Earthlings, what happens in this article, stays in this article.
Wherever we land on your planet we see worried humans. They are not yet depressed, but they are recessed. Yes, it is recession all over the planet and all Earthlings must watch how they spend their money.
Recession is making the Earth greener! We do not like seeing so many humans financially suffering right now, but the global recession is making your planet greener – whether Bubba admits it or not. When humans spend less money, then all the activities in making the product or service are not necessary, so less of the planet’s resources are being used up.
Why do humans spend so much money on so much crap? At the end of the day, you cannot take those things with you when you die. What you can take with you is your life experiences. So, human, if you do have some savings left and want to have an experience of your life, then may we suggest Viva Las Vegas? We have been to millions of planets across the galaxy but there is no place like Las Vegas.
Viva Las Frugal, Baby! You can still be frugal and go there. In fact, with the suggestions we offer, you can be Viva Las Frugal!
Unemployment in Las Vegas hit 7.9% in November and the county's foreclosure rate is one of the nation’s highest. Why do Earthlings call Vegas 'Sin City?' Apparently the luck has gone sour. Sin City bad luck is good luck for frugal Earthling vacationers.
1. Hotels are Cheap.
Viva Las Vegas has 141,000 hotel rooms and occupancy rates have dropped by 15%.
Wynn Las Vegas under $200 a night
El Cortez just $14 a night (Insane!)
2. Cut-rate Rental Cars.
Rent some cars for $8.95 a day on Hotwire.com.
3. Gourmet Meals for Less.
Dine at a culinary hotspot like L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon or
Craftsteak. Enjoy multicourse tasting menus (langoustine
fritters, diver scallops) are around $75.
4. Recession Happy Hours!
Red Square, in the Mandalay Bay - Buy two martinis and get a free ounce of caviar (with all the fixings)
Ellis Island Casinio and Brewery - $6.99 steak-and-beer dinners
5. Enjoy the Show. Cirque du Soleil is discounting tickets for the first time ever. Book through Travelzoo.com anad get as much as 50% off.
There are so many things to do in Las Frugal right now with the economy being in recession. My brother-in-law Drauk has gone wild there. Please let us know if you see him.
Put the stimulus package on black and let it ride.
