What self respecting Vegas visitor would ever pay full price if they didn’t have to or leave this great city of chance without getting something for nothing. One of the best services I can provide to you is the ability to share these fabulous free finds with anyone that is interested in what I have to offer.

This is better than a ‘tell all’ book on who did it and why isn’t it? The Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens offers a delight to the eyes of the beholder. It is a true delight to all the senses to see the sights and inhale the fragrance of these gardens that display seasonal highlights in plants, flowers, and produce. Each season offers new delights to the senses and there is no admission fee to view these beautiful floral arrangements. This is a great place for a photo op to help you remember your time in Las Vegas.

Have you ever seen water dance? If not, then while you’re visiting the Botanical Gardens at the Bellagio, you’ll want to stick around long enough to witness the fountains of Bellagio. These shows consist of more than 1000 fountains that are literally dancing in choreographed unison with light to the music (you may be surprised or quite possibly impressed by the extent and variety of the music play list for this particular show). This is also free to witness and occurs every half hour or so after 3:00 PM throughout the week and after noon on the weekends.

If you’re looking for more great fun that is free for the entire family to enjoy, head on over to Circus Circus for Circus Acts-this show is free to watch and provides the audience with the thrills and chills of the big top day after day. You can watch different acts as they perform throughout the day at the half hour mark between the hours of 11 AM and Midnight.

Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall offers a stunning display of water and laser lights daily at 2:00, 6:00, 8:00, and 10:00. This show is called “Sunset Stampede” and takes place in a 9-story atrium that hosts a natural habitat of live trees, greenery, waterfalls, and trails.

Another great free attraction in Vegas is the Masquerade Show in the Sky. The show is free to watch, if you choose to participate by riding one of the floats, the cost is $12.95 (that is subject to change). This experience is very reminiscent of Carnivale in Brazil. The floats are literally suspended from the ceiling for the sake of this show which is considered one of the best free shows that Vegas has to offer.

Perhaps one of the most interesting freebies is the Silverton Hotel and Casino’s Aquarium. This attraction is completely free to the public and a fascinating thrill to children big and small (even mom’s find this one fascinating). Enjoy watching both salt water and freshwater fish in their natural habitats and enjoy the ambiance of your surroundings.

The Sirens of Ti is a great sexy pirates tale that shows at Treasure Island TI daily as the weather allows. This is one great show that the kids, especially little boys that think pirates are the bomb and big boys that enjoy watching ships sink and sirens do what sirens do, will all agree to enjoy together.

Free entertainment is often the best entertainment that can be found. There are so many things to do and see that cost literal fortunes. It is nice to know that there are so many thrilling adventures available for little or no cost to explore while visiting Las Vegas. If you spend wisely, you will discover that you can enjoy the better part of most days filled with activity without breaking your wallet or becoming close personal friends with any creditors(lol).

Trump sets up shop in Vegas with posh, smoke-free hotel

Just off the Strip: The smoke-free Trump International Hotel & Tower doesn’t have a casino, but it certainly doesn’t scrimp on service.

What’s new: Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas
Claim to fame: The Apprentice mogul Donald Trump makes his first move into Sin City. But unlike his Atlantic City properties, there’s no casino here. And it’s smoke-free.

Vital statistics: A 64-floor glass tower with 1,282 condo suites; about 300 currently are rented out as hotel accommodations.

The scene: Serene. Set by itself off the Strip near Wynn Las Vegas and the Fashion Show shopping mall, the 2-month-old Trump (quiet as a tomb during this reporter’s visit) is the antithesis of your typical, line-up-to-check-in Vegas casino hotel. Affable and attentive staffers in hip suits and dresses designed by Trump’s daughter Ivanka usually outnumbered guests and condo residents in the marble lobby with chandeliers, crystal-beaded pillars and living-room-style cocktail lounge.

Bedding down: Trump’s Atlantic City digs aren’t known for understated tastefulness, but suites here are aces in that department. Kudos to Trump kids Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric, who oversee his new hotels. The look is modern, chic and upscale residential. Suites are decorated in subdued chocolate, butterscotch and cream tones. Blond wood cabinets have books and objets d’art on shelves. Even the smallest studio has a fully equipped kitchen, cooktop and Sub-Zero fridge, plus marble bathroom with jetted soaking tub and separate glassed-in shower spacious enough for four. The only tacky touch: a welcome gift of “Trump Ice” spring water, whose bottle bears the likeness of The Donald. Tip: If train whistles bother you, ask for a room on the street side of the tower.

Who’ll like it: Those with a taste for luxury, tranquility and peel-me-a-grape service. Staffers are notably caring, personable and proud to have Trump on their résumés.

Who won’t: Serious gamblers, smokers and the party crowd.

Wining & dining: Food and drink are priced for high rollers ($11 for “Mr. Trump’s whipped potato purée”), but of fine quality. Be prepared to drop $15 on a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and $26 on a scrumptious lobster Cobb salad. Dinner entrees at the DJT restaurant, offering “modern American” cuisine created by Trump Sr.’s personal chef, run $34-$68.

Indulgences: An “attaché” button on the phone to call Trump’s spin on butler service; TV images that magically appear on the bathroom mirror at the touch of the remote; a spa and outdoor pool with servers who offer Trump sunscreen; a giant martini shaker in every room.

The deal: You can score a $199 midweek rate through Sept. 1 for a top Vegas lodging choice that would probably cost three times as much in Manhattan.
