Las Vegas finally cooled off, and for many locals that means noodle soup. Pho is one of the best-value meals in town, but prices have crept up. Here's how to keep it affordable.
1. Go at lunch
Many noodle shops run weekday lunch pricing or combos. The same bowl can cost less before 3 PM.
2. Size up smart
A large is often only a dollar or two more and covers lunch plus leftovers. Ask for broth on the side to take half home.
3. Look past pho
Bún bò Huế, wonton soup, ramen and udon shops all run cool-weather deals. Rotate and chase the special.
4. Check deals before you drive
Specials change daily. Las Vegas Food Guru collects local deals in one place. Grab a coupon.
5. Bring a friend
Egg rolls and spring rolls are often cheaper in a two-person combo.
