Five Free Things To Do in Las Vegas

Five Free Things To Do in Las Vegas: "SpaceQuest Casino - Las Vegas Hilton

A space-themed casino, SpaceQuest features futuristic-looking slot machines, gadgets that speak to you, and laser-light shows that make you feel like you truly are in outer space. The casino sets the stage for Star Trek: The Experience Museum next door (a paid attraction). Even if you pass on the Trekkie event, you can still stroll among sci-fi memorabilia or visit the (expensive) gift shops. At the Quarks Bar & Grill, decorated to simulate a space station, 'creatures' from different galaxies play servers.

Adventure Dome - Circus Circus Casino

A giant glass dome houses a massive indoor amusement park. Admission to the premises is free, although you have the option to pay for the rides, which include the Canyon Blaster (a roller coaster), the Sling Shot (a tower ride), and the Lazer Blast (a laser tag quest). It's fun just to walk around among the characters and there's an ongoing free clown show on the main stage. Great if you have kids.

The Imperial Palace Car Collection

Home to one of the largest classic automobile collections in the world, including Marilyn Monroe's 1955 Lincoln Capri Convertible, Mussolini's 1939 Alfa Romeo Tipo 6C, and the '$2-million-dollar car.' Print a coupon from their website for free admission to the exhibit; otherwise, tickets are $6.95. First-rate entertainment for the whole family.

Buccaneer Bay ? Treasure Island Hotel and Casino

See the pirate ship Hispaniola and a British Frigate fight to the death every evening in front of the casino. Cannons, musket fire, and crashing waves make for a thunderous spectacle. The show ends with the Frigate sinking and the pirates walking away triumphant with the loot."
