Best Free Things to Do in Las Vegas (2025 Edition)

Last Updated: March 2025

1. Watch the Bellagio Fountains

The iconic fountains in front of the Bellagio Hotel offer a mesmerizing water show every 30 minutes in the afternoons and every 15 minutes in the evenings. It's completely free and synchronized to music and lights. Pro tip: Go at night for the full effect.

2. Explore the Fremont Street Experience

Head to Downtown Las Vegas and walk beneath a giant LED canopy featuring dazzling light shows every hour. You’ll also find free live music, street performers, and a retro vibe that feels completely different from the Strip.

3. Visit the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign

Snap a photo at the famous “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign located at the south end of the Strip. It’s open 24/7 and has its own pedestrian-friendly area for safe photos.

4. Enjoy the Flamingo Wildlife Habitat

The Flamingo Hotel houses a peaceful garden habitat with flamingos, koi fish, turtles, and waterfalls. It’s a relaxing escape in the middle of the action — and totally free.

5. Walk the Strip at Night

Sometimes the best way to experience Vegas is simply to take it all in. Walk the Strip after dark to see the neon lights, massive hotel facades, street shows, and wild characters — all without spending a cent.

6. Art & Installations at The Cosmopolitan

The Cosmopolitan Hotel features rotating art displays, interactive installations, and digital wall art that make for fun Instagram moments — all free and open to the public in the lobby and common areas.
