where to go in Las Vegas -- intersesting?

Answer 1

Things you will want to SEE for FREE in Vegas:

1. The volcano erupt in from of the Mirage Hotel

2. The show (spectacular) in from of the Treasure Island Hotel

3. Number one on my list is to watch the fountain displays in from of the Bellagio hotel, usually runs every 15 minutes on summer nights; runs continuously until about midnight. Each show is different so stay and watch at least 2 or 3

4. Go down to Freemont street and see the light show. There are usually 2 or 3 different shows, starting after dark and lasting about 5 or 10 minutes each.

5. Go to the MGM Grand hotel to see the Lion habitat.

6. Go to the Mirage hotel to see the white tigers that Sigfred and Roy used.

7. Go to the RIO hotel to see the Mascarade in the Sky show. It runs every 90 minutes starting about 3:00 PM.

8. Go in Ceasars' Palace and walk through the forum shops to the first fountain (its spectacular) the take the first fork to the left to go see the aquarium.

9. Go into the Flamingo hotel to see their animal habitat with flamingos and penguins.

10 The Excalibut hotel also has a free light show at night outside.


If you want to do non hotel/casino stuff, try this:

Go to Red Rock Canyon. Its about 20 miles West of Las Vegas out Charleston Blvd (you can pick up that street at the north end of the Strip) Its a scenic drive-through park. Go early, not in the heat of the day; there's no shade.

Drive about 20 miles north of Vegas to Valley of Fire State Park.

Drive about 30 miles southeast of Vegas and go to Hoover Dam; the National Park Service offers tours (@ $15.) there and its interesting stuff. Go on past Hoover dam to Boulder City and then to Lake Meade for a swin. Also, there are tour companies that will take you on a cruise of the river below the Dam. Check the web sites below.

Its a long drive (about 2-3 hours each way), but you can drive up I-15 to Zion National Park and back in one day.

The drive to the Grand Canyon is 5 hard hours on mostly 2 lane road with trucks and campers (a short way on I-40). You can drive there and back in one day if you leave early morning, like 6:00-7:00 Am. That will put you there about noon and you will have 4 or 5 hrs before starting back and egtting back to Vegas about 11:00PM. I recommend staying overnight at the Canyon (there are plenty of motels near there, like Best Western, Ramada, Quality inns) and drive back the next day.

Drive about an hour and a half south of Vegas on I-15 and take RT-127 to Death Valley National Park (total drive may be 3 hrs each way).

Drive south on I-15 to Primm, Nv (at the Calif border ... about 45 miles) and there is a big outlet mall and some casinos.


The Rio, Palms, MGM, Ceasers, Mandalay Bay and a few others have night clubs you can try; lines to get in are long.
