Free Things to Do in Las Vegas
"The small, charming Carson Kitchen in Downtown Las Vegas was among the first restaurants to take root in the on-going efforts to transform the downtown area in a chic, trendy place to hang out. So far, those efforts have been very successful. Carson Kitchen's quiet ambiance is wonderful for lunch when you'd like to have a conversation and a glass of great wine."
"Housed in a kitschy, repurposed hotel alongside a tattoo parlor and a doughnut shop, Carson Kitchen has a vibe similar to the kind of gastropub that flourished in L.A."
"A true East-meets-West experience, Tao brings some welcome Asian style to the heart of the Strip. Located above Tao restaurant, the 10,000-square-foot nightclub features multiple rooms with a different DJ in each one. Lots of space, although the balcony overlooking the Strip is a little smaller than it should be."
"If you want to feel like an A-list celebrity head to Tao Asian Bistro for an unforgettable experience. The restaurant is located at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas. The eye-catching decor and famous 20-foot Buddha that “floats” above an infinity pool filled with Japanese koi is a sight to see in itself."
"Tao nightclub is one of the oldest nightclubs in Las Vegas that offer amazing features. Despite how old this club is, it has continued to maintain its reputation in the nightclub world. Tao is an entertainment venue where you get to meet different kinds of people including celebrities."
"Adorned with a 160 feet replica of the Eiffel tower, this restaurant offers one of the best panoramic views in Las Vegas. The foundations of the structure are linked to Paris’ original Eiffel tower and it’s built using over 250 tons of steel. The restaurant itself overlooks the Bellagio Fountains so you can watch as they explode to music every fifteen minutes while you dine."
"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants The Strip. Like the real Eiffel Tower, the Strip’s downsized homage to the Parisian landmark is home to a dining destination. Unlike its French counterpart, Chef Jean Joho’s Eiffel Tower Restaurant is an elevated experience, perched 11 stories above the Strip."
"Las Vegas is well-known for its replicas but the Eiffel Tower is the most impressive. Inside is a brilliant restaurant that has floor-to-ceiling windows. They show you the view 100 feet over the Bellagio fountains, along with a good view of the strip."
"Situated on the 11th floor of The Cromwell hotel, Drai’s Nightclub is a 2-level indoor / outdoor nightclub with unparalleled views of the Las Vegas Strip below. Their lineup features lives performances rather than just DJ acts, and some of the most recognized hip hop artists are on the calendar, like 2 Chainz, Chris Brown and Trey Songz to name just a few. Outside the party is poolside, with plush bungalows available to reserve."
"Drai’s Nightclub is one of the best rooftop bars in Vegas – you must visit if you’re in search of an ultimate rooftop party spot. Located 11 stories above the Strip, Drai’s nightclub and beach club combo sit on the top level of the Cromwell resort. Stop by for a late-night swim in one of the many available pools, to dance the night out, or to listen to some of the best musicians in town."
"Right after dinner, we got ready and headed to Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub which is located right on the strip. We were there for Fetty Wap’s (a famous American rapper/artist) concert!"
"Live entertainment and a roster of classics and modern interpretations of Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, martinis, and complementary bar snacks make the menu at this lobby bar at Mandalay Bay. Saturday nights feature dueling pianos. Do order the modern Manhattan, smoked behind the bar and served in a pipe-shaped glass."
"A post shared by Sojung Lee (@qioipee) on Feb 15, 2017 at 11:30pm PST. Opened in 1998, this restaurant is known for making creative dishes from fresh ingredients. Kona serves delicious American cuisine with a diverse spread of items for kids 12 and under."
"Located directly on Fremont Street, D Bar is serving up some of the best frozen drinks and handcrafted cocktails in downtown. You’re never far from the action, whether it be the flair bartenders, the dancing dealers, or the live music from the Fremont Street Experience. Grab a drink and take it in, because you won’t want to miss this."
"Southern HighlandsYou don’t have to go all the way to Disneyland to indulge in the Dole Whip craze, and you also don’t have to settle solely for pineapple. At Las Vegas’ Pineapple Park, flavors include the classic pineapple as well as strawberry, mango, raspberry, chocolate, vanilla, and seasonal flavors (all of which are vegan). Plus, you can top them with all kinds of candies and cookies and sauces and fruits."
"This is one of the most famous museums in the city which took over from Las Vegas Art Museum. It is located in the University of Nevada’s compound and strives to maintain both the natural history and display contemporary art. It is not very well established but still holds rotating exhibitions, inviting art pieces for the community."
"Hands down, our favorite museum is the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, on the campus of University of Nevada Las Vegas. It hosts art from local as well as national artists. The shows are always well-curated, and filled with interesting people.” –Tim Shaffer and Kate Aldrich, owners of Patina Decor"
"The Marjorie Barrick Museum offers opportunities to learn about the native cultures of the southwest United States and Mesoamerica. The exhibit hall also features a 2,500-square-foot temporary exhibit area which hosts international, national and region...[Learn more]"
