Sometimes it seems like getting yourself or your family into the Christmas spirit means spending a small fortune. But there are lots of free things you can do in Las Vegas to put you in a holiday mood.
One thing about Las Vegas is that there is always something to do, at all hours of the day, every day. In fact, those of us who have lived in Sin City for a long time sometimes don’t know how to function when traveling somewhere else. Stores that close at 10pm? Stores that close AT ALL? What’s that about? Furthermore, what do those residents do when they’re bored at 3 o’clock in the morning? Sleep? Boring.
And when it comes to the holidays in Las Vegas, there are plenty of activities, but most are not free. And actually things have gotten more expensive this year with recent inflation. A trip to Enchant at the Las Vegas ballpark, for example, is absolutely breathtaking. But it will also cost you almost $150 for a family of four to enjoy. Not a horrible price tag if that’s your only holiday outing this year. But is one activity enough to get you into the Christmas spirit?
There are lots of things to do on the Strip at Christmas as well. However, if there are any that are free, you’re still looking at paying for parking at almost every hotel and casino. So what’s a family to do when they want to experience a lot of holiday cheer on a reasonable budget?
Well, there are many options for things to do around town that are free, or mostly free. You just have to know where to look and be a little savvy about getting your name on a list. Here are our favorite free (or nearly free) activities in Las Vegas for lots of holiday fun. -Wendy Rush, 96.3KKLZ
