Returning to Vegas and it always seems we take to much money and then spend it all. I've seen all the sights now what are some cheap things to do instead of gamble all day and night? Hopefully someone will have some new ideas that we have not thought of.

I've been to Vegas several times, and found myself spending too much each time also.
Now, I set a daily budget- I literally take only a set amount with me each day (leave the rest in the safe in the room or front desk, with your debit and credit cards). Of the set amount, a certain amount is reserved for food/drinks. Rest is gambling/shopping/whatever. This works well, and I don't buy half the crap I used to that I never needed or used.
To make the day cheaper- hit Walgreens (behind MGM) for water, its way cheaper than the casinos. I always buy a 1 liter right off, and carry it all day, when I pass by the store again, I grab another (JVC pharmacy on opposite side of strip, same deal there) Buy your snacks for room there too each night. Saves lots.
If you have time, sign up for a timeshare presentation- it takes 90 minutes, you get free tours, shows, dinners, etc. DONT buy the timeshare, just use them for freebies!

There are tours from Las Vegas to visit places like the Grand Canyon, Laughlin, Oatman, Kingman, etc. Those places are great, different, and kind of cheap. You'll be most of the day touring and at night you can just relax in Vegas.
Some hotels have free shows which change after a while. You might see new free shows. Have you been "downtown" Las Vegas?
If you have been there before and have seen all the sights why don't you chose a different destination?

There are 3 talents risks from nuclear energy: meltdown, terrorist raids, and waster disposal. Meltdown, like at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and threatened by means of the entire historic crops, is an engineering drawback. And so much folks who comply with this are satisfied that the engineers have arise with a few very totally safe approaches to make meltdown enormously not likely. Terrorist raids are a drawback. But newly designed crops might be developed to be defensible by contrast hazard. So, fo 2 out of the 3 threats, they're very solvable. The waste drawback i nonetheless a drawback. In the USA there's really a tremendous quantity of waste no longer in everlasting garage. But that is nearly a political drawback. There are proposed answers, however the answers were regularly adverse customarily on NIMBY (no longer in my again backyard) grounds. No one desires it. So, I could agree that till the everlasting garage facilitiy is authorized, developed and open, that not more crops will have to be constructed. We do nonetheless have got to discover a few new, non depleting assets of electrical energy. People item to wind and sun, as good as to nuclear. Nuclear no less than has the skills that it really works, it's particularly inexpensive (if the waste drawback is dealt inside enhance) and does no longer require significant totally obvious apparatus. As electic energy iteration turns into extra of an limitation, there will likely be plenty of strain to clear up the quite a lot of public opinion disorders and get extra vigor flowing into the process.

Go to vegas.com ...there are lots of things to do...a lot for free or very cheap.
When I go, I only gamble to kill some time. I really enjoy seeing the shows, Ethel M chocolate factory is fun. And there are a number of museums to see.
Go to Freemont street for the light show and entertainment on the "street" It is well worth the trip and downtown is a lot more laid back than the strip.
The Star Trek experience at the LV Hilton is fun and stop in Quarks Bar and Grill for a snack.
Have fun
