Did you know… February 2012 is a Leap Year? According to timeanddate.com,  Leap Years are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth’s revolutions around the sun. It takes the Earth approximately 365.242199 days (a tropical year) to circle once around the Sun. If we didn’t add a day on February 29 nearly every 4 years, we would lose almost six hours every year. After only 100 years, our calendar would be off by approximately 24 days!

Free Las Vegas Attractions & Fun Things To Do

Las Vegas - Sign at night

Las Vegas offers so many FUN Things To Do 24/7 – and many of the attractions are FREE! We’ve put together some of our favorite “freebies” – check them out and let us know if there are any more we should add to the list.

The Fountains of Bellagio is one of the most popular attractions on the Strip. In our opinion, it’s the best show in town! Day or night, it’s a “must-see” when visiting Vegas – we try to catch it whenever we’re in town. The fountains dance to music, ranging from Opera, Country and Classical, to Pop and Broadway Show Tunes. Night shows are pure magic. Arrive early to get a good viewing spot along the street promenade directly on
Las Vegas Strip, facing Bellagio’s lake.
