    Is money of issue? Cirque shows are fabulous there...especially "O" at the Bellagio....incredible show, but a bit pricey! I don't know, every time I go, I love to just walk through the hotels and check out all the "themes" that they have. They are amazingly done!! And THAT'S free!!

    Downtown Vegas Fremont show is pretty cool too!

    Just drink! that's all I do there! is there really anything else to do?

    Make sure you are staying at a nice hotel. You will need a nice room to recover in :)

    I was just there 2 months ago. Saw "O" for the 2nd time and it is truly a spectacular show not to be missed. There's so much to do but it depends on what you're looking for - shopping, clubs, caberets? We stayed for a week and pretty much covered it all..lol. Where are you staying?

    Oh boy, where do I start??? Depending on what you're into..I myself am not too into gambling, but like to gamble at the bar (.25 blackjack) to get a slew of free drinks(just keep 10 bucks in there and make sure the bartender sees you hit the machine when he wants to serve you..some care, some don't)...Anyway, you will see the sights like Bellagio's fountains, the gandolas at the Venetian, etc...I love the night time there...I also love O'Shea's; right next to the Imperial Palace. They have all day and night beer pong! I love New York New York to walk through it cuz it's replicas of New York City..Kinda neat. Same with Paris Casino..I also love this place behind the Flamingo (awesome bar in there too) where you can get a beer and brat for $2 or $2.50 any time of day. It's kind of a local place but love it cuz it's cheap and it's always good to meet locals who can steer you in the right direction. Check out the Cosmopolitan hotel. the bar in there is gorgeous!! So much to see and sometimes just checking it out blindly is awesome. I love meeting random people and seeing what they do. that's how you do Vegas!!

    We were just there in April and stayed at the Aria. It was awesome. I would try and go see Le Reve if I went back. Also we did the hummer hoover dam tour and it was great! Oh do the North end outlet mall it was fabulous and much better than the south end. If yoga re looking for healthy eating there is a fabulous whole foods in the south end.

    No doubt!! I replied to her post and felt like a total alcoholic but when you have done Vegas for the last ten years, you get over being a tourist and go to let loose!!!! Also, tell the hotel that you need a fridge for "medical" reasons instead of personal so they don't charge you!!! Hint, hint...

    My wife and I stayed at Ti, and requested a south-facing room in the west end of the building. That way, we could see right down the strip from our room. It was awesome. Mandalay Bay sells "strip view" rooms for a huge premium, so we got a similar view for way cheaper.

    Walk through all of the resorts. They all have some cool features to enjoy. The fountains at Bellagio are incredible. We also did a lot of the thrill rides, since we're coaster junkies. We even did the spinning thing that hangs you off the side of Stratosphere.

    Red Rock Canyon is awesome, and Hoover Dam is also a short drive away.

    If all you're doing is drinking, why don't you just stay home and go to your local bars? Or you know, go somewhere else on vacation?

    Ive been to Las Vegas many times and I still have'nt seen everything.The shows are awesome,Le Reve (Wynn) and KA (MGM) are so worth the money.Another fun show that comes with dinner is The Tournement of Kings at the Excalibur.Make sure to go to all the free shows like the Mirage Volcano,Tresure Island's T.I show,the fountains at the Bellagio is incerdible and the Rio.Great views check out the Stratosphere tower both at night and day.The Paris tower is pretty cool at night.Old Vegas is something to as well just for the history.Research online for other cool stuff,I was just there in September,its a blast.I may be going back in April for a weekend.Have fun.
