Las Vegas
The city that reinvents itself every few years — and always delivers
Las Vegas is simultaneously the most expensive and the cheapest US destination depending on how you play it. Cheap flights, free shows, buffets that've gotten very good, and world-class headliners make it accessible. The traps are gambling, bottle service, and anything inside a casino — avoid those and Vegas can be surprisingly affordable.
