1. Enjoy the Fountain Show
Visiting Las Vegas without watching the Bellagio Fountains is like going to Disneyland without seeing Mickey Mouse. Shows happen every half hour during the afternoons and every 15 minutes at night. Get mesmerize as the water shoots up to hundreds of feet up in the air as the music of Celine Dion fills the air. So, this is one of the truly classy and romantic yet free things to do Las Vegas.
2. Taste Free Wine
There are several locations in Las Vegas that offer free wine tastings. Rock ‘N Roll Wine offers free tastings every Thursday night in rotating places like at the VICE VERSA and the Artisan Lounge. The usual blends include white and red wines, but sometimes surprise blends are provided. Just sign up for an event in advance. So, if you are a wine lover, this activity has to be in your never-miss free things to do in Las Vegas.
3. Watch an Erupting Volcano
There is no need to get out of the city to watch an erupting volcano. The Mirage has one, right in front of their resort. The volcano is a true masterpiece and it never fails attracting people. While an Indian-inspired music floats in the air, the fake volcano erupts, makes loud explosive sounds, shoots fire, spews lava and makes tourist thing that something has really blown up. So, you can’t exclude this one from a list of free things to do in Las Vegas.
