Always one of my favorite
things about Vegas is the number of “Free” attractions there are to be
seen in this fabulous city….here’s a short list: (alphabetic order, I
think)…
Free Attractions in Las Vegas -
something for everyone....here's a quick list of some fun, interesting,
places to see....couple cost a few bucks...
Aquarium at the Silverton -
located within the Silverton Hotel, a 117,000-gallon
saltwater aquarium.....while there be sure to check out the Bass Pro Shop
that's attached to the Silverton, entrance is right near the Aquarium,
it's huge!! also has some water features inside, with live bass, trout,
etc. and a shooting gallery (I think rifles use infrared light to hit
targets with)…..
Bonnie & Clyde Getaway Car -
display located at Primm Valley Resort & Casino not only includes the
original car that the infamous robber couple of the 1930s died in, but
also the shirt Clyde died in, old Barrow family photos and a few handmade
items
manufactured by Clyde himself in prison. (While in Primm be sure to check
out the shopping outlets...)
Conservatory at Bellagio -
designed and setup by a team of 100 horticulturalists, it
features beautiful, elegant, elaborate arrangements of plants and flowers
in its bright,
airy atrium....often designed to fit the season....Christmas, Easter, July
4th, Chinese New Year, etc... Be sure to take your camera and gets some
beautiful pics...
Downtown - a little shabby in places, but still a lot to see, check out
our walking tour
at

nicest hotel/casino down there, could easily be a quality LV Strip
hotel/casino...
Ethel M Chocolate Factory -
Located seven miles from the Strip, its free admission entices us to the
factory, through which many a visitor goes for a behind-the-scenes look at
the candy-making (and tasting, 1st sample free) process....plus 3-acre
Botanical Cactus Gardens located there too...best to call for directions:
(702) 433-2500
Exotic Cars at Caesars Forum
Shops - amazing showroom. ($5 gen. adm., at least it's cheaper than
Wynn's and offers more variety)
Fountains at Bellagio - Every
evening, a water and music show plays again and again in the spectacular
fountains filling the quarter-mile-long lake in front of the Bellagio.
(TIP: have late lunch, dinner at Paris' Mon Ami Gabi restaurant,
sit out on the patio and watch/listen to the Bellagio water show....very
nice...also great for people watching)...
Fountain shows at Caesars - Forum
Shops - there's two shows - Fall of Atlantis (walk behind the fountain
and check out more than 100 species of ocean life in a 50,000-gallon
saltwater aquarium) and Festival ...moving statues...laser show...with
fire...fun to watch. Of course, the Forum Shops are something to see
too!!
Fremont Street Experience -
downtown, $70 million light canopy and 540,000-watt sound system....got to
see it to believe it.
Lion Habitat at MGM Grand -
"Majestic" lions (or cats) are fun to see and watch....don't get too
close....although I think they sometimes let you go inside...? maybe
not...
Masquerade Village at the Rio
- It's Mardi Gras Vegas-style ... wow...just like the fun in New Orleans!!
Music, dancing, party time and of course, FREE beads...whoa!!
M&M's World - next door to
the MGM Grand hotel-casino....4 floors, lots of stuff to see
here....check it out.
Museum of the American Cocktail
- located at Commander's Palace restaurant inside the Desert Passage mall
... for the education and preservation of the history of the cocktail,
arranged in a timeline format, tracing the history of the cocktail through
the past 200 years....can make you thirsty!!
Neon Museum - located
downtown end of Fremont St. Mall - open-air museum created by city of Las
Vegas to preserve vital pieces of Vegas history....boy I hate to admit it
but these signs sure bring back some old, great memories...
Penske Wynn Ferrari Maserati at
Wynn's Resort - Ferrari and Maserati --- awesome machines...wow!!
however, there is a charge of $10 for this one unless you already are
an Owner!!
Sirens of TI - lively gals
(Sirens) and guys play temptress/pirate roles…..watch Sirens battle a band
of pirates in Sirens' Cove, located at the front entrance of the popular
hotel and casino.....be careful, this place can really get jammed up with
people....hang on to those kids!!

peek at the majestic animals....they are something to see!!
