You may have heard of Tahiti Village Resort and Spa located just outside of the Las Vegas strip. It’s a family friendly resort with an amazing pool and a lazy river. To make it even better there are a lot of things that are free and available to you while you are staying at the resort. Here are a list of 7 tips you’ll want to know before you go.

1. When you check in as for a “Welcome Packet.” This is basically a pile of coupons that you can use on your stay. They also give you a paper with a list of 100 free things to do in Vegas. Another quick note-if you are hoping to do a Las Vegas show-once you are on the strip you will see a lot of booths with 1/2 price show tickets available. Check those out, they really do have cheaper tickets than what you may find online.
2. There is a free shuttle to the Las Vegas Strip. This is offered every 30 minutes. You can check the front desk to see what the times are for that day. This was super helpful for our family. That way you don’t need to find and pay for parking on the strip.
3. The resort offers free activities and crafts throughout the week. While we were there they had free root beer floats, Halloween crafts, bingo and more. You’ll see the schedule for your week at the front desk. Just take a picture of it and you’ll be ready to go. These are perfect if you have some down time and want to keep the kids entertained.
4. Wiki Wiki Shop offers some staples in case you forget them. If you have a kitchen in your hotel room, you can buy things like eggs, milk or microwave items. The shop also has some ice cream and cookies to purchase. This was a fun treat after a days swim.
5. The resort has a big size pool with a nice sand area for the little kids to build sand castles and play. It also has a shallow end for young kids and deeper ends for older kids. It also has a volleyball net which is fun. It is large enough to bring your own pool toys and play. The lazy river is huge and they provide free tubes to use as well. The water was nicely heated in the cooler months.
6. When booking your stay, be aware that weeknights are a ton cheaper than the weekend nights. If you stay Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights you will be paying a few hundred more PER night. So if possible stay the week days to save on money.
7. Another great way to save on money at the resort is to share a big room with another family. If you are going with friends and family anyway, check out their Royal Tahitian room where you have two separate suites joined together. It was cheaper for us to do that than to get our own suite.
