#1 The Flamingo 

The Flamingo offers a free self-guided tour through their gardens.

After entering the Casino, you’ll make your way outside again to their gardens. Make your way along winding paths through the garden fauna beside small ponds and picturesque waterfalls.  

Stop to look at the wildlife along the way.  There are ducks, flamingos, giant koi fish, turtles, and other types of animals to view.  The plaques along the path provide info on the wildlife you encounter.  

They even have live feedings for you to watch.  It is free and open to the public.  You can go at your own pace and let the kids explore.

#2 Go sightseeing in Paris

There are a million places to look up and down the Las Vegas strip. But, make sure to visit Paris.

You can’t miss the Las Vegas’ mini versions of the Eiffel Tower or Arc of Triumph as you make your way down the strip.  Stop and snap a few photos. And, maybe fit in a quick geography lesson. 

Also, check out the giant Ferris wheel slowly spinning in the desert sky. It’s not free to ride, but it is free and impressive to see.

#3 Bellagio lobby

When you need a rest make your way to the Bellagio lobby. Lounge on their plush red sofas and tip your head back to enjoy the vibrant artwork on the ceiling.  

It’s a collage of colorful glass flowers hanging as a stunning art piece that your kids will love to just stare at for a while.

#4 Bellagio Botanical Gardens 

At the Bellagio Botanical Gardens, you can enjoy some fantastic fall foliage right in the middle of the desert.

They are an expertly crafted treat for your eyes. And, a wonderland for children to explore. There is so much packed into this conservatory you won’t know where to look next.

The Bellagio changes up the flowers, plants, and decor depending on the season. It was fall when we were there so the gardens were filled with scarlet, yellow, and plum colored mums. There were gourds of every shape, size, and color. Even a record-breaking giant pumpkin for my kiddos to gawk at.

One of the highlights is a friendly faced tree. Your kids will be tickled when the face on the mechanical tree actually speaks to them.

#5 Visit Caesar’s Palace  

Visit some ancient Roman ruins and so much more when you take your kids to Caesar’s Palace. As you walk into the lobby you’ll find a chariot complete with a horse waiting for your kids to climb up in for some fun and photo ops.

Then, make your way down the Italian streets and admire the night sky ceiling. It is so surreal knowing your inside, but having your senses fooled by what you’re seeing around you. It really feels like you’re outside. Your kids will love the magic of it. 

Also, be sure to catch the 5 minute Atlantis show that happens every hour. Giant statues rise out of the stage and tell the story of the lost city of Atlantis, all in 5-minutes.

Before or after the show there’s a giant fish tank at the base of the raised stage that your kids can explore. And, it’s all absolutely free and a great place to go in the middle of the day to get out of the heat.
