Las Vegas - free shows

Las Vegas is the city of entertainments. Quite hotels present attractive shows, some of which are so expensive. Dispite of the high price, some shows are already sold out. Actually, those shows are like pies in the sky to us.

For this reason, free shows/exhibits are high-lights in Las Vegas. To watch all of shows, it needs to set up the time table before getting out of hotels. As we know, all hotels are concentrated in the Strip Street within 3-4 miles, so no need ot worry about getting lost. Technically, this seems no progmatic. However, it becomes different story when you plan to walk with children. 3-4 miles are a bit too much for chilren to stroll a night. Furthermore, we are ganna get to walk more to see inside of hotels in addition to outside. Apparently, it will be a quite walking. In fact, we get exhausted even after seeing just one hotel which it takes 1-2 hours, so prepare for your walking tour well.

Basically, all parking lots attached to the hotels are free. At this point, you could think about the car for getting rid of these unconvenience. Sorry. It could be a not good idea to go sightseeing by a car with all parking lots too far away from the main street. It takes more time if you plan to move from one show to the other shows with a car. To save the time, let's park a car at one hotel and then walk along the street, seeing all shows and hotels you want. After that, you walk back to the hotel which your car has been parked.

Some free shows begin in the evening. They are Pirate show in TI and Masquettte in Reo. Then, we could map out the time; a couple of shows in the morning and two-three shows in the afternoon. All shows have the time tables, so we better off to have one not to miss the time. I think you couldn't complete all shows a day, it needs 2days or more. If you are just one night staying travelers, it better off picking out 2-3 shows you want most and watch them. Give it up to see everything in a night.
