The water show to classical music in front of the Bellagio is fantastic and it's free. Outside the mirage is a volcano that goes off every 15 minutes and also free. Next door at Treasure Island they put on a show out front..a pirate show. Also free. downtown is great because the street is closed and it's like an open air mall. Every hour on the hour, all the lights go off and they have a laser light show...also free. Even though you do not gamble, you can still walk thru a casino to get to the theaters to see a show. Many are wonderful. Enjoy!

also there's the lion exhibit and the white tiger habitat. lions are at mgm, white tigers are at the mirage.
mandalay bay has the shark reef which is nice.
the sahara has a nascar simulator with actual size cars you get into and drive.
and of course dont forget the stratosphere.. great views and awsome thrill rides!

There is a haunted Vegas Tour, available at a really rundown casino off the strip, can't remember exactly the name. For the price and starting location, it was actually pretty interesting...

I know the Phantom of the Opera is opening there (not sure when), it's supposed to be huge with great special effects, etc. Sounds really interesting!

New York is for younger crowd. But most hotels have stuff to do.
The Aladdin one and Venice one just have a lot of shopping though.

You can always go to some of the shows there.
If you want to see a production show, I recommend the show at Bally's, "Jubilee" (there is a "top covered" version for families at about 7:00PM) and the show at the MGM, "KA". These will cost about $90 to $100 each; that's the going rate for production shows in Vegas now. You can try for discounted show tickets at a booth in the building with the coke bottle, look for Coke World and the M&M factory. They are same day tickets; have never done this but see people doing it. I also recommend Gladys Knight’s show at the Flamingo and also the George Wallace comedy show at the Flamingo.
Well I hope that you can drive or at least get your parents to let you use the car.
RED ROCK CANYON: Its about 20 miles West of Las Vegas out Charleston Blvd (you can pick up that street at the north end of the Strip) Its a scenic drive-through park. Go early, not in the heat of the day; there's no shade.
HOOVER DAM: Drive about 30 miles southeast of Vegas and go to Hoover Dam; the National Park Service offers tours there (@ $15.) and its interesting stuff. Go on past Hoover dam to Boulder City and then to Lake Meade for a swim and/or to visit the new casino there. Also, there are tour companies that will take you on a cruise of the river below Hoover Dam. Check the web sites below.
VALLEY OF FIRE STATE PARK: Drive about 35 miles north of Vegas on I-15 and go to Valley of Fire State Park, another scenic park area.
ZION NATION PARK: It’s a long drive (about 2-3 hours), but you can drive North on I-15 to Zion National Park and back in one day.
DEATH VALLEY: If you like to visit National Parks, drive about an hour and a half south of Vegas on I-15 and take RT-127 to Death Valley National Park (total drive may be 3 hrs each way).
GRAND CANYON: The drive to the Grand Canyon is 5 long hard hours on mostly two lane roads with trucks and campers (only a short way on I-40). You can drive there and back in one day if you leave early morning, like 6:00-7:00 AM. That will put you there about noon and you will have 4 or 5 hrs before starting back and getting back to Vegas about 11:00PM. I recommend staying overnight at the Canyon (there are plenty of motels near there, like Best Western, Ramada, Quality inns) and drive back the next day.
MOVIES: There are movie theaters in the Palms (multiplex) and also another on the Strip across the street from the Monte Carlo hotel, near the MGM hotel.
BOWLING: If you like to bowl, there are alley's in The Gold Coast Hotel/Casino (beside the RIO) and in the Orleans Hotel Casino. .
SHOPPING: There's shopping at Fashion show mall right next to Treasure Island, or you can drive or take a taxi or the bus south of the Strip (just past the airport) to the outlet mall. For more shopping, drive south on I-15 to Primm, NV (at the Calif border ... about 45 miles) and there is a big outlet mall and some casinos.
In addition, there is a place called "Game Works" which is next door to the MGM, across from NY, NY that has all of the video type games anyone could want. (look for the Coke bottle).
Then there is always all of the free stuff:
1. Number one on my list is to watch the fountains displays in from of the Bellagio hotel. It usually runs every 15 minutes in summers starting at 3:00 PM; runs continuously until about midnight. Each show is different (there are more than 20 different tunes choreographed) so stay and watch at least 2 or 3. ALSO, go inside the Bellagio hotel to its lobby and view the beautiful glass sculptured ceiling AND the seasonal floral arrangements in the Atrium.
2. The “Sirens of TI” show (spectacular) in from of the Treasure Island Hotel; it runs every 90 minutes starting at about 4:30 PM.
3. The volcano erupt in from of the Mirage Hotel; starting at dark until midnight.
4. Go down to Freemont Street and see the light show. There are usually 3 or 4 different shows, starting after dark (about 8:30PM) and lasting about 5 or 10 minutes each.
5. Go to the RIO hotel to see the Masquerade in the Sky show. It runs every 60 minutes starting about 3:00 PM; the last show starts at 9:30 PM..
6. Go to the MGM Grand hotel to see the Lion habitat.
7. Go to the Mirage hotel to see the white tigers that Siegfried and Roy used.
8. Go in Caesars Palace and walk through the Forum shops to the first fountain (its spectacular) then take the first fork to the left to go see the aquarium. Then continue on through the shops to the second fountain and wait for the show to start.
9. Go into the Flamingo hotel to see their animal habitat with flamingos and penguins.
10 The Excalibur hotel also has a free show starting at 10:00 AM until 10:00 PM.
11. If you are a Star Trek Fan, go to the Hilton (off the strip) for "Star Trek The Experience"; it cost about $25.
