Ballin' on a Budget - Free Las Vegas Attractions!

So, you are down on your luck, broke and stuck in Vegas for 1 more day before your vacation is over. Bummer. What are some great things to do for free in Las Vegas? The obvious answer is just walking up and down the strip checking out the different casinos, people watching or sitting by the pool to catch a burn. However, I suspect these are not the answers you were hoping for! Here are some of my favorite free things to do in Sin City:

Daytime FREE Las Vegas things to check out:

1. Dancing Fountains at The Bellagio - Day and/or Night, by far my Favorite thing to see!
2. Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand - Lions!
3. Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo - Flamingos, Ducks, Koi, Turtles, and other wildlife are nestled in the back.
4. Circus Acts at the Circus Circus - Not quite my thing, but worth checking out.
5. Craps Lessons at any Vegas Casino - Everyone loves playing craps, but few truly know how to really play the game. Take a free lesson on the house!
6. Watch Sporting Events at the Sports Book - Catch a game or two at your Casino sports book's Big Screen TV's! Planet Hollywood has a Sweet Sports Book!
