In a city as big as Las Vegas, you're bound to find the typical art galleries and history and science museums. You probably didn't know that you could also find a museum as unique as the Sunbelt Classic and Antique Auto Museum. The owner, Jim Rogers, collects antique and classic cars and stores them on his private property. If you're interested, call Curator Mike Pratt to schedule a tour. The Sunbelt Classic and Antique Auto Museum is open on weekdays as early as 6am, but you have to call to reserve a free tour of the private collection.

Las Vegas isn't known for being a budget travel destination; in fact, tickets to some of the most famous shows in the city could set you back thousands of dollars. You don't have to be a high-roller to experience the thrills of the city; you just have to know where to look. Piano competitions are the Sin City's version of American Idol. Harrah's Las Vegas offers a lively show where the audience chooses the winner of the piano duel. The best part? Although you should probably buy a drink, the show is free.
