It has been ten years since my last visit to Las Vegas.
What should I go and see that wasn't there the last time?
What is new since 1997?

I go to Vegas two to three times a year - I love the shows.
Without question, "O" is the most fantastic show you will ever see. I've seen every Cirque show except for the one in Disney Orlando, and nothing comes close.
The show itself is "indescribable" and the cast performs the most unbelievable feats on land, in the air and in the water. The French word for water is "eau", pronounced "O", hence the name of the show. Go "O", you will not regret that decision.
People loved Celine Dion - just not my cup of tea. The new Beatles/Cirque show, "Love" is at the Mirage. I plan on seeing that on my next visit - it's gotten good reviews. As for a suggestion for another show, Mama Mia is great, and Danny Gans is superb. Either one of those would make your night. Blue Man at the Venetian is very unique, and the Sintas at the Rio is a very good family oriented show. If you like magic – Lance Burton is the best. I saw Dirk Arthur at the Tropicana on my last visit – really a class “B” act!
For fun we went to see the Neil Diamond tribute show at the Riviera - Jay White, the fellow that does Neil, is nothing less than perfect! His appearance, voice, clothes and moves ARE Neil Diamond. I thought that I was at a Neil Diamond concert. The room is rather small, maybe 200 people in the audience. We had a ball. You can get half-price tickets for this and many other shows at ticket outlets up-and-down the strip. The outlets are called "Tickets 4 Tonight" and they go on sale about 11:00 AM (first-come-first-served) for that night's performances only.
Another good source for reliable discounts are the books (such as “What’s on in Las Vegas” or “Las Vegas 24/7”) that are distributed in most hotels. The also give good info on where to eat and what to see. They’re really good little pocket guides!
The best free show is the Fountains at Bellagio - they perform every 15 minutes after dark - just spectacular. The Siren’s of TI show at Treasure Island is also good Other free attractions of note are the Lion Habitat at MGM, the Volcano and the White Tigers at Mirage, and the fountains inside the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace. If your going downtown, the Fremont Street Experience is truly on-of-a kind, and don’t pass up the ’world famous’ $.99 shrimp cocktail at the Golden Gate Hotel! Head over to the Rio (with free transportation from Harrah’s) to see the Carnival in the Sky.
I strongly suggest that you take a ½ day away from the strip and go to Hoover Dam. That is quite a sight! There are many tour companies to chose from that will pick you up right at your hotel.
Hope this helped.

The best teenager membership is in Henderson referred to as Frozen Fremont Street is on the northern finish of Las Vegas Boulevard North and a bus is going there from Strip however this is a playing field more commonly with tons of little retail outlets Think of Red Rock canyon, Ethel M Chocolate Factory, Pinball Museum, Atomic Test Site Museum, and many others.

If you can get here before mid-Feb... you can see the Stardust Tower before it's implosion!
NEW are the l.v. monorail. Hacienda now has a connector over the tracks on the west-side. Bellagio Conservatory & Fountains are just fabulous. Margaritaville is new since you last visited ( i think ), but it's just a 'trap'... expesnive margaritas, poor to fair mex food, but GREAAAAT views & people-watching vantage points.
Also new are tons of condo's. The Trump tower is coming right along. Adjacent to the MONTE CARLO is 'city center'... a huge huge complex of condo's, shopping, etc. Each day they hav 6500 workers on-site building the thing.
If you're going anywhere off-strip or around town... watch out for school zones. The enforcement is VERY VERY strict. 15mph @ certain places.

We just got back from Vegas. We saw Celine Dion at Caesar's. This will be her last year on the Strip.
Her show is produced by the same person who produces several Cirque du Soleil shows, so it is more like one of those shows than a normal concert. (lots of modern dancers, sets that move around, stuff like that)
The Wynn is the newest property, but I was underwhelmed by it. It looks too much like the Bellagio inside (though my friends who stayed there said the rooms are great).

the best show is Phantom of the Opera (Venetian) (new show in Vegas), and Mystere , O.
The Wynn Hotel is the newest (looks identical to the Bellagio though!!).
