Las Vegas Travel: Date Ideas for Couples on a Tight Budget

Dating on a budget doesn't have to be dull and boring, especially when in Las Vegas. Even if a couple is low on cash, it is still easy to find cheap, but romantic date ideas when in the "Entertainment Capital of the World." In fact, some are even free-of-charge. Whether you're young adults, newlyweds or already married partners, Las Vegas-bound couples can try a number of interesting activities and attractions that can suit even the tightest budget.

Riding a Venetian Gondola

At a very affordable price, the Italian gondola ride of The Venetian allows couples to imbibe that Italian romance as they pass by the hotel's Venetian streetscape. A gondolier also sings romantic songs for them as they ride and glide through the Grand Canal and a number of Venetian shops aptly surrounded by a ceiling that emulates a blue sky.

Watching the Las Vegas Sunset

There are many options for couples wanting to check out a romantic Las Vegas sunset. At a cheap price, they can watch the sunset from the Stratosphere Observation Deck. Another option is to climb up the Paris Las Vegas replica of the Eiffel Tower. Along Sunset Road, they can also watch the planes land with the sunset as the backdrop. Bringing some chips and refreshments while watching the sunset makes the dating experience even more fun.

Exploring Food and Wine Tasting Events and Taking Free Food and Wine Classes

Learning something new together can be delightfully engaging and exciting for tourists in Las Vegas. There are a number of classes that lovers can try such as Wine 101, Cheese 101 and Healthy Cooking classes, which are quite popular in various parts of the city. A number of specialty stores and hotels also frequently hold food and wine tasting events. These information are typically posted in the establishments' official websites and other Las Vegas travel and event sites. Food tours in chocolate stores, cheese shops and ethnic food markets provide free food and souvenirs for the tour attendees as well.

Simply Strolling Around the Las Vegas Strip

Simply walking and strolling around the free attractions and landmarks in the Las Vegas Strip allow couples to take photos and videos of their fun times in Las Vegas. They can take advantage of the premier but typically free offerings of the many hotels along Las Vegas Boulevard and pose behind the famous Las Vegas Sign located just south of Mandalay Bay. They can also explore the free romantic attractions of the Bellagio including the Bellagio Conservatory and the iconic Fountains of Bellagio, a popular photo op spot for couples and newlyweds.

When walking seems too tiring already, the Las Vegas Monorail offers couples a very affordable and convenient option with the bonus of seeing varying areas of The Las Vegas Strip from above the ground.
