It still amazes me at the number of people who think Vegas is all about gambling and nothing else. So I thought I would put a list of activities that you can do that does not include gambling. In fact, most of these are completely free.

1. Sit and enjoy a Sports book. To me this is a lot like enjoying a beer at the local pub. Just a lot more TV’s
2. Eat, honestly there are more restaurants here than you could possibly visit.
3. Slots tournament, believe it or not most of them are free.
4. Imax, the Imax theatres in Vegas have some of the more unique shows.
5. Spend some time on the strip and just soak in the environment.
6. Fremont Street experience, starting every night at about 6pm(sometimes 7) the light show starts. If you haven’t seen it yet make sure you do.
7. See a Show, there is no place else in the world where you can see so many top quality performers.
8. Do a Dinner Show; there are a lot of great dinner shows like the “Tournament of Kings” at the Excalibur.
9. Bellagio Fountain, pretty much every half hour the free water show is going off. On the weekends sometimes it’s every 15 minutes.
10. Gallery of fine art in Bellagio.
11. Eiffel Tower in The Paris, ride an elevator to the top of the tower.
12. Watch the Volcano at the Mirage, every hour on the hour after sunset.
