We know the holidays are busy and with all the gift shopping, sometimes there is little money available to explore SW Las Vegas and surrounding areas. That is why we have come up with our top 10 things to do in the area that are free or very cheap. We hope you enjoy these activities as much as we are looking forward to experiencing them ourselves.
Drive the Las Vegas Strip
Plan a day to go see the lights of the Las Vegas Strip and while there, stop by the Bellagio’s Botanical Garden for some family photos and stay for the fountain show. This is a great way to spend an afternoon with the family and see all the holiday displays along The Strip.
Meet a Mermaid at the Silverton Casino and Hotel
The Silverton Casino and Hotel is home to an aquarium which is home to fabulous mermaids. Stop by, see the fish in the aquarium and stay for the next mermaid show.
Take a Road Trip to Mt. Charleston
Pack up some snacks in the car and warm jackets this month because you need to head up to Mt. Charleston and see the snow. Just remember to be careful when driving and follow all winter road precautions.
Grab some holiday cupcakes at the Mad Hatter
Though not free (averaging $3.50 per cupcake), this is definitely worth it if you are looking just to grab one per person in the family. The cupcakes at this location are filled, frosted and decorated right in front of your eyes. Kids will have a blast designing their own holiday-themed treat.
