If you run out of cash, which can happen easily near the end of your trip, check out some of the free things the city has to offer. As a fan of chocolate I don't think you can do much better than the Ethel M Chocolate Factory where you get to sample their luxury chocs in chic surroundings. They even have a cactus garden so you can get your fix of the desert as well!

This has to be seen to be believed! A four storey department store devoted entirely to M&Ms. I would challenge anyone not to feel nauseous by the time they leave. They don't just sell the sweets, they sell pretty much everything you could want, with an M&M logo printed on it. This really is an exercise in stretching a concept to its breaking point. Like so much of Vegas, its worth a visit if only for the bizarreness of the whole thing.

At the Creux De Genthod you can eat on the terrace, which is gorgeously fresh in blue and white, it overlooks Lake Geneva and seats several customers at once. Indoors is a bistro with a fireplace also seating several with white table cloths and there is a banquet area for special parties. The terrace lights up at night. The menu has beef, fish, goat cheese, mushrooms, seafood, chicken liver, prawns, lamb, veal, duckling, tofu and fresh vegetables from the local area. Desserts include royal chocolate, apricot tarts or strawberries with basil ice. These items appear for lunch, dinner and for banquets with similar items for variety in the fruit, main dish meat and pudding dessert. The restaurant is great for its beauty and for its history of being a harbor rest for boats on Lake Geneva. It is open every month except January, February and December for lunch and dinner until 10:00 p.m.
