Not everything you do in Las Vegas requires money.  There are many things to do that are free.  Here are our top 5.

5. Treasure Island - Every two hours in the evening, when the weather permits, a pirate battle takes place right at the entrance to the casino. With cannon shooting from two ships and pirates falling into the lake, you are sure to be entertained.

4. Venetian-  Although it costs money to ride around in the gondolas, walking around the beautiful faux canals of Venice is free.  You can’t help be captivated by the scenery and the window shopping is incredible here.

3.MGM Grand-  At the MGM Grand is the Lion Habitat, a huge enclosed plexiglass habitat for lions and tigers. You can get upclose and if you go in the cave in most cases be right under them.  This is great for picture taking and especially fun for the kids.

2.Bellagio - Bellagio actually takes the first and second place.  In second place definitely has to be the garden room.  I know this changes, but spring at The Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is all about the butterfly.  This is truly one of my favorite things to see and words cannot describe how magical it is until you are there.

1. Bellagio - Of course the number one free thing to do in Vegas is the spectacular water show in front of The Bellagio. Going off every 30 minutes is a well choreographed complex water show. The music is ever changing, so you will probably never see the same show twice on different trips to Vegas.  A definite must!
