How much spemding money would you bring?

I%26#39;ll be staying at the luxor march 23-30 and don%26#39;t plan on doing much gambling. We are seeing three shows and they are paid for. The hotel and airfare is paid as well. I don%26#39;t plan on any spa treatments.

So, how much would you suggest bringing?

The title of this was supposed to read ';spending'; not ';spemding'; HA!

How much spemding money would you bring?

For seven nights, depending on the quality of meals, for a really nice dinner, plan on spending $40-$50 a night. During the day, hit a buffet close to brunch--11 am for about $12. In the morning, get a coffee and pastry downstairs in the cafe for about $6. Multiply $68 by 7 days and that%26#39;d be about $475 for food. Taxis would be $6 for 5 one way trips at $30. Alcohol is free if you gamble. So plan on spending $40/day to milk the quarter/nickel/penny slots, $280. Souvenirs/postcards another $25/day $175. Total estimated costs for food, taxis, gambling(cheap slots) and souvenirs about $960 to $1000 as an outside suggestion not knowing your tastes.

your in wonderful shape,all you need is dining out money.they give the food away is you check the deals on the web.we did alot of lunch meals when we were there.straosphere was excellent,the forum shops at caesars also excellent,so many places.we figured $100 a day for two and spent no where near that.,all depends how fancy you want to go. oh, check the $7.00 steak and shrimp special at hard rock but you have to ask for it.

Places where you need cash are the machines, tables, taxis and for tips. For everything else you can use a Credit card or ATM/Visa type card. Don%26#39;t carry a weeks worth of cash, in case your wallet/purse is lost or stolen. Or use replaceable Travelers Checks.

Me and Hubby went last yr, 4 nights 5 days stayed at the luxor and did a whollllleeee bunch, even a little gambling and took 500 a piece, it was plenty..

even had some$$$ to get SOME THINGS AT THE AIRPORT ON THE WAY HOME..

I usually outline a reasonable budget for what I think will get me by and then double it. That might cover what my expenses typically end up being!

I actually made my goal of keeping to the $500 I brought for a week, even with gambling I didn%26#39;t have to go to the ATM once!

Depends on whether you plan on staying at the Luxor most of the time or whether you want to visit other hotels on/off the Strip. Either be prepared to do a lot of walking, or bring a little extra for cab fares. The monorail is another option, but from where you are you would have to get to MGM Grand to catch it.

For eating - most hotels have food courts that are kind of like the kind you would see in a shopping mall, so you can eat on the cheap if you don%26#39;t want a fancy restaurant or aren%26#39;t that hungry...

Have FUN!!

No more than you can afford to lose :)

Seriously.

I would also consider using your ATM/Debit card to minimize carrying cash around.

I would bring $1,000; should be enough cash. Then use credit cards for back up if needed.

I would not advise carrying a large amount of cash like that on your person. Too risky.

With such easy access to ATM%26#39;s today, there%26#39;s really no reason to.
