Top Free Attractions in Las Vegas: A Visitor’s Guide, Las Vegas, Nevada
We had last visited Las Vegas in the summer of 2023 as part of our journey along Route 66 - https://amidlifeadventure.org/2023/07/18/las-vegas-for-better-or-worse/ and made the decision when we left that we would one day come back.
Well that day arrived a couple of months ago when I was faced with an opportunity to see Carrie Underwood in residence in Vegas. I have loved her songs ever since she walked away as the winner of American Idol Series 4. She has since become a major recording artist in the USA selling over 85 million records worldwide and becoming the most awarded country artist of all time.
Having already visited the city previously I upped my research for this trip in the hope of finding things to do particularly during the day for free. Not because we were being frugal but we wanted to focus our expenditure into the evening. In addition to tickets to see Carrie’s concert at Resort World we also bought tickets to see a third Vegas Cirque du Soleil performance and wanted to revisit The Wynn buffet amongst other items on our agenda.
Las Vegas is full of beautiful architecture and whilst some may frown at the duplication of worldwide sites onto the Las Vegas Strip it is a great walk from the southern end of the strip at the Luxor Casino to Caesars Palace. It’s about 2 miles but there are so many architectural spectacles to admire. Depending upon what time of the year you travel you might need to take a break en route and escape from the desert heat. I will be giving you some suggestions of what to visit for free inside some of the casinos on my next post. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
