Have you ever wanted to take a trip to Las Vegas and skip the whole gambling scene? If so, you are not alone because many people aren’t interested in risking their hard-earned cash in the casinos.
Instead, they’d rather see shows, explore other attractions on the famous Las Vegas Strip, and check out the art scene in Nevada’s most exciting city.
What’s on the menu besides slot machines and roulette? Plenty, and that includes the Fremont Street Experience, a trip to the Pinball Hall of Fame, walking tours, and group bus trips to off-Strip locations that will intrigue and delight your sense of adventure. Here’s a short roundup of activities you can look forward to the next time you visit fabulous Las Vegas. Remember to cover all travel expenses before you go to maximize your enjoyment. That way, you’ll be in the Vegas mood, which means not having a care in the world.
Personal Loans
Before setting a travel date and filling out the details of your itinerary, pay for airfare, lodging, tours, and show tickets well in advance to snag significant discounts. Buying about six weeks ahead of time can save you as much as 30 percent across the board. Once you have a general idea of the total cost of the excursion, work with a private lender and take out a personal loan to pay for everything before departing. Those who utilize personal loans from private lenders can take advantage of competitive rates and flexible terms. That’s the most intelligent way to borrow for a trip to Vegas.
Art
In addition to several excellent galleries located on the strip, like the one in the Bellagio complex, there is an arts district just north of the Stratosphere hotel. Ironically, few tourists even know about the arts neighborhood, so you won’t run into the crowds that are a mainstay of the big casinos. You can walk to the district from the north end of the strip on your way to Fremont Street, which makes for a decent bit of exercise as long as the weather is agreeable.
Pinball Hall of Fame
In the 4900 block of Las Vegas Blvd, you’ll find a unique little place called the Pinball Hall of Fame. Parking is free, and there’s no admission charge, but you do pay to play all the classic games, and there are hundreds of them. Most machines are from the 1970s, 1980s, and later, but all are in working order. Note, there is no ATM in this place, so bring real money to exchange at the quarter window.
Fremont Street
Fremont Street is the older part of the city, where most of the casinos were located in the days before the strip became the center of the action. A large portion of the street is covered with a canopy, so you can stroll around without worrying about the sun or rain. If you want to take your family out to dinner, there are plenty of budget options in this classic area of the city. There are also attractions like The Neon Museum where you can fit in some Vegas history. In the older casinos and hotels, you get a true sense of Las Vegas in the 1950s and early 1960s.
