About what would be the cheapest way to travel to Las Vegas besides driving

What would be the cheapest way to travel to Las Vegas besides driving?
I'm going out for a fun getaway from Albuquerque NM to Las Vegas NV. I always drive when I go but don't feel like driving there this time, yet I know I can drive there for about $50-$60 bucks. Does anyone know any Amtrak promo codes for this area and month or airline discounts. I'm trying not to spend a lot of money (I'd rather spend it on fun in Vegas). Please no spam.

Answer 1 :
a grey hound bus.
Answer 2 :
Greyhound bus would be cheaper, and almost as quick for a trip that short. You can meet interesting folks on a bus sometimes............
Answer 3 :
I flew out of Albuquerque to Vegas in August. We bought our tickets well in advance through southwest airlines and it wasn't bad at all. Definately better than driving (which we had done twice before from Alb!)
Answer 4 :
Well, what I did was to enroll in a bunch of traveling agencies i.e. Orbitz, Priceline, Expedia. They will reward you wilth kewl discounts. I just got a $75 coupon...3 night stay with plane and shuttle to and from the casino (Tropicana) for $170 per person. You should search around and have fun!

About how do you travel cross country with little money

How do you travel cross country with little money?
I am planning on going to Albuquerque, New Mexico and I live in South Carolina. I have very little money, but not enough to buy a plane ticket. I am 20 years old and currently going to community college for this semester then I am planning on leaving for NM. I've tried to get jobs for more money but no one is hiring -if that helps- (I would never hitch-hike) How can I go about getting to Albuquerque?

Answer 1 :
I you knew someone who was going all or part of the way, you could help them pay for gas and hitch a ride with them. Other than that, the cheapest way to go would be Greyhound. You could take the bus all of the way, or if you knew someone who could bring you part of the way, you could take the bus the rest of the way. I wouldn't hitchhike, either.
Answer 2 :
you could ride a bus or maybe a train.
Answer 3 :
Actually what you plan on doing sound like alot of fun. I am a foreinger living in Asia and I have done this type of thing when I go traveling. First, I would advise staying in hostels or couch surfing. Check Hostelbookers.com or a website of couch surfing (couchsurfing.net....I forget). Next, check for buses like greyhound or trains. Also, check for rideshares like on craigslist.com or something. Also, think about a motorcycle. if you can find a cheap one, it costs next to nothing filling the tank. Good luck but make sure to plan a route or specific city destinations to make sure your staying on track. Also, bring maps of those places to help plan for the unexpected.

About does anyone know of a reasonable way to travel between Santa Fe, NM and Denver/Fort Collins, CO

Does anyone know of a reasonable way to travel between Santa Fe, NM and Denver/Fort Collins, CO?
I need to find a way to travel from Santa Fe to Fort Collins or Denver (on Aug. 30th). I have looked into Greyhound and Amtrak but nothing really seems to run from Santa Fe and the schedule (from Albuquerque) does not quite fit. Renting a car is really expensive for this trip. Any other option or opinion would be very much appreciated. THANKS!!

There aren't many choice except flying, driving, or taking a bus. Your cheapest bet would be a bus. If you don't have a car, driving could be rather expensive. However, you could check out Allegiant Air Flights. They fly out of the Loveland/Fort Collins airport. I'm not sure if they have flights to Sante Fe but you could always check them out. http://www.fortloveair.com/

Albuquerque and Raton are approximately 220 miles apart. A car leaves Raton bound for Albuquerque, and it is t?
Albuquerque and Raton are approximately 220 miles apart. A car leaves Raton bound for Albuquerque, and it is traveling at 55 miles per hour. At the same time, a second car leaves Albuquerque bound for Raton, and it is traveling at 45 miles per hour. In how many hours will the cars meet? how step by step and an answer please.

Answer 1 :
I thought of the question like this, although it may be slightly nontraditional. Car A travels 55 mph, Car B travels 45 mph, together they can cover 100 mph. 220 / 100 = 2.2 hours. Car A travels (55*2.2) = 121 miles from Alb. and meets car B (45*2.2) = 99 miles from Raton.

About how far away is Albuquerque, NM from the Mojave Desert

How far away is Albuquerque, NM from the Mojave Desert?
My family and I are taking a trip from Albuquerque to California, I have heard the hardest part of this trip is the passing through the Mojave Desert because its scorching HOT. So I would like to travel through there in the night. So if any one knows how many hours it is away, that way i can leave accordingly from Albuquerque, Thanx We will be traveling at the end of Oct, We were also thinking about leaving Albuquerque 12 midnight Taking I 40 to California

Answer 1 :
Well, it depends on what time of the year you are traveling because I went through the Mojave Desert in Dec 1998 and there was a blizzard, all roads and highways were closed, we had to stay in Mojave for the night. "Winter months bring temperatures dipping to below 20 °F (-7 °C) on valley floors. In longer periods between storm systems, winter temperatures in valleys can approach 80 °F (27 °C)." Definitely check the weather as you get closer because it can change. Here are some average temps for the year: http://www.go-california.com/Mojave-Desert/Weather/ The Mojave Desert is actually starts in Arizona but if you are taking 40 all the way to CA, then Needles is the place you need to look up the weather for first and it's about 7hrs from Albuquerque so if you leave at 10a - noon, you can go through the desert at night, but it gets cold so you might run into snow, like I did in 1998. Update: shouldn't be too hot at the end of Oct, maxing out in the 80s.
Answer 2 :
I suppose it depends on your exact rout. the Mojave starts in western Arizona...see 1st site. then see 2nd site for map and distance.
