las vegas birthday freebies: your perfect birthday itinerary
Las Vegas might be known for high-stakes tables and luxury suites, but when it’s your birthday, the city rolls out the red carpet - for free! From complimentary food and drinks to attraction tickets, Sin City knows how to celebrate your special day in style without draining your wallet. So grab your ID, sign up for a few rewards programs, and get ready to party like it’s your birthday (because it is!)
Birthday Breakfast Part 1 - Starbucks
FREE Drink | Website
If you’re anything like us, you need your morning caffeine to get the day started. On your birthday, Starbucks will treat you to a FREE Birthday Reward like a hand-crafted beverage or bottled beverage - but there are a few caveats. First, you need to be a Starbucks Rewards member at least seven days prior to your birthday. Then, you need to have made at least one star-earning purchase prior to your birthday - even a small purchase will make sure you qualify!
Keep in mind that most casino-owned Starbucks locations do not honor any promotions. To redeem this offer on the strip, visit the Starbucks inside of Target across from Park MGM.
Breakfast Part 2 - Krispy Kreme
Free Donut | Website
After picking up your coffee, walk down the street to Excalibur and pick up your free birthday donut! According to the website, you need to be a rewards member 24 hours before your birthday in order to receive this offer so be sure to sign up early.
If you’re not on the Las Vegas Strip, this offer is still valid at the other locations throughout the Vegas Valley.
Birthday Activity 1 - Lion Habitat Ranch
Free Admission | Website
After breakfast, the free fun begins! The Lion Habitat offers FREE admission on your birthday. A short drive or rideshare ride from the Las Vegas Strip in Henderson, Lion Habitat Ranch offers a wild detour from the neon lights with up-close encounters of majestic African lions and other exotic animals. Originally home to the lions once showcased at the MGM Grand, this 8.5-acre nonprofit sanctuary now houses over 40 lions, along with birds, emus, and tortoises - all cared for in a safe, enriching environment
Although Uber and Lyft no longer offer free rides on your birthday, they often have promotions going on in Vegas. Before booking a ride, be sure to check both apps for promotions and to make sure you get the best price.
Birthday Lunch - Texas Roadhouse
Right around the corner from the Lion Ranch Habitat, Texas Roadhouse is a birthday hotspot where the celebration comes with a side of Southern flair, and some seriously crave-worthy rolls. Known for its lively atmosphere and legendary hospitality, the restaurant makes birthdays extra special with a few fun perks.
If you join the Texas Roadhouse VIP Club, you can score a free appetizer, a sidekick of ribs, or a free dessert. But let’s face it, the real star of the show is those warm, buttery, cinnamon-honey glazed rolls that are brought to your table as often as you like!
Heads up if you’ve never been before, they also have an extra special way to celebrate - it’s a “birthday saddle” ride while the staff serenade you with a round of Happy Birthday. Don’t worry, this part is optional if that doesn’t sound like your thing!
Birthday Activity 2 - Paradox Museum
Free Admission | Website
After lunch, you can return to the strip for another birthday activity at the Paradox Museum. The museum is located on the Las Vegas Strip near the MGM Grand, and they are currently offering FREE admission for your birthday.
Prepare to have your mind twisted and your camera roll filled at the Paradox Museum Las Vegas, a wildly interactive attraction that turns reality on its head. With over 90 mind-bending exhibits, this immersive experience invites you to walk on ceilings, vanish into walls, and question everything you think you know about perception. From the gravity-defying Reversed Room to the dizzying Paradox Tunnel, each illusion is designed to challenge your senses and spark curiosity. It’s part science, part art, and all fun - perfect for families or anyone looking to escape the ordinary and step into the extraordinary.
There are no age requirements for this museum, making it perfect for the whole crew. Kids under 4 are free, and kids 4-11 have a reduced admission fee.
Birthday Activity 3 - Galaxy Theaters
Free Movie Ticket | Website
At this point, you may be ready to just sit and relax. What better way to do that than at the movie theater? Galaxy Theaters offers its rewards club members with a FREE movie ticket for any regular-priced showing at any time of day for their birthday.
This offer is valid at all Galaxy Theaters. The closest one to the Las Vegas Strip is located in the Boulevard Mall a few blocks east, on Maryland Parkway. There is also a Galaxy Theater in Green Valley and at the Cannery Casino.
Birthday Dinner - Buca Di Beppo
Free Dessert | Website
If you're craving a festive Italian feast on your birthday, Buca di Beppo knows how to celebrate in style - and with something sweet. If you join the Buca eClub you can enjoy a free Colossal Brownie Sundae on your birthday - a decadent dessert piled high with rich brownie chunks, ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle. No purchase is required to claim this birthday treat when dining in, and it’s big enough to share (or not, we won’t judge).
There is a Buca Di Beppo location on the Las Vegas Strip in the Excalibur Hotel and another location on Flamingo Blvd., located between Las Vegas Blvd. and Maryland Parkway.
From free desserts to thrilling attractions, celebrating your birthday in Las Vegas comes with more than just candles and confetti - it comes with rewards! Taking advantage of these birthday freebies lets you experience the city without spending a fortune. But keep in mind that promotions can change, vary by location, or require sign-ups in advance, so it's always best to double-check each business’s website or call ahead before you go!
