Las Vegas, Nevada
A trip to Sin City doesn't have
to send you home broke and
regretful— just avoid the slots and blackjack
tables at the casinos. In fact, visiting Las
Vegas on a budget is a practical and fun-
filled way to take in the neon lights. There
are affordable upscale hotels on and off
the Strip, happy hour specials on food and
drink all around the city, and even a slew
of free attractions, including the famous
Fountains of Bellagio and the Wildlife
Habitat at the Flamingo. Oh, and don't
forget to snap a selfie at the Welcome to
Fabulous Las Vegas sign.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Today, Oklahoma's capital is nicknamed the Modern Frontier, thanks to
its unique combination of Western cowboy culture, working stockyards
and oil wells, and urban attractions. Wander Scissortail Park and visit a number
of museums, including the
National Cowboy & Western
Heritage Museum, Oklahoma
City National Memorial &
Museum, and Oklahoma City
Museum of Art. And don't miss
the opportunity to attend a
horse show in the Horse Show
Capital of the World — many
are free or priced very low.
Oklahoma City is also known
for its Bricktown entertainment
district, an old warehouse
district that transformed into an
entertainment hot spot with a
scenic canal winding through it.
