The life sized tree house sounds like it would be a blast.
Thanks for sharing the free things to do there. I have Vegas on my bucket list and hope to go one day and not spend or lose a fortune!
I hope you make it there too!
I keep saying that we are going back again soon, but soon just keeps getting put off. I want to go and spend 2 weeks just doing and having fun.
this is great! free things to do are always great =) thanks for sharing!
I know my husband liked the Sirens of TI show which is free in front of the Treasure Island property.
Ok, so which ones did you do?
1, 2, 4, 10, 11, 13, 19, 24 & 25 so quite a bit of them
I just love Vegas! I have always said it was much more kid friendly than people give it credit for even though I’ve yet to take my own kids there.
mostly the first thing i do in vegas stops me from doing anything else
wow I didn’t realize many of these things – I’d love to see Botanical gardens and wildlife sanctuary!
Nice, now I know I can go to Vegas without breaking the bank!
I enjoy hanging out at the Bellagio. So many pretty things there. I stayed at Paris and my room overlooked the fountains. I sat for what seemed like forever watching. Then I went across the street and sat on a bench watching it all over again. The ceiling is just too cool too.
Vegas is a whole lotta fun!
What an awesome list! I’ve bookmarked for our next trip to Las Vegas.
Wow! I didn’t know about several of these things. Thanks for sharing the great list!
Thanks so much for this post. It seems like every time I go to Vegas, I just end up spending a bunch of money and coming home wondering where it went! Great list of things to do here!
I love that you showed me how much stuff there is to do other than gamble. I try to avoid gambling at all costs, so I’m glad I can visit Vegas and still enjoy my trip.
