In addition to gambling, there are many recreational attractions in and close to Vegas. Many of these attractions are free - The Fountain Show at the Bellagio runs every 30 minutes, The Fremont Street pedestrian mall has a giant "screen" several blocks long with a light and sound. Shows start at dusk and are repeated until 11 pm.
For just a few dollars you can ride on some of the most exciting roller coasters in the world. If you like something a little more sedate then try one of the many shows Vegas has on offer. You can find ideas and links to 100s of Vegas Attractions below.
Thrill seekers of all ages can experience the ultimate in excitement at Stratosphere Las Vegas! At over 100 stories above the ground, the Stratosphere boasts the world's three highest thrill rides; the Big Shot, X Scream and Insanity the Ride.
The fountains at the Bellagio may sound cheesy (so I thought) but, they are absolutely mesmerizing. In fact, we stood there for probably over an hour, just to watch the show over and over again. If you've never heard of the fountains, 1200 moving spouts of water are choreographed to music. The shows are every 15 minutes until about midnight, and last maybe 2-3 minutes depending on what song they are using.
