I'm not a member of Costco. How do you become a member?

You can use any worldwide Costco. They have recently joined the 21st century allowing payment by credit card:(, Amex in the UK I believe.

We used to visit the Henderson location when we had a car. Now it's on a bus route, it's so worth a visit. We stay in Vegas for a long time and don't always want to go out in the evening. This place is fab for stocking up the room.

Yes its definitely worth a visit if you enjoy a tipple but not pay the strip prices .


We are not big drinkers but like a few beers on our trips and the selection at Total Wine is far more inspiring than the offerings on the strip. Saying that I will happily spend a few hours in the stage door bar drinking their cheap beer.:)

Cheaper than CostCo? We stock up there! Although it's a bit of a trek, we go to both CostCo (Spirits + gas) & Target (mixers + snacks/breakfasts) in one trip!

From memory the prices in Costco may have been slightly cheaper but the selection at Total Wine is far superior with prices comparative with the Walmart liquor store. For the strip this is the place to visit for alcohol IMO and they have staff who are knowledgeable on the products.

Thanks for this, I didn't realise we could use Costco worldwide.

Right, after a great week in Seattle it's time to head down to Vegas today. Got Penn & Teller tickets for tonight but nothing booked for the rest of the week, going to play it by ear a little.

Mind you having seen the high temperatures forecasted for this week I'm going to be staying inside most of the time!

That is a fantastic price per person for flight and hotel which is cheaper than the flight only.

Did you book separately or as a package?
