There's still a lot of good free/cheap things on the Strip. Big
Elvis, Purple Reign, Volcano, Dancing Fountain, Conservatory, Eiffel
Tower, roller coasters, shows, Tropicana bird house, Stratosphere, MGM
Lions and more. Then go back Downtown and enjoy the cheap rooms, good
gamble, cheap food , light show and the ability to quickly walk to a
dozen casinos.
