The Bellagio hotel is a symbol of Italian decadence near the south side of the Las Vegas Strip. But it's what is located outside the hotel that draws spectators both night and day. The Dancing Waters is a tourist attraction for all to see. Best of all, they don't cost you a nickel.

There's shopping and then there's shopping in Las Vegas. The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace redefine the shopping experience for the spending- and entertainment-starved alike. With stores like Bvlgari, Christian Dior and Valentino, the shopping definitely is not free. But if you like walking through ancient Rome complete with a fake moving blue sky and seeing talking and moving statues that rival anything da Vinci ever dreamed up, then this is the place to be. Stop and watch statues play out the Fall of Atlantis every hour on the hour multiple times every day.

The Treasure Island Hotel and Casino has had its pirate show out in front for more than a decade. Complete with schooners and swashbucklers, the show has always been a hearty good time for tourists. Recently, they changed things up with a show they now call Sirens of TI. It's a little racier than the old-fashioned pirates they formerly had, but it still packs a wallop when it comes to entertainment.
