Tix4Tonite - great deals on meals and shows for less than full price

Tix4Tonite is a Las Vegas-based business that offers discounts on shows and restaurants in the Las Vegas area.

The name reflects the type of services offered: discounted show tickets and dining
coupons available for same day purchase only. The offerings change on a day-to-day basis depending on what's available for individual shows and which restaurants are participating in the discount offers, but many of the offerings are currently available every day, such as the Titanic and Bodies exhibits at Luxor Hotel & Casino and the comedy show at The Tropicana Hotel & Casino.

There are currently six locations around the Las Vegas area:
Fashion Show Mall (at the Strip entrance outside of Neiman Marcus)
Hawaiian Marketplace (at Polo Towers, across from City Center)
North Strip next to Riviera Hotel & Casino
Downtown at 4 Queens Hotel (Fremont Street side)
Showcase Mall (at the base of the giant Coke bottle)
Bill's Casino (corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo Rd)

The lists for each day's discounts are posted at each outlet at 9:30 a.m. The locations open at 10:00 a.m., and a line usually starts to form at the more popular locations outside the Fashion Show Mall and Bill's Casino shortly after 9:00 a.m.

On my recent trip, I purchased a half price ticket for the Titanic exhibit at Luxor from the Hawaiian Marketplace location. I walked up at 11:00 a.m. with only one person in front of me and purchased my $30 ticket for $13.75 because I also had a $2 discount coupon from their website's "COUPON" tab. They gave me a receipt and a VIP pass along with another $2 coupon to use the next day to bypass the line, but I was leaving and was unable to use either of them. I took my receipt to the Titanic box office and exchanged it for my real ticket before entering the exhibit. Quick and easy.

They also offer "Standby Golf", which has discounted greens fees for select tee times at various Las Vegas area golf courses. A link on their website shows the kinds of options available for this new service if you're interested.

It was a very positive experience. They have employees with a paper copy of the current listings standing by the line to help you with any questions before you even get up to the window to make your selection. They also suggest alternate shows, dining options, and show/dining times if you're schedule is flexible.

This sort of option may not be the best thing for people who like to plan out their entire trip before they leave, but if you're willing to go with one of several options you'll likely find something to fit your budget and schedule.

VIP passes and gift cards are also available online.
