Las Vegas!!!!

Vegas is great and there is a ton to do there...I would say a must is to go to the Venetian Hotel and take the canal ride, they have one inside the Hotel and outside, so if the weather is not great you can always go inside. The fountains at the Bellagio are a sight to see... There is a ton to do in Vegas that is not real expensive.

My Wife and I just went to Vegas for our anniversary, definately go to a Circe du Soleil but don't pay full price, there are several places along the strip were you can buy discounted tickets the day of the show. We saw KA it was insane. Getting around its easy there is a bus called the Deuce that runs up and down the strip 24hrs it also takes you downtown and to the outlet mall. its $7 for a 24 hour pass. Google free vegas, there are a lot of things to see that are FREE!.

Heading to Vegas Sunday for a week. Will be staying at the Tropicana (newly renovated), but I'll be happy to fill you in when I get back. Sending you friend request!

I agree that there is a LOT in Vegas that is not expensive. One of my Favorite things is going to Fremont Street at night to watch the light show. It is beyond AWESOME. If you have time, a trip to the Grand Canyon or The Hoover Dam is wonderful. You can book a tour ahead of time and they do all the driving and arrange for the food.
And the Garden inside the Bellagio Lobby changes every season, it is free, and you can check out the Glass flowers on the ceiling as you go in.

A helicopter ride at sunset down the Strip is very romantic (and they provided the Champagne!)

I loooove Vegas!! Since you're stayin in Paris Paris you should definitely do the Eiffel Tower at night! The Bellagio fountains are gorgeous from above. One of my favorite places was actually in the Mirage- it's called minus5 ice bar and it's seriously ALL ICE!!! If you don't like the cold this won't appeal to you but I had a blast there! It's small and cold but it's entirely made of ice- including the glasses and everything! DO NOT eat at Circo in the Bellagio- blegh.

I just got back from Vegas for the fourth time! The Pirate Show at Treasure Island is awesome and free. We saw Phantom of the Opera and it was quite good. Zumanity was awesome - fell asleep during O. The coolest thing I've ever done in Vegas is to take a nighttime helicopter tour of the strip. You can find it for $129 for two people and that is the coolest!!!! We did it on our first trip and there's no better way to get acquainted with Vegas!

Oh, we went to a pretty cool magic show. Had reservations early before we went to Vegas and had front row seats.
There will be tons of shows (as people are mentioning) so it is up to what ya'll like and want to do girlfriend!

I've been there a couple of times now.
When are you going? July/August you don't want to do much outside.

Freemont street (at night).
Bellagio falls
Cirque du soleil - We saw O and it was a great show.

If you wanted Helicopter rides above vegas (at night) are more entertaining than helicopter ride over grand canyon.
Red Rock canyon was pretty cool to go see.
Stratosphere - Few rides at the top. Great view of vegas.
Mirage - Aquarium and animals at the back of the hotel.

Buffets everywhere.
They have all day passes for the buses.

edit: Going back in October again, so looking for new ideas as well.

Wear sensible shoes. Seriously. My husband and I were cracking up at all the women walking barefoot on the strip and holding their stilettos with their hands. Distances between hotels are very long and you do a lot of walking.

I think its funny how people who don't live in Vegas absolutely LOVE IT!

I live here and despise it LOL I'm sure if I weren't here every day I'd love it too.

Have fun!

P.s. I don't mean this post mean/rude in any way.

I'm getting married this year and spending part of my honeymoon in Vegas!!! Neither of us has ever been. Would love to hear from anyone who has been. Give me some suggestions on must-sees/must-dos. We're staying at Paris.

I live in Vegas so I'll give you my opinion on things.

The themed casino's are my favorite, Paris, Venetian (can be romantic for a honeymoon, New York New York. For your honeymoon I would probably recommend Venetian or Pollazo. They're set in Italy and the waterway runs through a large part of the non gaming area, it feels like you're in Italy.

Other fun, somebody mentioned the Cirque shows and those are all very good, haven't seen them all yet but a few:
- Zumanity: Very good but bery sexual show. If you're uncomfortable with S&M, Cross Dressers this probably isn't a good show for you.
- Mystiere: Somewhat comical, very good show.
- O: Very good, classy
- Beatles: Don't know, but I've heard it's good
- Elvis: I'm not an Elvis fan but I've heard it's good if you're into Elvis.

Sites:
- Bellagio: Has the Dancing Fountain and the interior is very nice, worth walking through
- Mirage: Volcano, pretty cool
- Treasure Island (TI): The Siren show is LAME, basically a cheap strip tease on water... There is a fun country bar inside, the name escapes me at the moment.
- O'Sheas has Beer Pong! LOL
- Fashion Show Mall
- Forum Shops at Caesars

Clubs: My favorites inlude, Tao, Lax, and Studio 54.

Be leery of going downtown (old strip) for the Freemont Experience. First, Freemont street is a toilet, period. Not to mention if you turn the wrong corner you might get mugged. The Freemont Experience is simply the LONG version of American Pie playing over the speakers with the Don McClean video overhead. Grab the song off iTunes and play it for the entire flight down here... you'll be cured of wanting to see that.

I feel like I'm forgetting something... I'll edit if I can think of it.

I went last year for the 1st time. LOVED it!

If you're an outdoorsy person, Valley of Fire and Red Rock Canyon are pretty cool. We also did the skywalk at the Grand Canyon. It's not as close as other things and is a big tourist trap, but it was still really amazing. We rented a car rather than a bus tour from the hotel. That way we could take our time.

The volcano outside the Mirage at night is really neat. We started out at the Bellaggio and watched the fountains, then went & watched the volcano at Mirage then the pirate show at Treasure Island. Best part -- all of them are FREE. You just have to push your way to a good spot.

If you like comedy, Frank Caliendo was very funny. I'm not into raunchy humor and was able to sit next to my 14 year old son without cringing at all. No potty talk from him.

Blue Man Group was incredible as well. You can check for discount tickets.

Congrats on your upcoming wedding and have a blast! :flowerforyou:

Edit: Have to agree with others, Hoover Dam is worth the trip.

good post, you reminded me of something too...

- Blue Man Group is very very cool.
- Phantom of the Opera is playing at Venetian (or maybe Polazzo)
