Money is no object. My bf told me we can do whatever I want to do. Give me things besides the obvious (gambling, clubs, magic shows, etc.) I'm looking for out-of- the- box suggestions on restaurants, attractions, shows, tours... anything out of the norm (he's been there 2x already). We are going in exactly seven days and will be there for four.

Is this your first time going to LV?
If you can, try to see a show. Last summer we saw Geroge Wallace (he's always there) and it was pretty funny. We even lucked up and got a table right in front of the stage. Also, try to visit one of the spa's. I hear the best one is inside The Venetian. As for dining, skip the buffet every day. It's cool to do the buffet, but not for every single meal. Look at The Palm's website and find out what upscale restaurants are inside the hotel. I also like to do the freebee's like M&M World and the animal exhibts at The Mirage and MGM. The Luxor has a fun 4D movie called Pirates. Skip the "King Tut" exhibit. Mandalay Bay has the Shark Reef show. It's pretty interesting walking under and through a giant fish tank. If $$ is no object, take the helicoptor ride over to Hoover Dam and make sure you get in some shopping. The mall inside/next to Cesar's Palace is nice! The outlet mall is about a mile or two south of the strip. You might find some deals. It's just not as exciting as the other malls.
Let us know how it was!!!

Go to see Celine Dion, even if you are not a fan, you will love this show, it is awesome.
Driving down the strip at night is a must, as are the Bellagio Fountains.
Go up the 'Eiffel Tower' at the Paris Hotel, it only costs $9 but gives great views.
If money really is no object, take a helicopter ride to the grand canyon, you can also get a 15-20 minute ride over Vegas at night- spectacular.
Eat at a hotel buffet - most of the big hotels have them, they are wonderful!!!
Check out Vegas.com for other ideas.

Visit Mt. Charleston- have lunch at the hotel on the balcony, pretty impressive considering we live in the desert. Fremont Experience-@night for the light show- a different side of Vegas. Each Hotel has a feature--Bili ago- the water show is really something you need to see--Free!
TI has a outside show--see that! Cesar's forum- a must see- better watch the statutes. Boulder Damn--its a must! Before you arrive go on line to RJ newspaper lots of info on things to do. As for restaurants if you like buffets try the buffet at the Red Rock Hotel+casino. Truly the best!!!! Hope you like Vegas!!!!!!

Can I make a recommendation? If I were you I would go to the market, get a few days of groceries, throw it into the ice chest and head out to Lake Mead!!!!!!!! Drive out to the Echo Bay Campground and rent a houseboat for a couple of days and camp out on the lake for a couple of days. That way, you would be doing something different, have a good time and spend some real quality time together and you won't spend a lot of money!!!! Vegas is only about an hour drive from the lake!!!!!!!!!
So, go have fun and enjoy your time together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's an idea no one has suggested yet: horseback riding tours of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area. About 45-mins from Vegas; professionally guided; natural scenery.

Since I don't know you or your tastes or budget that is a very hard question to answer. I go about every two weeks. I know the locals joints, the must sees for the first-timers. I know the adult shows, limo services, cheap, free, and really expensive experiences.
You can email me and I can give you details and an agenda of suggestions.
Also check out these web sites they have links to every hotel, nightclub, and special coupons including a $37.50 per person for 4 nightclubs and limo service.

If you like TV, Go to the CBS television testing Studio in MGM Grand. It was really fun when my husband an I went last June and it's free! Also, M&M world is right on the strip and that's pretty big as well.

My favorite thing was the Tournament of the Kings show at New York, New York. It's set back in the old days, with knights and joesting (sp??). It is really cool! You get a half a chicken and other stuff and you eat with your hands! It's very cool!
