Whenever people think of Vegas, the first thing that comes to their minds is gambling and casinos. While it may be some of the obvious reasons this city is famous for, the fact is, Las Vegas is far more than gambling and offers world-class entertainment to individuals during their USA holidays. Being here, you can’t get enough of the amazing food, nature, and fun experiences.]
Whether you are among those few people who don’t like gambling or want to discover something different, here are our top suggestions regarding what to do when in Vegas without wasting your money.
Watch a World-Class Show
Las Vegas is famous as “The Entertainment Capital of the World” for quite obvious reasons. The city provides unbeatable live performances that are a treat to your eyes. Whether you want to see breathtaking Cirque du Soleil performances with mind-blowing acrobatics, magic shows, laugh-out-loud comedy shows, exciting concerts, or flashy concerts, you can have it all here.
The magic show by David Copperfield at MGM Grand is another favourite thing to watch here that simply leaves you in awe. In case you want something more daring and funnier, then you should check out the Absinthe, which is a circus, comedy, and cabaret show held at the Caesars Palace and is both crazy and unforgettable. The good thing is, you do not even need to gamble to have a good time. You just need to purchase a ticket, occupy a seat, and have fun.
Explore the Las Vegas Strip
Visiting the Vegas Strip is an enjoyable and exciting experience even when you do not feel like gambling. Here, you can visit themed hotels such as The Venetian, where you can take a ride in a gondola as you do in Venice. The Bellagio Fountain Show is one of the most popular attractions to visit in Las Vegas. The water fountain erupts and dances to music and lights every 15 to 30 minutes every evening in front of the hotel.
Go on a Food Adventure
A paradise of food lovers awaits in Vegas. Whether you want to eat a $1 taco or at a Michelin-star restaurant, there is something for everyone. For fancy food, head to Gordon Ramsay Hell Kitchen or Joel Robuchon. Want to eat something late at night? The Eataly food hall or Secret Pizza are great choices. Not to forget, don’t miss out on the famous Las Vegas buffets, where you can get an opportunity to taste flavours of different regions.
Take a Day Trip to Red Rock Canyon
Bored with the city? Red Rock Canyon is a beautiful desert landscape to explore during your Las Vegas holidays with hiking routes, scenic roads, and serenity to offer. It is located only 30 minutes away from Vegas, and you can even hire a car or opt for a guided tour. Nature lovers or anyone who wants to view the other side of Nevada can see the red cliffs, the rocky trails, and perfect desert views. This place is particularly beautiful at sunset or sunrise.
Check Out Fremont Street (Old Vegas)
Feel like seeing the old side of Vegas? Go to downtown Fremont Street, where there is a little more relaxed vibe and a bit crazier one. It is surrounded by a huge LED screen that illuminates the sky with music and animation each night. Here you may find street entertainment, zip line, live music, and hip bars, all in a single place. Overall, it is a kind of mini-Strip, with its own charisma.
Ride the High Roller
If you want to catch the perfect views of Vegas’s skyline, take a ride on the High Roller, a Ferris wheel that is huge and situated at The LINQ Promenade. It is among the highest observation wheels in the world. The journey lasts approximately 30 minutes, and you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city, which looks really magical at night. To make it even more fun, you can reserve a cabin with an open bar!
Visit the Neon Museum
Las Vegas is famous for being full of bright signs, and at the Neon Museum, you can find the place where all of them gather. This outdoor museum displays old neon signs of popular casinos and enterprises, and every sign has its story. It is open during the day, but the night tours are even more special as the signs are illuminated. It also offers the visitors an opportunity to know the history of the city and take some really nice pictures.
Shop ‘til You Drop
Las Vegas is also a great shopping place and has everything to offer, whether you are after the top-notch designer brands, affordable bargains, or souvenirs to bring home. The most popular shopping spots here are The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace with a Roman theme and a number of luxury shops, and The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, where you can browse and shop along the indoor canals resembling Venice. Las Vegas North Premium Outlets are also popular when it comes to big discounts. Although you may not intend to spend a lot of money here, it is worth visiting these shopping locations since they are well-designed and have a whole lot of entertaining things to do.
