5 Free Things to Do in Las Vegas

Here's how you can still have a good time in Vegas without breaking the bank

1. Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is a beautiful place and interesting outdoor activity for families, couples, and individuals. The conservatory is a must-visit, but the fountains at the Bellagio steal the show. The performance by dancing fountain waters is one of a kind, and it is best to show up early before they start to secure a convenient spot from where to enjoy the show.

2. Ethel M Chocolate Factory

Not only is this experience free, but it is a unique and rare activity that is not easy to come by. The Ethel M Chocolate factory allows self-guided tours for free, but you have to pay some additional charges if you would like to participate in the chocolate tasting. Regardless, you get to see first-hand how some of the tasty confectioneries are made; there are select free samples to enjoy. Lastly, you can enjoy a walk in their extensive cactus botanical garden for free.

3. Flamingo Wildlife Habitat

Away from the city's hustle and bustle is an unexpected hidden gem that is home to elegant flamingos. The Flamingo wildlife habitat is home to these gracious birds and ducks, swans, koi, turtles, and a few pelicans. There is ample space to sit and take walks as you enjoy the scenery, from well-manicured gardens to small waterfalls and palms, all for free. It is also a very family-friendly venue.

4. Fremont Street Experience

Fremont Street Experience is famous for the overhead light displays that form a spectacular show and live music from time to time. You never know what to expect as the street is usually a beehive of activity with performances from different artists and performers all through the street showcasing their art. After darkness sets in, the canopy above bursts into music and amazing displays every hour for a spectacular view as you walk down the street. You can also shop some souvenirs along this street affordably.
