Not everything in Las Vegas is expensive. In fact, you´ll find that there is a lot of great entertainment that you don´t have to pay for in this city. Since the casinos want people to gamble, they are all trying desperately to outdo one another in providing amazing entertainment to draw people in. This can work to your advantage if you are careful to avoid the actual casinos!
Freemont Street is definitely one of the most popular places to go for free. This street is covered with an arched dome full of lights that play video and are programmed to show off some amazing light shows after dark. There are plenty of shops and restaurants along this foot-traffic only street and it´s a pleasant place for a stroll in the evening, even without the light shows.
Outside several of the hotels, you´ll also find some fun things to watch. The Bellagio has a very cool fountain show that is lit at night, but quite enjoyable by day, as well. Inside Circus Circus there are free circus acts to watch and lots of carnival style fun.
Take a stroll through the Forum Shops at Ceaser´s or enjoy a walk along an authentic Venetian canal at the Venetian. While these are actually shopping centers, they serve as entertainment all on their own, thanks to incredibly intricate and beautiful designs that make these places look just like the real thing.
Just taking a walk along the Las Vegas Strip, you´ll find plenty of sights to see that cost you absolutely nothing. It´s a great way to get some exercise and to avoid spending any money.
