Things to See for Free in Las Vegas

Free drinks. Free shirts. Free buffets. Las Vegas is full of free stuff - you just have to know where to look. It's estimated that Sin City's Casinos spend over 3 million dollars a day giving away free stuff.

Maybe you've had sufficient craps or blackjack for the day. And maybe you've already spent 5 dollars for a marker to "O" at the Bellagio. Need some ideas for fun and free things to see or do?

The Bellagio's preponderant fountains put on shows throughout the day. Each show lasts about 5 minutes, and consists of dissimilar music that the fountains dance and jump to in front of the hotel on the strip. While the week they start at 3 p.m. And go off every hour on the hour. On weekends they start at noon and go every half hour.

After the fountains you can walk inside the hotel and check out the preponderant Conservatory. It's just past the hotel lobby and is a great place for pictures. The Conservatory's display changes often and all the time consists of some huge props set among gorgeous displays of flowers and plants and jumping fountains.

North on the strip from the Bellagio make sure to stop at Caesar's Palace. Settled in the Forum Shops are some weighty fountains with statues of Zeus and other gods. These statues come to life every hour on the hour and put on a show in which they tell stories while lightning cracks and a storm rolls in.

At the Venetian you can walk nearby a mall that is designed like the streets and canals of Venice. You can take a gondola ride, though this will set you back about bucks, or you can just walk along the canals and listen to the gondola driver's singing as they navigate the canals. The ceilings are painted like the sky and you'll be amazed by how much it feels like you're walking straight through Venice on a cool summer evening.

If you want to tour off the strip - head north to uptown Las Vegas and Fremont Street. Here you'll find the Fremont road sense - the largest Lcd screen in the world. It covers Fremont road like a giant canopy for quite a few blocks down the street, over Binions and the Golden Nugget and the other uptown casinos. While the day it is great because you're exterior walking, but everything is shaded by the canopy. At night, the screen plays a dissimilar light show every hour on the hour. Sometimes its more fun to watch the hundreds of people all staring up at the screen than the show itself.

These are a few of the things you can do for free if you're on a funds in Vegas. And don't forget to check all of the minuscule magazines that you can get nearby the dissimilar hotels and casinos - usually they contain coupons to dissimilar restaurants or free items you can claim by signing up at dissimilar casinos. Pick one up - they're a great resource.
