Top 10 Free things to do in
Las Vegas |
|
| 1. Viva Las Vegas Show at the Stratosphere |
|
| Visit the Stratosphere Tower. Shows start at 2pm
and 4pm daily. 1 hour duration. An all American Las Vegas Show with
comedy, dancing, singing and mini revues. A great FUN show. Check
the what's On magazine when you get into Vegas and you'll find free
admission for 2 coupons. The only catch is that you must buy a drink
each for $4 to $5 . But, we think it's worth it. Why is it FREE? Naturally
the hotel wants you to be there and as you walk through to the show,
hopefully you'll drop a few quarters in their slot machines. |

4. Volcano Eruption Show at the Mirage Hotel

Can you believe it a man made volcano erupting right on the Las
Vegas strip? It manages to stop the traffic nightly and is an awesome
sight on your first trip to Las Vegas. Starting at 6:00 p.m. outside
the Mirage Hotel and every 15 minutes there after until 11:30 p.m.
It lasts approx 8 minutes and operates 7 days a week (weather permitting).

the original Downtown Las Vegas Fremont Street and the FREE Show is
really a sight to behold. It presently starts at 8pm with shows every
hour on the hour finishing at midnight. The show is approx 12 minutes
long. A particularly good show overhead during the Christmas Holiday
period. The #301 CAT bus goes from the Las Vegas Strip to Downtown
Fremont Street every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day. Check with your hotel

| 6. Treasure Island battleship Show |
|
|
We thought we'd seen it all and then we got to the Treasure Island
Hotel & Casino. What will they think of next. 2 huge 50 foot
high battleships with oodles of pirates put on a spectacular re-enactment
of activities we'd expect at a Boston Tea Party. Plenty of lights,
explosions & FREE entertainment. Starts at 4pm daily with a
show every 90 minutes. Last show at 11:30 pm. Show lasts approx
14 minutes. ( please check with your hotel to ensure timings are

| 7. Bellagio Light and Water Fountain Show |
|
|
Sitting out on the patio of some of Las Vegas's finest restaurants
you would be mistaken to think you were in the heart of Lake Como
in Italy. A manmade lake sitting on the strip hosts a not too subtle
reminder that you are in fact still in Las Vegas. A fanfare of lights,
powerful sound and gushing jets of water fly up into the sky casting
a spray of excitement in the air. I've not been able to ascertain
the timings of the show, but it certainly is frequent enough to
catch your eye most any time in the evening. Best viewing from the
Paris hotel or Circo restaurant at the Bellagio. (weather permitting).
