Fine dining restaurants, ultra-resorts and high-end shops are distinctive features of Las Vegas\u2019 cityscape; and even though this town has a bad rep for sending home visitors with far less than they came with, this hub for all-things-outrageous is a tourist hotspot for a reason. If you consider yourself a traveller who likes to live outside the box, follow this local\u2019s lead and check-out 15 free things to do in Las Vegas that don\u2019t involve sliding dollar bills into slot machines.<\/p>\n<h2>Feel the Vibes at First Friday<\/h2>\n<p>Vegas locals have long complained about the lack of \u201cculture\u201d in the city. It\u2019s true, as soon as something becomes old, bulldozers come through and knock it down. But, with a resurgence in the downtown community, there\u2019s no more question of culture, and <a href=\"https:\/\/ffflv.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">First Friday<\/a> is a staple in the scene. On the first Friday of every month, young and old gather in downtown Las Vegas to indulge in food, music and art. Take a stroll through this event to see what Vegas is all about&#8230; just minutes from the strip.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-77069\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_7187.jpg\" alt=\"15 Free Things To Do in las vegas- First Friday\" width=\"875\" height=\"583\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\ud83d\udcf7:\u00a0@princeandthepear<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Om at Silent Savasana<\/h2>\n<p>If your idea of a yoga class only involves gentle, syncopated breaths, twisty poses and mundane music, think again. Silent Savasana does yoga in true Vegas fashion.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/silentsavasana.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Silent Savasana<\/a> is an innovative class where each participant wears headphones throughout the practice. The instructor and on-site DJ can be heard through the headphones at whatever volume the yogi chooses. So essentially, the class is in silence. This soulful experience is what happens when movement, music and mindfulness collide. Silent Savasana is totally free and takes place poolside at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.palms.com\" class=\"post links\">Palms<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/greenvalleyranch.sclv.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Green Valley Ranch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/redrock.sclv.com\/Hotel.aspx?mpch=sem&amp;gclid=CjwKEAjw07nJBRDG_tvshefHhWQSJABRcE-ZCWdeqC5QviAPe3ydEUqhMOn62JuT6Szlv4PugR-X0xoCtn7w_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Red Rock Casino<\/a>, first come first serve.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-77072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_0496.jpg\" alt=\"15 Free Things To Do in las vegas- Silent Savasana \" width=\"875\" height=\"1167\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcf7:\u00a0@princeandthepear<\/p>\n<h2>Sip &amp; Savor at the Pahrump Winery<\/h2>\n<p>About 45 minutes away from Southwest Las Vegas you will find a small town that\u2019s known for wild horses, legal prostitution and a quaint winery.

However, what the city lacks in natural flora and fauna, it makes up for with over-the-top floral displays designed by some of the world\u2019s leading horticulturists. A walk through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bellagio.com\/en\/entertainment\/conservatory-botanical-garden.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Bellagio Conservatory &amp; Botanical Gardens<\/a> is proof of the magic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-77086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_7160.jpg\" alt=\"15 Free Things To Do in las vegas- Bellagio Conservatory\" width=\"875\" height=\"603\" \/>\ud83d\udcf7:\u00a0@princeandthepear<\/p>\n<h2>Stroll the Springs Preserve<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to view the desert landscape as monolithic, but a trip to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springspreserve.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Springs Preserve<\/a> might just change your outlook. With a range of tours, educational programs and special events, the Springs Preserve shows visitors that there\u2019s an abundance of beauty in the desert.
