Las Vegas Helicopter Tours Discounts

By Regina Patton


I don't gamble so I often get asked why I visit Las Vegas at least once a year. The answer? The free attractions make Las Vegas a frugal traveler's paradise (and we'll save the dining discussion for another article). Almost every casino has some sort of freebie gimmick to attract gamblers. In this article, I will cover, what I consider to be the must-see's to give tourists a flavor of Las Vegas.

The Fountain Show At Bellagio

BELLAGIO HOTEL - The FOUNTAINS AT THE BELLAGIO must be experienced to be believed with its complex water choreography that dances to classical and popular music and gorgeous when viewed with the Las Vegas horizon and the golden hotel as a backdrop. The whole family will appreciate this as a grand example of beautiful precision, engineering and technology serving art. This is the time the kids will keep to their seats song after song and water dance after water dance.

Circus Circus Shows

The GRAND CANYON - When the family wants to flex some muscles and stretch their legs a bit, they might want to venture farther away from the hotel to experience the grandest spectacle of all: The Grand Canyon. Massive, magnificent, great; words are not enough to describe its beauty and watching the sunrise and sunset there at least once in one's lifetime is definitely well worth the effort. Check out the Visitor's Center for ranger-guided activities, camp fires, fossil walks and full moon walks that the more adventurous nature-lovers can choose from. MANDALAY BAY Hotel - SHARK REEF AQUARIUM with the "Dive with Sharks" Program for the kids, offer a magnificent display of all sorts of sharks alongside with giant sting rays, green sea turtles, saw fishes, piranhas, jelly fishes and even a rare golden crocodile set in a 22-foot deep shipwreck exhibit. Admission for kids 5-12 years of age is USD 12. Below this age is free.

Animals in the zoo range from harmless to extremely dangerous. Guests of the zoo will have to watch out that they don't step on one of the free-roaming peacocks around. Although they're on the not dangerous list, they still have carte blanche in the zoo and get to walk where they want.

Note: There is an Ethel M's at the airport if you are concerned about chocolate melting (check hours of operation as every time I go, its closed).

There are many, many other free attractions in Las Vegas. Attractions that are changed often to ensure the city remains fresh, exciting and a frugal traveler's paradise.
