Las Vegas Tips for the Frugal Traveler

By Chris Linch

Why should those who do not gamblers visit Las Vegas? The freebies, of course! Almost every casino has a gimmick to get gamblers in the door but you generally do not need to gamble to take advantage of these deals. In this article, I will cover those attractions you must get to, in order to truly experience the flavor of Las Vegas.

Love to sway to the beat of your favorite song? So do the nightly fountain shows at the Bellagio casino. Roughly every fifteen minutes after nightfall (check with the casino to find out that evening's schedule) the fountains move to a choreographed routine. The music changes with every show, from popular tunes to classical melodies. It is a show not to be missed

Looking for a kid friendly activity? Ahoy land lovers! Prepare to witness a pirate's battle. Centrally located on the Strip in front of Treasure Island, male pirates and sexy sirens fight it out for your viewing pleasure. Get there early for the best views. Stand close if you dare to get wet. The casino runs four identical shows a night.

Every kid loves the circus. Reminisce about your childhood or take your kids to the Circus Circus Casino. The casino hosts world-class midway acts every half hour. See jugglers throw balls into the air and trapeze artists amuse the crowd. Shows are different each time.

Engage your senses at the Freemont Street Experience. Located downtown and away from the Strip, a long covered walkway is filled to the brim with street performers and vendors. Street performers alone may not be enough to bring you downtown, but the light and sound show is a sight not to be missed. The show is displayed on the canopy above the walkway several times nightly.

Las Vegas is a city of indulgences and you can even manage to partake in some for free. Head off the Strip to Ethel M's Chocolate Factory (One Sunset Way) and live the chocolate connoisseurs dream. During your visit you can take a self-guided tour, taste some delicious chocolates, and even buy a few tasty delights. - 29868
