So, I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow. I've been asking some friends for their suggestions on what to see or do, but wouldn't mind hearing yours. :)

    I'm heading to Vegas as well this Friday.

    Check out the Fountain Show at the Belagiao, the Show outside of Treasure Island, both free and fun to watch.

    Have a cocktail in the bar in the Stratosphere Hotel. Same view, much less $$. If you are feeling run-down at all, definately stop at an Oxygen Bar, it REALLY helps. After 30 minutes you feel like you had a full night's sleep. There is a National Park in downtown Las Vegas that is worth a visit. I think it is the site of the original fort. There is a museum and some historical sites there. The park ranger was really helpful and insightful and gave me many ideas of other activities to see or save money. the Stratosphere tip came from there. Have fun!

    The Belaggio fountains are awesome, the view from the Straosphere is amazing. I would also recommend a gondola ride at the Venetian and enjoy an evening at Fremont, We stayed at the Luxor and can't wait to go back in a couple of years. I am so envious...enjoy your trip.

    Also there is a pole dance/burlesque class you can take somewhere on the strip and just outside the city is a shooting range where you can shoot REALLY big guns...if that is your thing.

    Party like its 1999!

    But most of the hotels have free attractions of some type, so just walk in and out of them and walk around, oh and if you want an adult beverage, go to the casino and pretend like you're playing the slots and order a beer or drink (or if you're like me, let your friends gamble and order drinks). You can really spend most of the day just walking up and down the strip though. At Harrahs the Carnival Bar outside is pretty cool, all the bartenders can do awesome flair and the bar is open 24 hours a day.

    Have so much fun! I'm absolutely jealous, I can't wait to go back, I was there for 6 days and could have probably done 6 more. Although my biggest suggestion is if you're there for a long time (like 6 days) don't go out every night, we did and we were miserable by our last night there, I suggest taking one night off and going to see a show or something. Be prepared to stay up until 5 or 6am like its no big thing though, our first night we didn't get back to our hotel until 8am.

    Oh there's so much to see & do! A lot for free even! Hit the Forum shops in Caesar's Palace (downstairs) You have to ride the roller coaster on NY NY & While you're there leave your bra behind at Coyote Ugly, :) The water fountains at Belagio are a must - Remember to see them during the day & at night! Make sure to hit downtown Vegas, Fremont St! The slots are loose & the drinks are cheap & yet they have bands & plenty of live entertainment on the streets! Fremont St also has an Awesome steak or prime rib dinner at Binion's for CHEAP (i want to say like $7!) Nobody does shows like Vegas (and New York) so if you get the chance see a show. May I recommend ANY of the Cique Du Soleil shows. (Zumanity & Love were my favorites!)
    Don't worry - you will have plenty to do! Have fun & safe travels!!! ;-)

    Thanks everyone! This is amazing. We are watching the Zumanity show! I am totally excited for that. It'll be my first Cirque du Soleil show ever...haha. We've got a few things planned out.

    This trip is for my bachelorette...or at least one of them...haha. I can't party like I used to, but we are going out to party for sure, but not every night. I can't wait. Thanks for the advice.
