if you have never been there in person you have to check out the bellagio's fountains, they are pretty f-ing cool. while your there check out their indoor garden, it's also pretty cool. btw both are free which is always a plus in vegas

Go to the Red Square bar/restaurant at the Mandalay Bay hotel.
Russian themed bar, the bar is made out of ice. Amazing selection of vodka and martinis.
Go see "Mystere" at Treasure island (Cirque Du Soliel show).

Go to the Venetian hotel and just walk around and see all the indoor gondola canals and architecture and stuff stuff stuff.

Eat at the Bellagio buffet...a-frickin-mazing.
Walk thru the Bellagio and see all the stuff stuff stuff plus the fountains that were mentioned above.

Go to the Stratosphere hotel and take the elevator to the top and take pictures.

Go to the Wynn hotel and see all the stuff stuff stuff.

Ride the roller coaster at the NY NY hotel.

See the free outdoor hot chick pirate show at treasure Island (TI)

Rent a car and go for a half hour drive to Red Rock Canyon...amazing natural beauty. Or take the hour drive to Hoover Dam or go to Valley of Fire State park.

Checking out the major casinos will keep you pretty busy. Hard to get bored in Vegas.

Quake if you need a roadmap, rent the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for helpful pointers. "As your attorney I advise it"...

Spearmint Rhino is the only Gentleman's Club worth going to nowadays (Vegas economy's hurting right now). Don't ever pay for a cover- call the club and get one of their limos to pick you and your group up... tip the driver and you guys will all get in free.

Hit up Drais afterhours at Bill's Saloon Casino (yeah, it's kind of b-side... but the club is banging after hours). If you're looking for the posh club environment, either Aria (at the new CityCenter) or Marquee (good luck without a bunch of females, though).

If you've got transportation, head outside the strip to a breakfast joint called "Egg and I" - trust me, you won't be disappointed. If you're really hungry, check out "Hash House A Go-Go"... they've got a fried chicken eggs benny!

If you want to catch a nice sports book, go to the Palazzo and catch a table (and food) at Emeril's Stadium.

TOTALLY! Reno is at least cool place to look at and the lake is incredible.
BUT, if you hang around Vegas long enough, no doubt some relative of "Evil Knieval will show and try to jump something......

well, there's really good mountain climbing close by... i was just there and did the normal vegas stuff, but most of the shows are overpriced and pretty average.

Go ride the Sky Screamer its the best thrill ride I have ever been on. It hoist you up 250 feet then you frre fall for about 125 until the line becomes tight.

Plus thats where prostitution is legal. Lot of people don't realize it but in Vegas it's illegal. I spent many nights in the slammer learning the hard way. Wait what?

Ahh I remember my first GS manager's conference in Vegas and thinking about the fun times to have and then 3 straight days of being up for classes at 530am and not finishing until 9-10pm each day changed that mind set pretty quickly. My second conference on the other hand was amazing cuz a few of us flew out 2 days early. I have stories from that trip that I can't even tell my friends and family about haha.

Good safety tip!

If you've never been there before and don't want to gamble... if you have the time, just grab a beer (no open container law) and just walk the strip (and get more beers) and check out all of the casinos & hotels... I love that city.

I won a trip to Vegas in the late 90's. Three days and nights and I quickly figured out that was not enough time. I called the office and said I would be gone another 2 days and extended my trip.
