• I took a three-day trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, that cost nearly $3,700.
• Luxury hotel stays and transportation were the priciest aspects of my trip.
• Traveling during shoulder season and spending nothing on experiences helped me save.

If there’s anywhere to splurge on luxury travel, it’s Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The wealth enclave comprising Teton County is packed with top-tier resorts and wellness experiences, multimillion-dollar vacation homes, and elevated Western boutiques surrounded by mountains.

I took a three-day trip to Jackson Hole in September. Here’s what it cost:

Transportation: $980 on rideshare services and round-trip flight tickets from NYC

Accommodation: $2,465 for two nights in upscale hotels and one night in a hostel

Food: $230

Activities: Free

While nearly $3,700 may sound steep for a short getaway, I could have easily doubled my budget had I not been conscious of how I spent — and when.

Looking back on the trip, I think I did a fine job balancing my budget by indulging in some areas at the expense of others.

WYOMING, Mich. — Several homes had to be evacuated and gas was shut off to a few dozen homes Sunday after a gas explosion threat.

In an attempt to clear up misinformation spreading on social media throughout the day, Wyoming Police released a statement regarding the situation.

A spokesperson says their officers responded to a domestic situation near Maplelawn and Buchanan. After an argument, WPD says the man inside turned on the gas in the home and threatened to cause an explosion.

Officers evacuated nearby homes while DTE and the fire department turned off gas to the surrounding area.

WPD says the man exited the residence after several hours, and is in custody.

The statement finished by further clarifying that the incident was not a hostage situation, as has been speculated on social media.

DTE was working throughout the evening to restore services to the affected homes.

LARAMIE, Wyo. — The Wyoming Cowboys nailed a barrage of crucial 3-pointers against one of the nation’s top shooting teams on Saturday and downed Nevada 66–63 in an instant classic of a game.

With the win, the Pokes improved to 6–0 in the Arena-Auditorium, the best home start since the 2021–22 season.

“That is a good win against a quality opponent, and it was gritty, not pretty,” UW head coach Sundance Wicks said. “We just want to win, and for us pressure is good and stress is bad. We want pressure and our pace puts pressure on opponents and teams try to speed us up and we want opponents to have stressful possessions late in the game.”

The contest featured 23 lead changes and seven ties. Wyoming hit 11 3-pointers, making it the third straight game with double-digit triples. In the process, the team shot a season-high 52.4% from beyond the arc.

Wyoming was led by Obi Agbim’s 18 points. He was 4-of-7 from 3-point, and currently leads the conference in 3-point percentage.

Touko Tainamo scored a season-high 15 points, going 2-of-3 from deep and 7-of-8 from the free throw line. Dontaie Allen added a trio of threes, tying a career best, and led the team with five rebounds.

Matija Belic scored eight points and hit two 3-pointers in his first action of the season.

Nevada held an early advantage on the Cowboys in a defensive battle in the opening minutes. However, five straight points from Agbim helped give Wyoming an early 8–7 lead.

Wyoming went on a 9–0 run over nearly four minutes to take a 17–9 lead halfway through the first half. Four different Cowboys added buckets during the run, including a triple from Belic for his second of the game.

Nevada would respond, though. The Wolf Pack held Wyoming scoreless for nearly three minutes, and quickly made it a 19–16 game. Nevada eventually took a lead, but an Allen three gave Wyoming a 26–24 lead.

The two teams continued to trade the lead through the first five minutes of the second half. Wyoming went to the rim on an 8–0 run for a 41–36 lead with 12 minutes left. The Wolf Pack then battled back and tied the game at 46–46 halfway through the half on another Davidson 3-pointer. Tainamo answered right back with a three of his own.

With four minutes left, Allen and Agbim added a pair of threes to give the Brown and Gold a 61–59 advantage. Nevada would take its last lead of the game with just a minute and a half left when a jumper put the team up 63–61, but Agbim responded immediately with a 3-pointer that put Wyoming in the lead for good.
