what are fun things to do in Vegas?

Question

Im going to vegas for my bday in november. What are fun thing to do there. I'm goin on a budget. thanks for your help

Answer 1

Since you're on a budget, gambling is NOT advisable. Remember Vegas is about gambling and show business. Go to shows. You never even have to leave the strip; so transportation by bus will save you money versus renting a car or taking taxis. There are also a lot of FREE options here in Vegas. Being on the strip at night there's likely to be a free show near the MGM Grand. Also don't forget about downtown. The Fremont Street experience has a free Viva Vision canopy and light show. There is a variety of free entertainment (tips are accepted). Lots of musical acts, clowns, artists, etc perform as you're walking through downtown and you can stop and enjoy the shows. Downtown is also a good place to eat. The buffets are very affordable and on Sundays the buffets serve champagne.

Answer 2

There are lots and lots of things to see and do for free or not expensive. I have attached a webpage that lists all the must see and do things when in Vegas. Most are free or not too expensive. You can also get into show cheap. Go to the half price ticket booths and see what shows are available for that night. You will be amazed at the saving.They also have attractions and restaurants that will be about half price. You get the same thing at half the price. Everyone now a days is here on a tight budget so you will feel right at home.

It is all about how you approach Las Vegas. Here is the best and most budget conscious approach; see it as an experience. There are about two dozen enormous resort hotels on the Strip. They all feature casinos, lounges, clubs, attractions, theaters, restaurants and shopping. The size and scope of these resorts is difficult to grasp. You can literally wander around inside of some of these places for days and not see it all. We are talking hotels with 3 to 4 thousand rooms.



The big three must sees at night are the dancing fountain show in front of Bellagio, the Sirens of TI pirate show in front of Treasure Island and the erupting volcano in front of the Mirage. All are free and there is a free tram that connects Treasure Island with Mirage.



Other places you do not want to miss are the Venetian, Caesar's Palace, Planet Hollywood and Paris. The Venetian has canals running through it with gondolas. The gondoliers sing Italian songs. The architecture is something to behold, as well. Check out the ceilings painted like the Sistine Chapel. Paris has the Eiffel Tower as well as the best buffet for breakfast. Do not miss this. Planet Hollywood has over 115 shops as well as the best value buffet.



Caesars Palace is gigantic. It has over 200 exclusive shops and oppulent decore including a sprial escalator. The MGM Grand is also massive. The distance from the front door to the rear is over a quarter mile. It is loaded with movie memorabilia and has real lions on display, too.



The Flamingo has an animal habitat with flamingos. It is just outside the buffet, which is also pretty good.



I will stop there. You should wear comfortable shoes and explore. You never know what you will find as Las Vegas is always changing. One year, we saw an old style organ-grinder with a trainned monkey dressed like a bell hop. When you put a dollar in his cup, he would tip his little hat to you. I had a heck of a time dragging my wife away from the little guy.



You may find acrobats or jugglers or musicians putting on shows, too. It is just so much fun. My wife goes nuts shopping. Be adivsed! If you venture into the Fashion Show Mall at mid Strip, be careful. My wife walked into there and was faced with so many choices she nearly went into total brain-lock. I had to talk her down.



You will have a ball.

Get on the Deuce bus early morning ride on front seat upper deck!



Take monorail from MGM to Sahara. They have (Sahara casino) has $1 shot glasses you keep the glass, $1 hotdogs, $1 BlackJack and other gambling. Rollercoaster, Nascar Cafe. A 1star* Buffet. Seat yourself and get your grub!



Go to Olympic Gardens $20 entry fee and watch men strip upstairs. On the strip near Oakey/Wyoming Street. About 1/4 mile from the Stratosphere. Across the street is a bar called Dinos. I never been in neither. But really wanting to go. The economy and being unemployed is holding me back.



Best Buffet is Planet Hollywood! They have a big bertha machine play for free 1x a day with slotclubcard signup. Win $1 Million or free food or nothing at all. Worth a try!



See Bellagio conservatory. See Chocolate fountain out back. Not to far away.



Play Megabucks just once $3 max bet required to win $10 million or more.

Downtown deep fried twinkie, oreos. Get free beads if the showgals are outside, must ask! 11Am open time.



Imax Movie theatre at Palms Casino. off strip on Flamingo.















Do avoid these buffet places: Circus Circus, Silverton, Southpointe, Tropicanna, Rivierra. NASTY! Its 5* diahrea!





EDITED IN 5pm: MGM has tigers/lions on display near front entrance. Take pics! MGM has removed the keno lounge as seen in that movie Vegas Vacation with Chevy Chase.

You will never be bored in Las Vegas. Not only is it affordable, and very luxurious but full of activities. You don't have to gamble or have a lot of money to have a great time.

Here is a list of fun things to do and some free attractions

Remember to see the Bellagio fountains, the Mirage Volcano and Fremont street at night.

Answer 6

If you need affordable, you can get a really great deal on a hotel and on a Vegas Fun Book at the same site. 3 days hotel for just $199 & Fun Book for $50 - it's basically $500 in free gambling chips so when you gamble you don't do it with your own $$$! I've used these both 3x & of course you get to keep whatever you win!



Here is a link to just one site where you can get them for you & your friends :) I love these things!

Answer 7

All the ads tell you about the casinos, gambling and shows. The real excitement is in the national parks that surround Las Vegas. Just to name a few: Red Rock, Lake Mead, Valley of Fire, even a ski area in the winter. Explore them before you come by looking at VegasNature.com Besides they are a lot less expensive to visit.
