things to do Vegas in June/July

DH and I are attending a convention late June and have a full, empty day before flying home on Red Eye. We're retired, not 'outdoorsy' and looking for a way to fill the day w/o losing our shirts in a casino. NOt into 'daredevil', but wouldn't mind a fun tour, interesting side trip or show that would let us get to airport by 9PM. Any suggestions welcome and appreciated.
  • I would only do something inside with air conditioning or be next to a pool!;)
  • Anything outside can be brutal even just walking down the strip. If you have a car the Ethyl M candy factory is good for a tour but some miles from the strip. The Bellagio Conservatory display and other art works both there and the Wynn are worth seeing. Then for a fun/cheap show look up the Mac King comedy magic show at 1 & 3 pm at Harrah’s. Discount tickets for around $15 are available with a player’s club card. Then, Freemont street downtown is a free freak show all day every day that you can tell your friends about but without pictures of the 300lb. guy with only a diaper on they won’t believe you. It doesn’t cost anything to watch and people watching in Vegas is probably one of the best shows around. “Honey, remember the money I gave you and told you not to give it to me? Well, give it to me.” Enjoy, I’ll be in a poker room or sports book.
