On the Las Vegas Free Stuff pages there are over 85 Free things to do in Las Vegas. These just scratch the surface of things available to help you plan a Cheap Las Vegas Vacation.
Here are a few Las Vegas Tips:
Las Vegas is casual, so bring a variety of clothing. Shorts are acceptable nearly everywhere, except the upscale restaurants. Comfortable shoes, plan on a lot of walking. Bare feet are not allowed in casinos or restaurants. All the Hotels have pools, so remember swimwear if you plan a few hours by the pool. A hat if you are sun sensitive is wise, along with good sunglasses. A jacket for those late nights is a good idea.
Book your Hotel first, , and book your stay as early as possible for the best selections, and a couple extra days if at all possible. Vegas is booked up 94% average year round! There are over 125,000 rooms in Las Vegas. So get your Hotel room early. You will be very glad you did!

Plan your time well, it is easy to get overwhelmed by all a Vegas Vacation has to offer. Get some maps, then plan your days and your nights with a broad variety of entertainment. You will be able to pack more FREE STUFF into your time in Vegas than just getting to Vegas and randomly taking in whatever you happen to find.
I know it’s a Vegas Vacation, but I can virtually guarantee you won’t have enough time!
You can sleep when you get home

When you check in at your hotel, check with the front desk for what Free Shows they offer. You will usually need to ask, (they want you to put your money in a slot machine, not do free stuff. ) Nearly all of the major hotels/casinos on The Strip, Downtown, and Off Strip have their own FREE AFTERNOON SHOWS for guests and many are very good. Many have things such as local talented musicians performing or Karaoke and dancing in their bars if that suits your tastes.
Get a players club card everywhere you go, depending on how much you gamble you may get some free meals or even cash back.
Set a gambling budget...and stick to it! It just might be your lucky day!
There are a several Free periodicals usually available at most front desks. Grab a copy of each for even more ideas of what is available such as: “What’s On” and “Las Vegas Weekly” and others. Things change very fast in Las Vegas and these will keep you up to date.
Also, FREE things should include an afternoon stroll of Window Shopping at the various Casino/Strip Malls, and some of the fabulous Malls inside the major casinos.
Take in the indoor attractions you have selected during the heat of the day.
Be sure to plan an evening stroll up and down The Strip to take in the amazing lights, sights and attractions right from the sidewalk, and enjoy our warm nights.
DO NOT JAYWALK IT IS DANGEROUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE! Metro Police watch this very diligently and they will write you a ticket. (I speak from experience! )
Don’t forget to bring your camera... And a smile
Although The Strip is only a couple miles long it is very easy to miss something you may want to see. A helpful TIP: get a couple strip/area maps, get yours here: Las Vegas Strip Map
