My wife and I have been to Vegas so many times that I think we ran out of things to do there. Yes I know, that's sort of like saying that we've seen everything on the internet. She doesnt gamble, so the few times a year that we go together, we look for other entertainment. We really like the Cirque shows(seen all but Zumanity). We've seen most of the variety shows. Ran out of things to do and need help. Thanks in advance.

We love Vegas becuase there is no better food on the planet! Steaks and sides at Nine in Palms makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Yes there are other places to visit, but for the weekend getaway there is no place like Vegas.

How about a flight over the Grand Canyon?
I liked the Ethel M Chocolate Factory tour.
A short side trip to Brice/Zion in Utah is awesome also.
A nightime helicopter flight down the Strip is incredible.
We like the different magic shows. Penn & Teller,
Lance Burton, David Copperfield, Melissa.
Drive down to Stateline and do Desparado the Roller
Coaster. It is not for the faint of heart.

I've never been, but when I do go, I hope to explore the different hotels while i'm there, just look in the lobbies, see Celine Dion in concert, check to see who else is in concert while i'm there, go to NYNY to see the 9/11 memorial there, do the free shows like the fountain, and go inside the Venetian. I also heard that you can go up inside the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas and that they have a restaurant there in the middle of the tower, just like at the real one. =) Lots of other things to do. Maybe you can try another place as well besides Vegas as your wife doesn't like gambling...just an idea. =)

Drive out to Red Rock Canyon and enjoy the scenery (I don't know what kind of damage the fire created); take a day trip over to Zion National Park; drive down to Oatman, AZ and feed the wild burros in the town ... it's just a short distance from Laughlin or go through Kingman, AZ on old Rte. 66 if your adventurous; drive up to Mount Charleston just for a different view of the area. It's a nice drive and kind of relaxing. Drive over to Pahrump and look through some of their model homes. It's fun to explore over there if you ahve the time. You have probably already been up in the Eiffel Tower at Paris, but if not, that is neat. I love to ride the Big Shot on top of Stratosphere for a thrill. You have probably walked through the Forum Shops and Dessert Passage ... did you see the rain storm there?
If you haven't seen Celine Dion, be sure to see her. She is fabulous!

The Titanic Exibit at the Tropicana is a good bet. I saw it in 2000 when it was at the Rio. The recreations of the ship interiors and actual artifacts, along with the mock up sets are downright spooky.
The car collection at the IP is a must see for car lovers. many historic cars and autos owned by celebs and other famous people.

My favorite non-gambling pastime in Vegas? People watching! I find myself a cold drink and a perch - a chaise by the pool or a bench outside the casino, or just meander around and get amused looking at some of the fashion disasters milling about. =)

I live in Vegas, and in my spare time i go hiking in the mountains (and if there's snow i go skiing at Lee Canyon Resort), i spend time in boats on Lake Mead, i go fishing and canoing.
There is lots of stuff to do here, and to be honest if you've got a "been there done that" attitude why not go someplace else? Try Atlantic city or maybe Reno!

The shopping is wonderful (incl. The LV outlets) and there is incredible food
Have you tried Joes Stone Crab and Steaks at the Forum Shops ?
We ate there 2x in 3 days
The meal was so tasty I almost cried

You mean besides eating and drinking!?
Really, I have no idea why people would go to Vegas for any other reason than gambling, drinking and eating. I don't know that there is anything else.
