What fun activities are there in Las Vegas besides shows (Topgolf, bowling, shooting ranges)?

Plenty, mostly just off the Boulevard or at the ends of it: Topgolf behind MGM Grand, bowling at the LINQ, shooting ranges a few minutes away, the STRAT's thrill rides, ziplines downtown and the immersive rooms at AREA15.

Games

• Topgolf Las Vegas: behind MGM Grand, four levels of hitting bays priced per bay per hour. Evening slots book out on weekends.
• Bowling: Brooklyn Bowl on the LINQ Promenade, plus the big locals' alleys off the Strip such as Red Rock Lanes in Summerlin, cheap and open late.
• Pinball Hall of Fame: by the Welcome sign, free to enter, games from a quarter, cash only.

Shooting ranges

Packages start around $89 at ranges a few minutes off the Strip, one-on-one with a safety officer and often with hotel pickup. Age rules vary (some set 18, others allow younger shooters with a parent), so ask. Our listing: Machine Guns Vegas.

• High Roller at the LINQ: 30 minutes, 550 feet, from $24

Tiers, hours and time budgets are in things to do besides gambling; the zero-cost version in free shows and free things.
