Vegas has so many great attractions that you’ll be spoiled for choice some are free and some aren’t. You’ll likely want to visit a mix of both. To help keep costs down we usually get a Las Vegas Power Pass. With it you’ll have access to over 20 attractions, tours, rides etc. The Power Pass is worth more than $500 in admissions and discounts and the most economical way we’ve found of getting round the sights.
