There was a few convience stores ect to buy beer, liquor, ect close to mgm. If your standing at mgm and looking across at New York turn right and it was about a quarter mile down or so on your right. I think its a Denny's somewhere in there also.
Walk through the casino to get to where you walk out and New York is straight across then turn right to get your low priced beer ect. Don't go to Hooters Casino to eat or gamble. Place was a shit hole and food was terrible.
BUY THE DAMN BUS TICKETS TO LEAVE THE AIRPORT. I think 3 days is $24 a person. Ride from airport to mgm was $12 in a cab and its one of the closest casinos to the airport. My feet hurt like hell from walking all over the place. First thing I would do is get on the strip bus and ride it back and forth once or twice and look at what all is out there then start your trip.
If you wanna drink for cheap just goto cortez downtown and sit at the roulette table. Order the drinks from the 50 year old lolita's until they look 20. Leave promptly. I had $10 or so on the table with $.25 chips and $1 min bet I got 6 drinks in and looked like a whale with all those chips. Left with a good buzz and $16 I think including tipping my newfound 20 year old friend. Get outta downtown before sunset. Bus ride there from the strip.
I drank a lot at mgm casino also but its $5 min bet at the roulette tables so you gotta get lucky to keep drinkin. There was some bs horse game in mgm with people sitting all around betting $.25 a race on horses about every 3 minutes that were drunk as hell and waitress' were coming by quite often. Find that game for some good cheap fun. Its a old game with a glass cover with seats all around it with mechanical horses that race back and forth for one lap. Cheapest way to drink at mgm was this.
Key is in the casino when your playing and you here the "Drinks" from the waitress, speak up and order right then and there. Throw her a dollar every drink she brings and she'll come back every 15 minutes. I only bought two drinks at a bar with the mgm beverage credit of $15 and it was $20 for two drinks so watch that credit. If you brought beer back to your room and kept it cold you could stay in the casino and drink and go back to the room and grab more beers if you wanted to. Plenty of people will be carrying beer ect throughout the casino and up and down the strip.
Get as many of the hooker trading cards as you can when they pop them at you. Its fun.
Have fun.
