Free Entertainment in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is known for its elaborate shows, luxury shopping, and fabulous dining options, but did you know that there are many options for free entertainment in Las Vegas? From the spectacular Bellagio fountain to touring the Ethel M Chocolate candy factory, just outside of town, Las Vegas will keep you amused without unloading your wallet. Among the many options are:

The Fountains at the Bellagio Hotel

One of the most popular sites for free entertainment in Las Vegas are the fountains in front of the Bellagio Hotel at the south end of the Strip. Each afternoon and evening (from 3pm Sunday through Friday and from noon on Saturday and Sunday), the Bellagio Fountains erupt in a choreographed show coordinated with music and lights. The show repeats every half hour until midnight, weather-permitting.

Another popular free attraction in Las Vegas is the Volcano that sits in front of the Mirage Las Vegas. A peaceful waterfall during the day, every hour from dusk until midnight, the volcano erupts, sending flames over 100 feet into the air.

Free Entertainment in Las Vegas is not limited to the Las Vegas Strip. Downtown Las Vegas has its attractions, too. The most spectacular of these is the Fremont Street Experience. Here, a $70 million laser light canopy covers the pedestrian zone on Fremont Street. Every evening, on the hour, from dusk until midnight, the canopy comes alive with synchronized lights and music – all overhead.

Every day, the MGM lions make the trek from their 8.5 acre ranch outside of Las Vegas to the MGM Resort and Casino's Lion Habitat Exhibit. Thirty-one lions and lionesses take turns showing off for the crowd. Separated by 1 ½ inches of glass, visitors can watch the felines play, sleep, groom themselves, and eat. The Lion Habitat Exhibit is open every day from 11am to 10pm.

Part stage production, part music-video, and all entertainment, the Sirens of Ti is a choreographed dance, theater, and music production, shown four times a night in front of the Treasure Island Resort and Casino. The feature tells the story of a pirate ship lured towards its doom by the sexy (and singing) sirens of the deep.
