Las Vegas Freebies

There are many great things to do in Las Vegas that are free!

The Las Vegas hotels and casinos want your business and they provide many free incentives to get your business. The Vegas casinos often offer free drinks when you are playing the slots or you are at their gambling tables. Free drinks are just small benefits that are available to you.

Many of the larger casinos offer elaborate Las Vegas shows that are free for the entire family. These free Vegas shows attract both tourists and locals that are looking for entertainment that does not cost too much. Of course, the casino wants you to come to their casino, see a show and spend your cash in their casino before you leave.

One of the great Las Vegas shows that are available free to families is the Fall of Atlantis Show at Caesar's Palace. The Atlantis show is a laser, water, and light show that features great animatronics action. You will notice that the show's platform is actually a salt-water aquarium.

You can watch divers feed the fish each day at 1:15 and 5:15 while another staff member is on hand to answer any questions you may have and explain a little about the facility. You can actually take a tour of the facility at 3:15 each day. Enjoy watching the gods as they entertain you rather than us entertaining them.

The Cambridge Community Center offers a free movie and popcorn each Saturday at 1:00. A different movie is shown each week and an adult must accompany children under 12. You can check out which movie will be playing by checking out the posting on Friday.

Another great Las Vegas freebie is daily performances of the Hawaiian Marketplace Island Performers. These performances take place throughout the day from 11:00 am until 10:30 pm and feature wonderful dances that will remind you of the Hawaiian Islands. Watch the hula dancers, fire and knife dancers, musicians, and lei makers. The performances are free and take place at the Hawaiian Marketplace.

If you are an Elvis fan, you can see Pete Vallee perform as Big Elvis from Monday to Thursday with shows that take place at 3:00 and 5:00 pm at the Barbary Coast Casino. The admission for this show is free and he brings in quite a crowd with his vocal talent and heartfelt renditions of Elvis' ballads.

M & M World should need no introduction. It is a wonderful and fun place to visit. You will be amazed at all the different M&M's they have in the store. There is every M&M souvenir you can imagine. Of course, it is a free place to visit and as you can imagine, the kids will love the store. This museum is open Sunday through Thursday from 9 am until 11 pm and Friday and Saturday from 9 am until midnight. This really is a neat attraction to visit and is much more than initially meets the eye. Take a stroll, look around and make sure you see all there is to see or you just might miss something fantastic.

For another sweet freebie, you really must make plans to visit Ethel M's Chocolate Factory. The admission for this self-guided tour is free as is the first sample, but who can eat just one chocolate? Be sure not to leave this tour empty handed, as you will be kicking yourself once you get back to the room and have a craving for something sinfully sweet.

In addition to the chocolate factory is the Botanical Cactus Garden that is open from 8:30 until 7:00 daily. Another great thing to see on this particular tour is the Living Machine, which as waste-consuming ecologies that turns 32,000 gallons wastewater each day into water that is clean enough to use for irrigation purposes.

No matter what your specific interests are, there are plenty of wonderful things to see and do in Las Vegas. Have a great time in Las Vegas and remember to look for the free Las Vegas shows, Vegas buffets, and souvenirs!
