Just because I sneak popcorn and soda into the theater doesn't mean I won't enjoy the movie.

I was hoping I would see this post.
Saving money is a little different than what you're talking about. You're just being cheap, which is okay.
But, you're losing out on part of the Vegas experience, which is the wonderful restaurants, the shows, if you have time....
I'm not saying you have to gamble thousands...we don't. We're more interested in seeing our friends, networking....etc. We rarely have time to gamble.
To truly enjoy Vegas, you have to spend a little bit. I can understand the bottled water and snack thing. They ARE offensively expensive....
You'll make your mortgage. Relax and enjoy.
