MUST SEE....EVERYTHING YOU CAN!!

From a personal perspective I can recommend:

The Venetian Hotel, its dusk sky theme and its Gondola Ride

The Bellagio Fountains and the plush interior of the Casino Rooms

The Caesar Palace Shopping Centre

The Stratosphere

Thousands of places to eat (often the buffet ones are great value)

My STRONGEST recommendation for 'something different' is to go watch the Cirque du Soleil show called 'O' and you won't be disappointed. Surreal!! :D

As a good alternative take a trip into the Grand Canyon with a recommendation to use 'Maverick Helicopters' who can be found on The Strip itself or on-line prior to travelling

Things to avoid?? Street Salesmen and anyone dressed as Elvis offering a service!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But ultimately, just enjoy the trip and cram in whatever you can!!

Bon Voyage....or as they say in Vegas: "Show me your money!!"

Went in may 2010 on a stag do.

Palms night club on the roof of the hotel, great views. 
Pure night club at caesars palace also worth a visit,
But the night club for me that tops them all is XS night club
At the Wynn, it was the best night club I've ever been to
Went on a Sunday night. It cost millions to build and deco
You have to go there!!!!

Check this website out, it's a cheaper way to gain access to
Night clubs.

Went in June stayed in the new york new york complete with roller coaster running through it. Mgm accross the rd worth a visit as were all the themed casino's. Took a hiding on the tabbles so no tips from me! Seen an excellent show called Las Vagas the show which chronicled the history of the top line artists who've appeared in Vagas including a certain Tom Jones but don't let that deter you! Just crossing the roads is an experience!!

Well worth finding out who's playing at the House of Blues in the Mandalay Bay Hotel, went a few years back and got to see Oasis supported by Kasabian.

No matter how long you go for you will never fit it all in, the place is mad. I didn't make it out of the MGM grand for the 1st 36 hours of my visit. One thing I will say to have a go at is the helicopter flight over the grand canyon. Spearmint Rhino's is suppossed to be a good joint :old: :old:

mate went for my stag last yr its class. best place in the world. eat out on the strip and not in the hotels as they are expensive same with beer. get slashed at the open bars before you enter the night clubs. see and do everything you can but no matter what we say you will soon work it out for yourself. craps was the best game for me won a decent amount on that. poker can be highly lucrative or cost a fortune i had both sides when i was there but ultimately the best thing has to be the weather and semi naked women everywhere :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Fantastic place take in all the free entertainment like the fountains outside the Bellagio,the Volcanoes at The Mirage and the Pirate Show at Treasure Island. If you can afford it the helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon is a must and to be honest the flight back over the Vegas Strip is almost worth the money on its own.

Don't spend all your time in bars even if you are all 24 (jealous :old: ) because there is so much to see and do and if you are only there a short time it's impossible to do it all but visits to Ceasars Palace and the Venetian are a must. We stayed in the Luxor which links to the Excalibur and is close to New York, New York and the MGM.

Finally one place i would highly recommend is a visit to the Fremont experience which is downtown and about an hour on the bus but well worth it but it's in a rougher surburb of Vegas so stay in the tourist area and don't go wandering.

What a fantastic City i am saving to go back at the earliest opportunity have a great time :ayatollah:
