Free Vegas: Free Shows in Vegas

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 Las Vegas Casinos spend over 3 million dollars a day giving away free stuff.

Maybe you've had enough blackjack or roulette for the day. And maybe you've already spent $150 dollars for a ticket to "O" at the Bellagio. Need some ideas for cheap and free things to see or do?

The Bellagio's famous fountains put on shows throughout the day. Each show lasts about 5 minutes, and consists of different music that the fountains dance and jump to in front of the hotel on the strip. During 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 Conservatory. It's just past the hotel lobby and is a great place for pictures. The Conservatory's display changes often and always consists of some huge props set among gorgeous displays of flowers and plants and jumping fountains.

North on the strip from the Bellagio stop at Caesar's Palace. Located in the Forum Shops are some gigantic 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 around 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 $15 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 through Venice on a cool summer evening.
