Las Vegas' main attractions are still the card tables, roulette wheels and slot machines. However, many people now travel to the city with their families and you can find a variety of free tours and entertainments suitable for visitors of all ages.
Adventure City Tours offer a free walking tour of the Las Vegas strip that can be downloaded from their website to your iPhone, cell phone or Blackberry. If you do not have any of these gadgets, the map and guide can still be printed out. Follow the tour down the strip learning fun facts and figures about the major hotels as well as information about the history of Las Vegas.
Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas is at the heart of the older part of the city, alongside the traditional hotels and casinos like the Golden Nugget. Viva Vision is a free light and sound show that happens on the hour every night, featuring more than 12 million lights in the canopy above the street, with music and LED screens adding to the effect.
Ethel's Chocolate Factory produces their own range of boxed chocolates and bars and is open Monday to Thursday for free tours around the factory floor. The tour includes free samples and a look around the Botanical Cactus Garden, which is one of the world's largest collections of the plants. Because of production schedules, the factory cannot guarantee that machines will be running when the tours are operating.
