Las Vegas All-Inclusive Packages: We Tested All 5 — Which Ones Are Actually Worth It?

OK so here's the thing — a year ago, there was exactly ONE all-inclusive hotel package in all of Las Vegas. Dave and I stayed there, tested it in person, ate every meal, tracked every dollar, and almost a million of you watched that video. Well, Las Vegas heard you. Because now there are 5 all-inclusive packages in this city — on the Strip, Downtown, budget, luxury — they are everywhere.

As Las Vegas locals who have lived here, eaten at these restaurants dozens of times, and stayed at all 5 of these properties multiple times over the years, we wanted to do what nobody else is doing: actually test the math. Not just describe what's included — but price out every meal, every drink, every perk, and tell you honestly whether these packages save you money or just sound good in a press release.

Because here's what we've learned after years of covering this city: a package can save you money and still not be worth it if it locks you into restaurants you wouldn't choose or a resort you can't leave. And trust me — we've eaten at enough "included" meals to know the difference between a deal and a disappointment.

So we tested all 5. Buckle up.

The Short Version (If You're in a Hurry)

Best overall deal: MGM at Luxor — $434 for 2 nights, 2 people, with every meal, a show, coaster rides, and parking included. We beat the gap on Day 1 alone. Nothing else comes close on pure value.

Best if you're already staying there: Circa — $18 more than the room gets you $250 in dining and drink credits plus a Stadium Swim daybed. It's not all-inclusive (we'll die on that hill), but you'd be crazy not to book it.

Best for drinkers: Caesars at Flamingo — bottomless well drinks at 5 casino bars plus Gordon Ramsay and Guy Fieri meals. The math works if you enjoy a few cocktails.

Best food, biggest debate: Conrad Complete at Resorts World — the dinners at Wally's and Kusa Nori are the best meals on this entire list. But $1,506 to eat preset lunches at a resort you can't leave? Tanya says deal. Dave says rip-off. We're still arguing.

The original: Plaza Downtown — we love the Plaza, but the math only works if you drink more than we do these days. The bottomless gin and tonics have to carry the whole package.

Quick Comparison: All 5 Las Vegas All-Inclusive Packages

Prices based on real booking rates we pulled for upcoming midweek stays in April/May 2026. Not estimates — actual screenshots from the booking sites.

How We Tested Each Package

For each package, we built a realistic 2-night stay for a couple — the way we'd actually do it, not some fantasy trip where you eat 47 meals a day to maximize value — and tallied up what everything would cost if we paid individually. Then we compared that total to the gap between the all-inclusive price and the regular room price.

If our tally beats the gap, the package saves you money. If it doesn't, you're overpaying for the privilege of not seeing a bill.

Simple math. Honest answers. No sponsored fluff.

Package 1: The Plaza Hotel — The Original (Downtown Las Vegas)

Price: $461 for 2 nights, 2 people | Gap to Beat: $229 | Available: Year-round

The Plaza Hotel on Fremont Street is the one that started it all — the OG of Las Vegas all-inclusives. Dave and I actually stayed here and tested this package in person last year, and honestly? We had a blast. We walked around with our wristbands on like we owned the place, ate at Hash House a Go Go (where the fried chicken sandwich was literally bigger than my head — I wish I was exaggerating), and spent our evenings at the Omaha Bar with free gin and tonics.

One of our favorite memories from that trip? We tried to carry our free drinks from the Omaha Bar up to the rooftop pool. They stopped us at the door — you can't bring outside beverages into the pool area. So there we were, standing in the entry way, chugging our gin and tonics before heading out to the pool like a couple of college kids. I'm in my 40s. Dave's right there with me. We have zero regrets.

For 2026, the Plaza added 25% off drinks at the pool bar, which is nice — but the bottomless drinks are still only at the casino bars inside. Baby steps.

Your 4 restaurant options: Hash House a Go Go, Pop Up Pizza, Fresh Mexican Grill, and the Coffee Bar. That's the full list. All meals are off a limited all-inclusive menu, not the full restaurant menu. If you're expecting to order anything you want — adjust those expectations now.

Our math: We tallied up dinner at Hash House ($44), drinks at the Omaha Bar ($24), lunch at Pop Up Pizza ($28 — honestly you could do a lot worse for free pizza on vacation), dinner at Fresh Mexican Grill ($36 — nothing you're going to put on Instagram but really solid for what it is), more gin and tonics ($48 — at this point we're practically regulars), and breakfast at the Coffee Bar ($26). Total: $206.

The gap was $229. We came up $23 short. Close — but in Vegas, close doesn't pay out.

Oh — and they list discounted appetizers at Oscar's Steakhouse as a perk. We love Oscar's, but that's just their regular happy hour from 5 to 7 which is available to everybody. Nice try, Plaza.

Our verdict: Not Worth It For Us. We just don't drink that much anymore. But if you want Downtown simplicity and unlimited well drinks, this could definitely work for you. Just know that Dave's usual Old Fashioned? Not happening here. Well drinks only. He's still not over it.

Package 2: MGM All-Inclusive at Luxor — The Best Deal in Vegas

Price: $434 for 2 nights, 2 people | Gap to Beat: $190 | Available: April 6, 2026 — no end date, no blackout dates

This is the one everybody has been asking us about, and honestly? The math blew us away.

We'd opt for a Tower Premier King at Luxor — it's about $10 more per night than the pyramid room, but the tower rooms are nice and seriously underrated in our opinion. We've stayed in both multiple times and the tower is worth the upgrade every time. Plus you avoid the inclinators. If you know, you know.

What's included: 6 meal vouchers each at 10 restaurants across 5 MGM properties, 1 beer or wine per meal, 2 show tickets (your pick from Blue Man Group, Carrot Top, Fantasy, Australian Bee Gees, Mac King, or Thunder from Down Under), 2 Big Apple Coaster rides, free self-parking everywhere, and pool access at Luxor, Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, and MGM Grand.

We'd pick Carrot Top every single time. Dave and I saw him live and that man is incredibly funny — we did not stop laughing the entire show. I even got a photo with him afterward. Quite a pair, if I do say so myself.

The 10 restaurants: Diablo's Cantina, Backstage Deli, Public House, and Pyramid Cafe at Luxor, the Excalibur Buffet and TAP Sports Bar at Excalibur, Tom's Watch Bar at New York-New York, Noodle Shop at Mandalay Bay, and the MGM Grand Buffet and TAP Sports Bar at MGM Grand.

Our math — and this is where it gets fun: We built a full stay arriving early on Day 1. Lunch at Tom's Watch Bar ($40 + $18 wine — it's not going to change your life, but it's a perfectly fine way to start a Vegas vacation and we haven't spent a penny). Dinner at Diablo's Cantina ($50 + beers — the vibe is casual and you aren't worrying about the bill, which is kind of the whole point). Carrot Top ($120).

And just like that — Day 1 isn't even over and we've already passed the $190 gap. We haven't even gotten to Day 2.

Day 2 added the Excalibur Buffet for breakfast ($66 — nothing you're going to write home about, but great when it's included... load up the plate), Backstage Deli for lunch ($54 with wines — honestly the cheesesteak is better than it has any right to be), Public House for dinner ($44 + beers — Dave would probably try to watch whatever game is on and pretend he's not thinking about what's coming next)...

Because after dinner — the Big Apple Coaster. I loved it. Dave survived. Barely. I'm pretty sure he was already Googling whether Dramamine kicks in faster on an empty stomach. But he would do it again. Reluctantly.

One more Excalibur Buffet breakfast ($66), parking ($40), and we're done. Grand total: $584. The package was $434. Savings: $150.

The honest truth: You're at the Luxor or Excalibur — 2 of the most budget properties on the Strip. There's no fine dining on the menu. It's buffets, sports bars, a deli, and a cantina. Nobody's getting a Michelin star here.

But $434 for a complete 2-night Strip vacation with every meal, a show, a coaster ride, and parking? That didn't exist a month ago.

Our verdict: Best Deal in Las Vegas right now. If you're on a budget and want the Strip — this is it.

Package 3: Caesars Inclusive Summer Package at Flamingo

Price: $600 flat for 2 nights, 2 people | Gap to Beat: $447 | Available: April – August 2026

As soon as MGM announced their all-inclusive, Caesars fired back. We'd test it at the Flamingo because it recently got a massive pool renovation — the new adults-only Go Pool looks incredible — and we've always loved the Flamingo pool. Even better now.

That $447 gap is the biggest on this entire list. Dave and I looked at each other like... challenge accepted.

What's included: 2 meals per day at 10 food options (3 full-service, 7 quick-eat), bottomless well drinks at 5 casino bars, 2 anytime High Roller tickets, 20% off pool cabana and daybed rentals, free self-parking, and all resort fees and taxes.

The 3 full-service restaurants (appetizer + entrée + dessert + drink): Gordon Ramsay Burger (Flamingo), Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips (LINQ Promenade), Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar (LINQ). These are the ones you want to aim for.

The 7 quick-eat spots (entrée + side + soda): Bobby's Burgers, Chicken Guy, Fulton Cafe, Fulton Coffee, Fulton Street Noodle Bar, Nook Express, and Pin-Up Pizza. Fine for lunch. Don't expect white tablecloths.

The 5 bars (bottomless well drinks): Bugsy's and Social Bar (Flamingo), 3535 and Catalyst (LINQ), Signature Bar (Harrah's). One at a time, no shots.

Gordon Ramsay Burger is still one of the best burgers on the Strip — just very expensive. We ate here recently and our bill was over $100 for 2 burgers, some fries, and a non-alcoholic drink. No cocktails. So this is exactly where you want to use your meal credit. Appetizer, burger, dessert — all covered. That's the kind of meal that makes an all-inclusive feel worth it.

One thing to know — like most of these packages, alcohol isn't included at the restaurants. Want a beer with your Gordon Ramsay Burger? That's out of pocket. So after dinner we'd take the romantic post-dinner stroll to... a casino bar. Well, Bugsy's. Not exactly candlelight and violins, but free drinks are free drinks.

We also love the High Roller right at the transition from day to night — you see the lights of Vegas kick on as you come around. Honestly one of the best views in the city. We've ridden it multiple times and it never gets old.

Our math: Fulton Cafe lunch ($90 — it's part of the Fulton Street Food Hall, so don't expect fine dining, but the food is solid), GR Burger dinner ($110), Bugsy's ($26), Fish & Chips ($48 — we actually like this spot, it's one of our favorites of its kind on the Strip), High Roller ($100 for 2), Guy Fieri's ($100 — go big: Trash Can Nachos for the appetizer, pulled pork for the entrée, whatever dessert catches your eye), bar drinks ($52), parking ($40). Total: $566. Ahead by $119.

Our verdict: Good Value — Not For Us. The restaurant options are still limited and the overall experience just isn't worth it for us personally. But if you're moderate drinkers and want to stay center-Strip, this is a very solid budget option. We can absolutely see why it works for a lot of people.

Package 4: Circa All-In Summer Package (Downtown Las Vegas)

Price: $400 for 2 nights | Gap: $18 | Available: May 19 – September 10, 2026 (Sunday–Thursday only, adults 21+ only)

I had to double-check that number. Eighteen dollars.

For $18 more than the room, you get $100 in dining credits at 6 restaurants, $100 in beverage credits at 5 bars, and a daybed at Stadium Swim. That's roughly $250 in perks for the price of a cocktail. I mean — come on.

Dave and I enjoy Circa. We've stayed here multiple times and Barry's Downtown Prime is one of our favorite restaurants in all of Las Vegas. Our go-to is the rib-cap and it never disappoints. Barry and the team always take great care of us. When we heard Circa had an all-inclusive package again, we got excited.

The 6 restaurants: Barry's Downtown Prime, 8 East, Saginaw's Delicatessen, Victory Burger & Wings, Project BBQ, and Jack Pots.

The 5 bars: Legacy Club, Vegas Vickie's, Mega Bar, Overhang Bar, and Circa Bar.

Stadium Swim is one of the best pool experiences in all of Vegas. The screen is massive, the energy is incredible. We're not big partyers but the vibe is just unbeatable. Now — the beverage credit does NOT apply to drinks at Stadium Swim. So your poolside cocktails are coming out of your own pocket despite the free daybed. Because apparently free has limits.

Here's how we'd use it. We'd stop at Vegas Vickie's before dinner for a couple of cocktails ($36 off the drink credit). Then dinner at Barry's — because when the rib-cap is calling, you answer.

But here's the thing. Dinner for 2 at Barry's runs over $200 easy. That $100 food credit covers maybe an appetizer and a couple of drinks — and then your wallet is coming out before the steaks even arrive. We've been there enough times to know exactly how fast $100 disappears at that table. Not that we'd ever skip the rib-cap. We have priorities.

If you don't want to blow your entire food credit in one meal, 8 East is a great option — bit of a hidden gem, underrated in our opinion, and your $100 stretches a lot further there.

After dinner we'd head up to Legacy Club for a nightcap — real chic spot, everyone's dressed to impress, and the views from up there are some of the best in all of Vegas. Dave's Old Fashioned runs about $22. My cocktail, about the same. Between Vegas Vickie's and Legacy Club, that $100 drink credit is gone. Two stops. A few cocktails. That's it.

This is what Dave called out in our video — this one isn't really all-inclusive. It's credits that run out. Every other package on this list lets you eat and drink without thinking about it. At Circa, you're checking a balance the whole time. $100 for food is $50 per person over 2 nights — that barely covers 1 meal each per day at their restaurants.

Our verdict: Book It — But Let's Stop Calling It All-Inclusive. For $18 over the room rate, you'd be absolutely crazy not to book this if you're staying at Circa. It's free stuff and we love free stuff. But all-inclusive? Let's stop pretending.

Package 5: The Conrad Complete at Resorts World — The Luxury Wildcard

Price: $1,506 for 2 nights, 2 people | Gap to Beat: $681 | Available: May 26 – September 8, 2026

This last one is a completely different animal. The Conrad Complete at Resorts World is the first luxury all-inclusive on the Las Vegas Strip, and nobody is talking about it yet. More than 3 times the MGM package. Deep breath.

We've stayed at Resorts World multiple times and we enjoy the property. The pool complex just got a massive multimillion-dollar renovation. Club 66 — a private VIP lounge with panoramic Strip views — is the star of this package. We've been there and the views are amazing. Honestly, just being in that lounge with those views and a real cocktail in hand — not well drinks like at the Plaza, real spirits — that's when you feel the difference between a $434 package and a $1,500 one.

What's included: Multi-course prix-fixe lunch and dinner daily at 5 restaurants, daily continental breakfast and evening cocktail social hour at Club 66, priority pool access with hosted beverages (domestic beer and sodas only — more on that in a second), Zouk Nightclub entry, and complimentary valet.

The 5 restaurants: FUHU, VIVA by Ray Garcia, Agave Bar & Grill, Kusa Nori, and Wally's.

Now here's the catch — preset menus. You're eating off preset menus, not the full restaurant menus. The FUHU lunch preset is miso cod tacos or popcorn shrimp, then fried chicken or salmon, then lava cake. Good food. But this is NOT the wagyu steaks and specialty sushi platters on FUHU's regular menu. You're getting the lunch-special version at a $1,500 package price. Let that register for a moment.

The dinners are where it gets special though. Wally's is a unique, classy spot and we enjoy it. The preset dinner is grilled octopus or artichoke hummus, then filet mignon or lamb loin, then profiteroles or chocolate fondant. That is a proper fine dining experience — the kind of dinner where you look at each other across the table and think, OK this was worth it.

And Kusa Nori — hamachi carpaccio, 7 signature rolls, 3 robatayaki selections, and chocolate nama cake. 4 courses of Japanese fine dining. This is the dinner that justifies the entire package.

We've eaten at VIVA by Ray Garcia — it's upscale Mexican, we enjoy it. But the preset lunch is a taquito or queso fundido, then a quesadilla or enchilada, then a churro. Those are $15-20 dishes in a restaurant where dinner costs $80. It's fine. Just know what you're getting.

And here's the one that really got us — even at $1,500, the poolside margarita isn't free. Pool drinks are domestic beer and sodas only. Not cocktails. Not wine. Let that sink in. Also, Zouk Nightclub entry is included, but we're not really nightclub people. Well... anymore.

Our math: FUHU lunch ($90), Club 66 cocktails ($50), Wally's dinner ($200), Club 66 breakfast ($30), VIVA lunch ($70), Club 66 cocktails ($50), Kusa Nori dinner ($190), Club 66 breakfast ($30), pool drinks ($30), Zouk ($70), valet ($70). Total: $880. The gap was $681. Savings: $199.

The math works — but it's tight. You have to use every single perk. Skip one dinner and the savings shrink fast.

And this is where Dave and I actually disagree.

I think the Conrad is a deal for the right couple. The dinners at Wally's and Kusa Nori are the best meals on this entire list — legitimately outstanding. The resort is top-notch. Club 66 is a real VIP experience. If you're the kind of couple that stays at luxury resorts and celebrates special occasions in style, you'd easily spend this much separately on dining anyway. The package just bundles it and takes the thinking out of it.

Dave disagrees. He thinks this is the one he'd call a rip-off — and here's why. $1,506 to be restricted to just Resorts World for 2 nights? It's at the far north end of the Strip — kind of a no-man's-land compared to the center-Strip action. He'd rather spend $825 on the room and use the other $681 eating wherever we want — Barry's one night, Hank's at Green Valley the next, whatever sounds good. No preset menus. No being locked into one resort. That freedom is worth more to him than the savings. And honestly? I can see his point. I just happen to disagree.

Our verdict: Tanya Says Deal / Dave Says Not Worth It. What do you think? Tell us in the comments or come find us on YouTube — we love this debate.

Our Final Rankings

1. MGM at Luxor — Best Deal in Vegas. $150 in savings, math works without depending on drinks, complete 2-night Strip vacation for $434. We genuinely couldn't believe how well the numbers worked. Pass the gap on Day 1? That's unheard of.

2. Circa — Best Hotel Package (but not all-inclusive). $250 in perks for $18 over the room rate. You'd be certifiably insane not to book it if you're staying at Circa. Just don't call it all-inclusive around us — we'll correct you.

3. Caesars at Flamingo — Good value for drinkers who want center-Strip. $119 ahead with moderate drinking and the restaurants are a step up from the MGM list. If you enjoy a few cocktails at the casino bars, this one actually works.

4. Conrad at Resorts World — Best food on the list by far (Wally's and Kusa Nori are outstanding), but $1,500 to eat preset lunches of fried chicken and quesadillas at a resort you can't leave is a tough sell — even with incredible dinners and Club 66. We still argue about this one.

5. Plaza — The original, and we love the Plaza. But the math only works if you drink more than we do these days. We've moved on, but we'll always have that entry way gin-and-tonic-chugging memory.

Frequently Asked Questions About Las Vegas All-Inclusive Hotels & Packages

Are there really all-inclusive hotels in Las Vegas now?

Yes! As of spring 2026, there are 5 all-inclusive or inclusive-style packages in Las Vegas. This trend started with the Plaza in 2024 (we tested it in person and almost a million people watched) and exploded in early 2026 when MGM, Caesars, Circa, and the Conrad at Resorts World all launched packages within weeks of each other. A year ago there was one option. Now there are five. Vegas is changing — and for once, it's changing in the traveler's favor.

Which Las Vegas all-inclusive is the best deal?

Based on our testing, the MGM All-Inclusive at Luxor is the best value right now. At $434 for 2 nights for 2 people, our individual cost tally came to $584 — saving about $150. Unlike the Plaza or Caesars, the math works regardless of how much you drink because there's just so much included beyond meals. A show, coaster rides, parking, pool access — it all adds up fast.

Is the MGM all-inclusive really all-inclusive?

It's a bundled package — not an unlimited Caribbean-style resort experience. You get 6 meal vouchers each from special menus (not the full restaurant menu), 1 beer or wine per meal (not bottomless), 2 show tickets total (not per person), and self-parking. Gratuity is not included. It's the best value deal in Vegas right now, but go in knowing what it is and what it isn't. We always tell it like it is.

Does the Caesars package include alcohol?

Yes — bottomless well drinks, house wine, and beer at 5 casino bars across the Flamingo, LINQ, and Harrah's. But alcohol is NOT included at the restaurants. That's the same across almost every package on this list. Want a beer with your Gordon Ramsay Burger? Your wallet's coming out. The free drinks are at the casino bars only. We learned this the romantic way — by strolling from dinner to Bugsy's.

Is the Circa package really all-inclusive?

No. And we'll die on this hill. Circa's All-In Package gives you $100 in dining credits and $100 in beverage credits, both shared between 2 guests. Those credits run out shockingly fast. Dinner at Barry's alone runs over $200. The drink credit doesn't even work at Stadium Swim. It's a fantastic hotel package for $18 over the room rate — genuinely a no-brainer if you're staying there — but calling it all-inclusive is like calling a free appetizer a Thanksgiving dinner.

Is the Conrad Complete worth $1,500?

This is literally the one package we disagree on. The dinners at Wally's and Kusa Nori are the best meals of any package on this list — legitimate fine dining that would cost you $200+ on your own. Club 66 is a real VIP experience with real spirits, not well drinks. But you're locked into Resorts World at the far north end of the Strip, eating off preset lunch menus, and even the poolside drinks are limited to domestic beer and sodas. At $1,500. Tanya says it's worth it for a special occasion. Dave says he'd rather have the freedom. We're still arguing about it.

Do any of these packages include alcohol at the restaurants?

No. This is consistent across every single package. The Plaza, Caesars, and Conrad include drinks — but only at designated bars or lounges, not at the restaurant table. MGM includes just 1 beer or wine per meal. Circa gives you a credit that runs out. If having a cocktail with dinner is important to you, budget for it separately no matter which package you book.

Can I book these Las Vegas all-inclusive packages for weekends?

It depends. MGM has no blackout dates at all — weekends included. The Plaza is year-round. Caesars has blackout dates and when we tried to book a Thursday-Friday, every Friday and Saturday was sold out all summer. Circa is Sunday through Thursday only. The Conrad is available for select dates May through September. If weekends matter to you, MGM is the safest bet.

Are the restaurants any good or is it all fast food?

It ranges dramatically. The Plaza has 4 casual spots — decent but nothing special. MGM has 10 options that are all solidly casual — buffets, sports bars, a deli. Caesars has the best restaurant names (Gordon Ramsay, Guy Fieri) but 7 of the 10 options are quick-eat counters. Circa's restaurants are excellent — Barry's Downtown Prime is one of the best steakhouses in the city — but your credits run out before the steaks arrive. The Conrad has the best food overall — Wally's and Kusa Nori are outstanding — but you're eating preset menus, not the full experience. Every package involves trade-offs. That's why we did the math.

30 Best Free Things You Must Do in Las Vegas 2024 (something for everyone)

Let’s face it, Las Vegas has definitely become a primo and expensive destination to visit.

I mean it is the land of flashing lights, questionable life choices, and buffets that would make your grandma blush (and possibly faint). You've seen it in the movies: clinking casino chips, oceans of perfume, and enough Elvis impersonators to fill a stadium. But what if I told you there's a whole other side to Vegas, a side that doesn't involve questionable bets and questionable tans?

That's right, we're talking about FREE Vegas. Because let's be honest, who wants to blow their entire vacation fund on a single spin of the roulette wheel, only to end up with a blinking plastic souvenir that says "Congratulations, you played!" (Spoiler alert: everyone else did too). If you’re really feeling like making it a total saving kind of day you enjoy some amazing Las Vegas Cheap Eats that we really enjoy.

We hope you enjoy our in depth Free and Cheap Things to do here in Vegas and the surrounding areas.

Hit the Free Shows!

Free Adult Comedy at South Point

Catch a late-night laugh with "The Dirty," a free adult comedy show happening Friday night’s at 12:30 am at South Point. This show is for ages 21 and over, so be sure to bring your ID. Shows can get crowded, so arrive early to secure a good seat.

Bonus South Point Activity: While you're at South Point, check to see whether there's a free equestrian show happening during your visit. The South Point Arena offers free entry to show jumping, barrel racing, and other fun equestrian events on a regular basis.

Free Cabaret Shows at Le Cabaret Lounge inside Paris

Le Cabaret Lounge at Paris has recently started offering free cabaret shows every Friday and Saturday nights. There are two shows:

La Femme, which starts at 9pm and 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and the The Red Show at 10pm and midnight provide a Moulin Rouge vibe.

Free Country Music Performances at Blake Shelton's Ole Red

New Blake Shelton's Ole Red located right outside the Horseshoe Casino offers cover free live country music performances throughout the day. We think Ole Red is a welcome addition to the Center Strip scene. This place has been very busy since it’s opening however so we recommend arriving early.

Free Dueling Pianos and Big Elvis Shows at Harrah's Piano Bar

You can watch talented pianists go head-to-head in a musical battle, taking requests and creating a high-energy atmosphere at the Piano Bar. Or, if you prefer something more classic, you can catch "Big Elvis" perform all your favorite Elvis Presley hits. A little pro tip as well, you don't even need to enter the bar if you don’t want to – you can watch the show from the edge of the casino floor and dance along with the onlookers – we’ve done it!

Free Performances at Carnaval Court outside Harrah's

Carnaval Court, located just outside Harrah's Casino, provides cover free live bands and DJ’s regularly.  You can regularly hear the bands cranking away from the stahe while you’re strolling down the Strip between Harrah’s and LINQ.

[Keep in mind that while all these shows themselves are free, any drinks or food you order will be extra. And, you can expect the typical pricier fare associated with Center Strip establishments.]

Watching The Sphere Light Up the Night

This massive new entertainment venue boasts an incredible exterior covered in high-resolution LED panels. It’s fun to watch the exterior show and crazy displays on the Sphere, which of course is free. Now, if one of your favorite artists is performing at The Sphere, we recommend checking out the show, because live shows inside the Sphere are incredible and well worth it in our opinion.  If you do go to The Sphere, we just caution that the Sphere can generate quite a bit of traffic so if you are driving be prepared to add extra time.

Lake of Dreams at the Wynn

The Lake of Dreams show at the Wynn Las Vegas goes on every half hour after sunset until 11:30PM.  The 20,000-square-foot lake transforms into a magical stage with giant puppets, robots, and a colossal 23-foot head that emerges from the water, all synchronized to a light and water show directed by Kenny Ortega. The best part? You can enjoy the show completely free from a walkway overlooking the lake – no need to purchase food or drinks at the surrounding restaurants.

While you're at the Wynn, you should also explore the stunning Wynn Botanical Gardens, featuring seasonal floral displays and tranquil walking paths.

The Mirage Volcano Show

Witness the fiery heart of Las Vegas erupt every hour from 8pm to 11pm at The Mirage Volcano. This iconic free attraction features a synchronized display of fire, music, and water effects that we always love to catch. Just be aware that sadly the volcano show will be leaving us. While the exact end date has not been announced it could happen sometime in 2024 with the impending construction of the new Hard Rock Hotel. So, if you are in Vegas, and the volcano show is still operating, don’t miss this iconic Las Vegas attraction!

The Free Circus Show at Circus Circus

You can experience the world’s largest permanent circus for free at Circus Circus Las Vegas. The performances are daily at the Carnival Midway starting at 1:30pm Monday - Thursday and 11:30am Friday - Sunday.

The Fall of Atlantis Show and Aquarium at the Forum Shops

Big Las Vegas Hotels' Scam EXPOSED and More Casino Closures?

Nothing ever stays the same in Las Vegas, and this March 2023 Las Vegas update makes that very clear once again. We will cover the biggest Las Vegas news and rumors that you need to be aware of, as well as the can’t miss shows and concerts coming to Las Vegas in March 2023.

New Rumors about the potential home of the Oakland A’s

Las Vegas is constantly changing, and history has shown that casinos once considered iconic can be closed and imploded for the next big thing in Las Vegas. Examples include such iconic Las Vegas casino resorts as The Dunes, The Sands, and The Stardust, and we don’t expect this trend to change anytime soon.

Oakland A’s (photo by The Athletic)

There has been a lot of rumors about potential sites for the future home of the Oakland A’s. The Tropicana on the south end of the Strip has been much talked about as potentially going away to make room for the A’s new baseball stadium. A new potential site has recently surfaced however and has increased speculation about the future of this once iconic Las Vegas casino resort. 

The latest rumor is that the Oakland A’s are considering building their new baseball stadium on a part of the huge parking lot behind the Rio. It’s unclear what this would mean for the Rio casino resort itself, but current speculation is that the Rio would not be imploded to make room for the stadium. The Rio’s new owner, Dreamscape Properties, has previously announced plans to make significant renovations on the property, so this latest rumor could be part of the Rio’s overall transformation and rebirth. 

A class-action lawsuit has been filed claiming Las Vegas hotels & casinos colluded to artificially inflate hotel room prices

A law firm recently filed a class- action lawsuit against MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, Treasure Island and Wynn claiming that they "artificially inflated the prices of hotel rooms above competitive levels" by sharing (purportedly illegally) room-rate information with each other via a third party revenue-management platform called Rainmaker. It will be interesting to follow this case to learn whether this approach has had any impact on the historic high hotel room rates we have been recently experiencing in Las Vegas. 

Is the MSG Sphere in trouble?

According to the New York Post, the MSG Sphere is having trouble signing on corporate sponsorships and is quickly burning through cash. The MSG Sphere has been betting on its massive 60,000-square-foot LED screen to attract entertainers and corporate sponsors. Many acts are reportedly concerned that the visual shows might overpower their music. Stay tuned for more on this as we get closer to the MSG Sphere opening date.
