont Street Experience with its light shows and street performers, or the Volcano at The Mirage (because who doesn't love a giant erupting volcano in the middle of the desert?).
- Discounted Tickets and Deals: Sites like Groupon and Travelzoo often have deals on shows, attractions, and even buffets (because, Vegas). Do your research and snag some savings before you go.
- Hydration is Key (and Free): Those Vegas heat waves are no joke. Save yourself from overpriced bottled water and hit up the beverage stations in the casinos. Just remember, complimentary drinks usually don't apply to under 21 folks, so stick with the good ol' H2O.
Remember: Vegas is all about having fun, so don't stress about breaking the bank.
