Save Money And Travel To Vegas

By Chris Linch

Are you a frugal travel? Then Las Vegas is the place for you to spend your vacation. There are numerous free or cheap things to do that will help you stretch your precious dollars. Even if you don't gamble, Las Vegas has something for every traveler, young and old. This article covers the must-dos for the person who likes to travel on the cheap.

Want to take advantage of the beautiful Las Vegas nights? Catch the Bellagio fountain shows right in the middle of the Strip. The shows operate nightly, usually every 15 minutes (be sure to check with the casino for that evening's schedule). The fountains sway to a variety of music, from classical serenades to popular hits. Each show feels like a different experience.

Did your kids like Pirates of the Caribbean? Witness a live pirate battle between sexy wenches and swarthy male pirates right on the Strip. There are four nightly shows right in front of Treasure Island. The shows are kid friendly and sure to please. Early birds get the best view, but beware. If you stand too close, you may get splashed.

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.

Located in the heart of downtown, the Freemont Street Experience is an off-strip attraction not to be missed. Vendors and street performers line the pedestrian walkway, always ready to entertain. But the entertainment does not stop there. Several times a night be sure to look up for a spectacular light and sound show on the canopy that covers the walkway.

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.
