Nellis Outlet Store From Nellis Auctions Open At Local Mall
If you’ve ever been on Nellis Auction, you know how addictive it can be. Bidding wars at the last minutes over that item you didn’t know you needed. Driving to pickup at Nellis Auction can feel like arriving at a well run refugee camp. But what if the “auction” part is exhausting to you? Introducing you to a new Nellis Auction store that will take the “chance” out of a deal.
The newly opened location at Meadows Mall isn’t like your normal Nellis Auction experience. Gone are the bidding wars and frustrating additions of time that lead to a new, returned or gently used item that costs nearly as much as buying it new. No no, this is retail.
How Does The Nellis Outlet Store Work?
The Nellis Outlet store at Meadows Mall sells things direct to consumer for one flat price. No bidding, just flat pricing on every item.
The location is open from Friday to Tuesday and the price goes down like a pair of dress pants on prom night as the week goes on. On Friday, all of the items inside of the liquidation store are $7. Every single item, up and down the aisle, $7. Then on Saturday, the price drops down to $5 per item. Then $3 on Sunday and $1 on Monday.
Tuesdays feature the best deal – $0.50 per item – but by then that week’s drop of goods are probably well picked over. But if what is left is what you want, you’re in luck!
There are other liquidator stores out there (Bulldog Liquidators comes to mind) but Nellis Auction tends to have some pretty great items up on the site. The Nellis Outlet store is a chance to shop the site “IRL”.
Secret Tips to Save Money on Your Next Vacation
1. Try to Negotiate Your Lodging
Did you know that hotel fees can be negotiable? Fidelity.com points out that, “You may be able to negotiate the online price by calling a hotel directly, or asking if they have any discounts for students, government employees, or members of certain groups, such as AAA.” So, don’t settle for that price you see on your laptop. Try to do better. It’s a secret tip that can pay off bigtime.

2. Get Smart with Your Lodging
Did you know some hotels that are virtually the same, including the same brand, can be cheaper just a few miles apart? As a general rule, hotels that are near the airport are more expensive. So, you can look at the hotels you want to stay at and their multiple locations in the area for the best rate. “Some hotels that are under construction may rent rooms at a discount, which is a great option if you can deal with the noise,” Fidelity.com points out.

3. Snack Your Way to a Cheaper Trip
Going out to eat on vacation can be one of the most exciting things about the trip. But, if you want to save on cash, skip a few meals out and opt for healthy, hearty snacks. Pack (or buy at a local store) some protein-rich snacks, like protein bars and meal bars, and limit your dining out. You can still enjoy some of the best food the area has to offer, just not as much of it. This is a way to stay fit on your trip, too. A lot of people don’t think of this tip, so it’s a bit of a secret.

4. Timing is Everything
You’ve heard it so many times in life: Timing is everything. That’s true for travel, too. Research to find the least-busy times to visit your destination. If you travel during those downtimes, you’ll save big. While this is a common tip, something people forget is that every vacation destination has its own peak time. So, be specific for your travel spot.

5. Travel with a Friend
If you’re thinking of traveling solo to a place you’ve always wanted to visit, go cheaper by traveling with a friend. You two can share lodging fees. Also, sometimes there are more deals and discounts for those traveling with multiple people. I always do this when going to a big music festival, if it’s far away. I’ll usually meet my friend there, and we share lodging costs. It also makes the trip more fun.

6. Find Free Spots to Travel
Look for some free attractions in your travel area. Chances are, they won’t be as packed as the big-named places, too. You can still visit some of the popular landmarks. But, if you add a trip to a national park or free museum to your itinerary, it will save you some cash.

7. Max Out Your Memberships
Are you a member of any random groups? You might have travel deals just waiting for you. Check everything, from your college alumni membership to your credit cards, for travel discounts. You may be surprised what you find.

8. Don't Get Picky
Say you just want to get out on a fantastic trip, but you don’t really have a place in mind. That’s actually a good thing. Take an hour to look at flight specials happening right now. If you aren’t picky on where to travel, chances are you’ll find a great rate on airfare and lodging somewhere. Once you find the most reasonable place to travel, then you can start looking at what to do when you’re there.

9. Go Popular
This is a bit ironic, but often times, the most popular tourist destinations are also the cheapest. That’s because there is a lot of competition for all those travelers. So, big-named destinations like Orlando, Florida, or Las Vegas, Nevada, tend to have really good travel deals. Go popular, or go home.
