If you’re going to Las Vegas and you’re not into gambling, there are still some entertaining things to do there - some of them free.
The Neon Museum downtown on Fremont Street displays old neon signs that once lit up some of the hotels and casinos. These are fun to see whether you think of them as history, art or just pop kitsche. Nearby is the Arts Factory, which displays up to date works by local artists, photographers, graphic designers and painters.

A number of cities in mainland Florida can be very exciting to visit. But if you’re looking to relax and get away from it all, the Florida Keys is your best choice. You’ll immediately notice less traffic and a more relaxed atmosphere when you arrive.
The Keys are just a boat ride away from the mainland, with Key Largo less than an hour from Miami. The waters there are protected so you will find excellent diving and extremely healthy marine life to see as you snorkel. For a real adventure, stay at Jules’ Lodge, a converted research facility that’s now an underwater hotel. It’s nestled in a perfect spot to see marine life. You’ll have the scuba your way there and back, but they offer a three-hour class for the inexperienced.
