Yes you could come to Las Vegas and lose it all step away from the table! Because did you know Las Vegas has a huge amount of things you can do for free? Yes, you still have to pay for your hotel. But in a city known for its over the top extravagance, you can still find plenty of free things to give your bank balance some respite. Free Las Vegas shows, free outdoor activties, free live music, free museums, even free gambling⦠But remember, the house always wins.
You could easily spend a few hours just strolling along past the iconic hotels with their amazing facades, enjoying the people-watching and taking photos to post to your socials, without opening your wallet. If you want more of my picks for things to do in Las Vegas that are not all free, I keep this post of the coolest things to do in Las Vegas updated and checked most them off on my last visit! I love this kind of thing and stumbled upon a dueling piano bar in Nashville that was one of the highlights of our visit.
The pianists play just as well as they sing. Drinks and tipping are totally optional! If you enjoy stand up comedy β especially the irreverent stuff β this free show is for you. Warning: it is R-rated for its potty content!
Last time we visited Las Vegas, we spent a night at the Golden Nugget, the iconic Fremont Street hotel right in the middle of the action. Step out the doors onto the pedestrian walkway below a rooftop LED screen with miles and miles of flashing neon lights synchronized to music. People zip line above you while you look for a place to eat or a casino, or hit the souvenir shops in Las Vegas.
Or just find a spot in front of the stage and enjoy the free show. Check out the live music concerts that happen at Fremont Street every night from 6pm. You could book this night tour with a guide that takes you down to Fremont Street as well as drive along the Strip and see the fountains going off, the neon lights and have free time on Fremont. But this free water show does more than wow. They play different tracks throughout the afternoon and evening, as thousands gather along the roadside waiting for the choreographed performance with nozzles set to go.
