Last month, we gave you tips for throwing the perfect Las Vegas Bachelor Party for High Rollers.  If you are cutting back on some expenses and want a more economical alternative, you still have a lot of options. Here are some more great tips for throwing an awesome Las Vegas Bachelor Party on a Budget.

Article by Ploomy contributor Allison Dieppa.

We’ve previously discussed the heights – or rather, the lack of them – a bachelor party in Las Vegas can reach when you have the “moolah” to back it. That’s not to say, however, that Sin City isn’t kind to bachelors and their buddies who have significantly less green to spend. Although a bachelor party funded by thousands of dollars will knock your socks off and possibly make the groom have second thoughts, you definitely don’t need to be a high roller to have an amazing bachelor party in Vegas.

Treasure Island

With the economy on life support, now is the perfect time to get a great deal on a few Las Vegas hotel rooms for you and your gang during the bachelor party excursion. Nearly all the hotel-casinos are focusing on luxury with value, and one of the best examples of this is Treasure Island. There, for the low to mid $100’s a night, you can stay in one of their newly refurbished and renovated rooms. Sure, it doesn’t come with a stripper pole, but it does come with a big plush bed to pass out in, custom designed furnishings, and neat clock radios where you can dock your iPod. Throw in a mini-bar, and you have all you really need.

Although the economy is in the gutter and the last thing you might want to think or talk about is money, this is really the time smart men look at their finances more carefully. And for you men who have always kept a careful watch on your affairs of the wallet, you’re not smart, you’re genius (and probably getting laid).

We’ve talked about money management here on the site before, but the question I have for you today is, “Do you have a Personal Monthly Budget?”

If you don’t have a personal monthly budget, you really should think about putting one together. I used to have two roommates that worked (and still do) in the financial sector and both helped me realize how important personal finance is (especially for guys starting out in their twenties).  My old boss also once told me something that stuck. He said, “In your twenties, even though you may have already graduated from college, you’re still in school and learning what it takes to succeed.  In your thirties, the focus shifts more to starting a family and working on crafting your career.  And in your forties and fifties, if you play your cards right, you’ll be making the most money in your life.”
