In a word, Las Vegas is often described as gambling, casino or entertainment. But don’t be fooled of the general perception that the city is now too limited to its Sin City moniker. There are lots of many meaningful things to do on your first Las Vegas travel other than get your poker chips or pretend to taste married life.

Bellagio Fountains
This dancing fountain accompanied with light and sound is one amazing sight to see. No seats required, just secure a good view in front of Bellagio (3600 Las Vegas Blvd South). It’s free and all ages admitted.

Eiffel Tower Replica
There’s a touch of Paris in Las Vegas and you can find it at Eiffel Tower Replica (3645 S. Las Vegas Blvd), which is about half the size of the original one. It is ideal for couples who want to spend a romantic night at The Strip.

Simulated Volcano Eruption at The Mirage Casino and Resort
Similar to the Bellagio Fountains, the volcano eruption presented at the Mirage Hotel (3400 S. Las Vegas Blvd) takes place between 6pm and close to midnight, every 15 minutes. The hotel offers majestic view of the unleashing of nature’s power, only on a controlled environment

Fremont Street Experience
Boasting one of the largest screens – projected in a giant canopy -- in the world, the Fremont Street Experience (425 Fremont Street) is one of the most exciting of the free things to do in Las Vegas. The attraction occupies the five westernmost blocks of Fremont. Free concerts and lively New Year’s Day fireworks are among its highlights.

Gondola Ride at the Venetian
Experience Italy’s famed gondola ride in Venice right at the heart of the Venetian Hotel (3355 S. Las Vegas Blvd). Riding the authentic Venetian gondola, you’ll be serenaded by a gondolier as you go under small bridges and pass by indoor cafes.

Decided to stay in Las Vegas and fully enjoy its nightlife? Las Vegas hotels are scattered all around the Strip and surrounding neighborhoods. They provide not only accommodation, but also in-house entertainment with guest stars, while featuring great buffet meals.
