FREE THINGS TO DO IN LAS VEGAS

Raging battles, fierce beasts, sweet treats — there are plenty of free Las Vegas attractions to delight you and your family..

The Aquarium at the Silverton

Located within the cozy Silverton Hotel, a 117,000-gallon saltwater aquarium provides entertainment on a scale one can enjoy only in Las Vegas.

Bonnie & Clyde Getaway Car

This display 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.

CBS Television City Research Center

Ever thought you could do the job of a network executive, deciding which shows are put on the air and which ones end up in the waste bin? The network jobs are hard to come by, but you can weigh in on the decision-making process by letting your opinions be known at the CBS Television City Research Center at MGM Grand.

Conservatory at Bellagio

Crafted by a team of 100 horticulturalists, the Bellagio’s conservatory features elegant, elaborate arrangements of plants and flowers in its bright, airy atrium.

Ethel M Chocolate Factory

Ethel M Chocolates panders to the sweet tooth in all of us. 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) process.

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.

Fountain shows at Caesars

No civilization put on a greater spectacle than ancient Rome, and now you have a chance to witness the glory for yourself at Caesars Palace’s fountain shows.

Fremont Street Experience

The Fremont Street Experience will have you dancing in the street with its $70 million light canopy and 540,000-watt sound system.

Las Vegas Preview Studios

Take part in the advertising and product testing of a wide array of products, including movie trailers, television shows, slot machines and even food. Become a part of the process and give your opinion on the latest products.

Lion Habitat at MGM Grand

One look into the MGM Grand’s lion habitat and you’ll be hooked. The majestic cats command adoration whether they’re chasing a large ball, licking their immense paws or just lyin’ around.

Marjorie Barrick Museum

With displays of Western culture, desert life and the history of ancient Mexico, the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History is both educational and vibrant.

Masquerade Village at the Rio

It’s Mardi Gras Vegas-style at the Rio’s Masquerade Village. Revelers are immersed in the sights and sounds of the world’s most famous carnival.

M&M’s World

M&M’s World may be the most delicious attraction in Vegas. And judging by its scores of visitors, M&M’s World must be doing something right.

The Museum of the American Cocktail

Dedicated to the education and preservation of the colorful history of the cocktail, The Museum of the American Cocktail is arranged in a timeline format, tracing the history of the cocktail through the past 200 years.

Neon Museum

The open-air museum was created by the city of Las Vegas to preserve these vital pieces of Vegas history.

Penske Wynn Ferrari Maserati

A longtime fan of the exquisite craftsmanship of Ferraris, Steve Wynn has created the ultimate tribute to the Italian carmaker with the opening of Penske Wynn Ferrari Maserati.

The Sirens of TI

Part muse, part temptress, part pirate, watch as the Sirens of TI battle a band of pirates in Sirens’ Cove, located at the front entrance of the popular hotel and casino.

Streetmosphere

The Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian adds a little ‘Streetmosphere’ to the shopping experience, providing fun and entertainment for all that visit.

Sunset Stampede

Take a symphonic journey through the Wild West at Sam’s Town.

Volcano at the Mirage

Every hour after dusk, the Mirage volcano explodes forth for crowds of curious Strip onlookers.

White Tiger Habitat at the Mirage

Siegfried & Roy’s famous white tigers are living in style at the Mirage. The sparkling, multimillion-dollar habitat offers visitors a free peek at the majestic animals. Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo
The Flamingo’s brilliant neon sign is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable on the Strip. And visitors can take a closer look at the creatures who inspired the bright display at the hotel-casino’s very own wildlife habitat.
