Looking for fun things to do in Vegas? You’ve come to the right place!
It’s a common misconception that Las Vegas is just for partying and gambling. There are many things to do for everyone regardless of age, religion, or interests. The truth is Vegas has something for everyone. And if you want a perfect day without spending your entire bank account, this guide is for you!
#1) Start Your Morning Off with Breakfast at Peppermill
If you’re going to Vegas, The Peppermill is the perfect place to begin your day’s journey.
- Get Seated in the Restaurant. Call ahead! Although you can’t make a reservation, you can ask about current wait times. The Peppermill has been known to have up to an hour’s wait!!! So plan smart!!
- Order the Peppermill Omelet!
- All their breakfast omelets have ten eggs, a full-size bagel, and a vast portion of hash browns priced around $22. It’s a good deal: plenty of food to share with a friend or two (or three).
- A person is walking around selling pictures, but you get a free one just for posing! The Freebie makes a perfect fridge souvenir. If you cave and buy the photos, remember you will now have to carry them around!
- This place stays open every Monday to Thursday from 7 am to 11 pm and Friday to Sunday from 7 am to 2 am.
- This is the #1 Place to get breakfast in Vegas; ask any local!!
#2) After Breakfast, Walk to the Strat!
You are probably stuffed full of delicious breakfast! So let’s burn off some calories walking to the Strat!
With its incredible views of the Strip and beyond, it’s no wonder that this is one of the most popular attractions in Las Vegas.
You don’t have to spend a single penny to walk there if you are clever! You can get to the top for FREE!
All you have to do is ask the concierge at the elevators to the top to go to the 107 Bar! They will say there’s a two-drink minimum to go up to the top, but the truth is, no one up there is enforcing this policy. Once you get to the top, you can mozy around the bar and enjoy the views of the city. There are stairs leading up to another floor. Up there, you are officially on the roof! You can enjoy the fresh air and watch people scream their heads off as they ride the super scary rides that hang off the side of the Strat! I consider these fun things to do in Vegas, and I’m a local! When you have had your fill of being at the top of Las Vegas, head back down and out to the Downtown Loop bus stop.
#3) Hop On the Downtown Loop for Free
Let’s start with our favorite way to get around downtown: The Downtown Loop. This free shuttle bus goes all around the downtown area and stops at many of the best attractions, including the Fremont Street Experience (the world’s largest LED light show) and the Mob Museum.
The Downtown Loop runs every 15 minutes from 10 am to 2 am every day of the week except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. It’s perfect for those who want to avoid driving while embarking on this adventurous day. I believe this is one of the best things to do in Las Vegas because it’s a free bus tour! It takes you right where you want to go without worrying about parking or traffic. Hop off at the Fremont Street Stop and go down to Atomic Scooters!
#4) Rent E-Scooters For Only $10/hr
Welcome to the Atomic Scooter Experience!
You’ve done enough walking by now and have earned your lazy moment. Head to Atomic Scooters and grab some fun e-scooters for only $10/hr. We know you will have a blast! There’s nothing funnier than watching your friends scream and almost eat S*#t as you glide safely on the sidewalks with their powerful E-scooters!

- This is on many locals’ top things to do in the Vegas list because the price is so low, and the experience is so big!
#5) Rick Rollin Smoke Is Pawn Plaza’s Best-Kept Secret
After getting your rental from Atomic Scooters, swing by Pawn Plaza. It’s a great place to hang out and have a bite to eat.
- Get a taste of Rick’s Rollin Smoke.
- Try their mouthwatering Rib Platter Combo for $37. Consisting of 1 beef rib, 2 St. Louis Ribs, three baby back ribs, one side, and a soft drink.
The best part? It’s not even remotely expensive. Did you know that when you rent from Atomic Scooters, they’ll give you a voucher for a $7 sample platter at Rick’s Rollin Smoke, the number one barbecue in Nevada.
Only if you ask for it!
#6) Scoot Around The Arts District On Your Very Own Street Art Tour

The atmosphere at Corduroy is lively, with good music playing in the background. This is a great place to go if you’re looking for a fun bar filled with good people!
#12) Vegas Strip Bus Tour – $5 One way

Ride a Deuce bus for only $5. This will take you from Fremont Street to the strip for 45 minutes. It’s an easy way to get around while saving some cash, and it’s a great way to see more of Las Vegas without breaking your budget!
#13) See the Bellagio Fountain Show

The Bellagio fountain show is an iconic Las Vegas experience you won’t miss. This free show takes place at 3 pm and lasts about 30 minutes, with a final performance at 8 pm. It features over 1,000 water fountains set to music—and it’s one of the most beautiful sights in the city.
This is it if you’re looking for a way to experience Las Vegas like a local.
