Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in North Las Vegas

"There could hardly be anywhere more romantic in Vegas than a hotel complex dedicated to the Italian city of love. The Palazzo is connected to its more famous neighbor, the Venetian, but swaps the latter’s copycat Italian attractions for a more sophisticated take on European luxury. Marble, glass domes and water features convey a grand palatial air, and lovestruck guests will be equally smitten by the glamorous pool area, all-suite accommodation and one of the largest day spas in the world."

"If you haven’t been to Venice (read ort itinerary here) or just love Gondola rides you can take one at The Venetian. The Venetian did a great job on replicating the canal to look just like Venice. You’ll have the option to ride inside or outside and up to four people can fit on one gondola."

"There aren’t many things more romantic than taking a gondola ride through Venice, Italy. But, when you can’t go to Italy, bring Italy to you!. A ride around the Venetian hotel is $29 a person."

"Changing with the seasons, Bellagio’s conservatory displays ostentatious floral arrangements, installed by crane through a soaring 50ft-high ceiling. The effect is unnatural, but that doesn't stop crowds from gawking, and the aroma of fresh blooms is enchanting. Peek around the periphery of the conservatory for classic paintings re-created with buds and flowers instead of oil paints."

"The Fremont Street Experience is mostly known for its overhead light show, Viva Vision, a spectacular display of lights and technology that fills the canopy on a regular basis. Street performers, impersonators and artists, known as buskers, are found all along the street level on Fremont Street, making a walk up and down the few blocks of the FSE feel like an adult carnival. A zip line ride, SlotZilla, zooms riders under the canopy and over the heads of the people below."

"The Fremont Street Experience is an attraction no visitor to Las Vegas should miss. Located on a five-block section of Fremont Street, known as Glitter Gulch in the city’s early years, the Fremont Street Experience is a top-notch sound and light show that will wow the senses. Colorful displays of lights and loud music take place several times a night under a 90-foot high canopy."

"Every evening you can enjoy seeing the world’s biggest light show on four blocks of Fremont Street. The lights and music are sure to impress the kids. There is also a zip line at the Fremont Street Experience."

"Another famous and historic piece of architecture by Paul Revere Williams is the Guardian Angel Cathedral, developed in 1961 on land donated by the gangster and casino owner Moe Dalitz, otherwise known as Mr. Las Vegas. When Williams began to work on this unique building, he decided to go with an A-Frame design, giving the church muralist a triangle canvas to paint the Guardian Angel on the outside of the building. You can still find the Guardian Angel Cathedral sitting close to the Strip, at 302 Cathedral Way."

"This church reminds us of the large population of Roman Catholics in Las Vegas, who was instrumental in the formation of this desert paradise. Located within “The Strip”, this church preserves the old Las Vegas in pristine condition, amidst the fast-paced urban developments. This basilica-styled church is famous for its stained-glass mural which depicts the resorts on the Strip in flames and is one of the central churches in Las Vegas."

"A four-sided spire capped with a cross is located to the front left of the cathedral. At its base is a statue of the Holy Family. There is a large mosaic over the main entrance of the cathedral by Los Angeles artist Edith Piczek."

"One of the more interesting places to view Las Vegas art is the Marjorie Barrick Museum. Located on the campus of UNLV, the Marjorie Barrick Museum is situated within a renovated historic gymnasium that features contemporary artworks as well as Pre-Columbian and Mesoamerican art. The six exhibit galleries include 50 pieces of international contemporary artwork from the Vogel collection which was bequeathed to the museum in 2010."

"Located on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, the Barrick Museum features rotating exhibitions of everything from contemporary paintings to glass work to Ansel Adams' legendary collection of photography. Its well-curated collections and fun, hip vibe make it the perfect place to escape to for an hour or two. Admission is also free—perfect if you've been dealt a losing hand on the Strip."

"It's hard to say what's more impressive: the museum's physical location in a historic federal courthouse where mobsters sat for federal hearings in 1950–51, the fact that the board of directors is headed up by a former FBI special agent, or the thoughtfully curated exhibits telling the story of organized crime in America. In addition to hands-on FBI equipment and mob-related artifacts, the museum boasts a series of multimedia exhibits featuring interviews with real-life Tony Sopranos."

"Changing with the seasons, Bellagio’s conservatory displays ostentatious floral arrangements, installed by crane through a soaring 50ft-high ceiling.

"Just west of Las Vegas, the limestone cliffs and alpine forested peaks of the lofty Spring Mountains rise unmistakably above the Mojave Desert.
