My in-laws are from Romania and have never been to Las Vegas. They do not gamble but still want to see the city.Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do besides gamble in the city that never sleeps?

You can visit Hoover Dam; Lake Mead; Red Rock Canyon; The Liberace Museum; Madame Toussand’s Wax Museum; take in an inexpensive show or two; eat, eat, and eat!
Food food and more food. They have tons of cheap buffets with some good food. Also there are lots of little interesting museums and free shows to visit. Like Ripley’s Believe it or not and the Magic shows at many of the casinos.
See the Beliago waters, the Treasure Island Show, see the Mirage Volcano(all free). Walk around the Cesears Mall, and the Planet Hollywood (formally Aladdin) Miracle Mile of shops. There is a couple of short shows with animatronics in Cesears. Go see the Tigers in the Mirage .(all free). My last trip out there I spent $25 to go see the Wax Museum in the Ventitan Hotel which was so cool! You get to go up to the wax celebrities and touch them and take pictures with them.
Definately go downtown, they have GREAT food for cheap. Binions has a restaurant in the back of the casino downstairs.
stay at the motel6 just off of the strip, eat at McD’s or one of the many bargain places advertised, and get a players club card from every casino possible. The players club cards have many freebies for you. and some even will give you cash when you enroll.
the las vegas strip is gorgeous at night. the casinos are not all about gambling. they have boat rides inside a casino called the venetian. very romantic. and they have very good restaurants. and there’s a lot of attractions like downtown las vegas in the fremont experience. at night there, there is a dome show thats so cool. and how about fishing at lake mead. they have boats for rent. and there’s a mall right off the strip called the fashion show mall. very good attraction. and the magic show at monte carlo hotel and casino is very good. the comedy the producers at the paris is a good way to get a laugh.
You should be able to pick something out of interest from these sites.
