Top 10 FREE Things to Do on the Las Vegas Strip

I never thought I would be a city girl and living in Las Vegas is still a challenge for me some times, but the weather is unbeatable and the list of things to do is nearly endless; no matter what your interests are.

My list of the Top 10 FREE Things To Do in Las Vegas is far from all inclusive, but are all spots not to miss and spots I love to frequent,  even as a resident.

10. It seems simple, but just take a walk.  The massive hotels, lights and hoards of people are always a sight to see and take in.  Put on you pedometer and start walking; from street performers to some crazy tourists you will hit 30,000 steps before you know it!

Hint: Be sure to walk by the Wynn; all the casinos are amazing to walk by but don't skip this one just because of how far of a walk it is, there is a waterfall that makes it worth it!

9. Take the trek to the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign for a photo op.  The sign is a good trek from the heart of the strip, but having that photo when you return home will make it worth it!

The sign just recently added additional parking spots and a pedestrian crossing light to make the area easier to traverse.

8. Walk the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood; from entertainment, to shopping and amazing food there is something for everyone.  The Miracle Mile has two free shows; an indoor rain storm and a fountain show.  With the painted sky and life-like rainstorm it is easy to forget you are indoors!

The Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood; all the best of the outdoors without the Vegas heat.

7. Trek to the "older" end of the strip and catch some FREE circus acts at the Circus Circus.  Shows start at 11am daily.

6. Head to Fremont Street, where the casinos still use bulb lights and there is no telling what you might see.  I will do an entire post on The Fremont Street Experience later but just know, the sights and maybe even smells are worth the trip!

5. Half way through the list, so by now you have probably realized your going to be getting in a ton of walking time, be sure to walk into as many of the most notable casinos possible, as they all have something to offer once inside.

One of the many notable places to stop; Paris!

4. Stroll the Brooklyn Bridge by the New York City skyline; with a photo op at the Statue of Liberty.
Fun Fact:  The Las Vegas Statue of Liberty looks so identical to the actual statue the postal service was using a picture of the Las Vegas statue by accident for many years!

3. Check out the Volcano show at the Mirage, only a few blocks from the Bellagio.  The show starts at 7pm nightly and runs every half our until 11pm (Except for some reason there is NOT a 7:30pm show).  If you arrive early, or want to waste sometime before the next show, walk inside, you wont be disappointed.

2. Before or after your Bellagio Fountain experience, take a stroll through the Bellagio Conservatory, its totally FREE and open 24/7.  The display changes with the season so be sure to check the website to insure the Conservatory is not in a transition between displays.  While you are there, check out the amazing Fiori Di Como glass sculpture in the lobby.

1. Catch a FREE show at the Bellagio Fountains.  Show times vary but are no less than every 1/2 hour in the afternoon.  The show is free, so arrive early to get a good view.  It may be a free attraction but the show is nothing short of breath taking.

Photos really don't do it justice, trust me and make this part of your trip!

Las Vegas is full of things to do; check back for my top picks on the strip, off the strip and on Fremont Street!
