Free, Cheap and Fun Las Vegas Vacations


Hey Vegas Lovers, we know times are STILL tight, but if you’re planning an Income Tax Return Vacay to our lovely city but still on a tight budget check out these suggestions for free, cheap and fun stuff to do in Vegas. And isn’t free, cheap and fun what Vegas is all about!

Of course, we at Antiquities feel we should be on the list. Antiquities is a veritable museum of Americana nostalgia and celebrity memorabilia



Owner Toby Stoffa has been in the biz for decades and hers is one of the largest collections of rare antiques, celebrity autographs and historical memorabilia in the world – all in 3,400 square-foot  space of wonder within the luxurious Caesars Palace Forum Shops.



Where else can you see an official Civil War uniform next to a signed True Blood poster? Don’t you want to tell your friends you were thiiiiis close to Marilyn Monroe’s scarf? Or that you touched a refurbished ’57 Chevy made into a couch and met an honest-to-goodness singing Elvis?!







Seriously, check us out on Yelp for more info and come visit Antiquities and spend an hour out of the casinos and heat (or wind, or cold) exploring Stoffa’s treasure trove of everything-you’ve-always-wanted. Oh, and about that budget… no worries, we have postcards for $1!

Ok, we promised some other insider tips for Vegas on a budget so here ya go:


For great shopping head north of the Strip to the Las Vegas Premium Outlets – great stores at great prices

Get around town for less with the shuttle

Score ½ price tickets for shows the day of

Downtown Vegas has enough free entertainment with the largest LED light show, the cheap zip line and people watching to spend a whole day. Plus, the local haunts down there are great for non-casino nightlife with true Las Vegans!

Of course, nothing, I mean nothing, beats the beauty and elegance of the dancing water show of the Bellagio lake. Très romantique!

For more tips check out Las Vegas’ visitors site and the Las Vegas Insider.

Remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but hopefully some of your money can stay in your wallet.
