This for sure
Plus, learn to shop at 1-2am for groceries in the summer time
Avoid the strip unless someone is visiting from out of town or you have an itching to do some people watching. There are just as many good restaurants off the strips as on and at sometimes as much as half the price.
Take advantage of locals-only specials for those nights you do want to venture out. Most strip clubs have locals nights where there is no cover for locals. During the slower tourist times, casinos have good deals on room rates for locals.
I'm partial to the Station casinos for a nice place to go out, eat, gamble a little, etc.
I'm a notorious cheapskate, so I price match everywhere that offers it and take advantage of all of the trappings of being a local. If I have the urge to just grab a couple beers and drop $20, I'll hit a local tavern versus a snooty casino hotel bar. Half the price and no tourists to deal with
We also have a growing and vibrant arts scene downtown and a stunning Rocky Horror Picture Show cast ;-)
