Other that that..
Venetian - has very nice Italian style-setting. Ride the Gondola, it can be very nice.

Caesars Palace - has the place set as if you were in the Ancient-Rome. It also has a good shopping place! And check out their Atlantis show right by the arcades!

Bellagio - The Garden, very nice picture spot on the inside right by the lobby, they change the theme according seasons! Also they have the biggest chocolate fountains in the world!

Mandala Bay - Aquarium that 12,200 gallons of water with tropical fish and sharks too!

Circus Circus - has a whole floor level for arcade games (The Midway) where you can play for cheap and win prizes! And they also have an indoor-theme park, The Adventure Dome, where they have rides and other arcade games! Check out the free Circus Acts also, right above the casino level!

Luxor - has a very nice egyptian theme, and you can take a picture with the Sphinx and the pyramid in the background. (right outside the hotel)

Paris - go up the Eiffel Tower, it's not too high but you can still get a great view of the city.

Strathosphere - go up to the Strathosphere tower and it has a really nice beautiful view from up top. Plus, there are some roller-coaster rides up there too, but if you're afraid of heights, I wouldn't recommend it.

The Mirage - has a very beautiful Tropical Forest, and Coral Reef Aquarium and their infamous White Tigers!

Flamingo Hotel - very nice wildlifes from around the world, they have the garden filled with exotic birds, ucks, penguins, swans, turtles, koi and of course the Chilean flamingos.

MGM - lion habitat!

New York New York - they have a memorial spot for the September 11 remembrance right infront of the Statue of the Liberty. Also they have a roller coaster that cost $12 per ride!

Also on the strip, right across NewYork NewYork, there's a big M&M's store. If you're a big M&M's lover, it's the best store for you. Next to it, there's a big Coca-Cola store, and Gameworks somewhere near too!


Okay, I hope that helps! :) Have a fun trip!

Answer 3

I really recommend getting off the strip for a little bit, there are some really cool state parks that have some nice hiking trails through the mountians, or go to Hoover Dam.

Go to the smaller casino's and play the $1 blackjack, you won't win as much, but you probably won't lose as much either. You can always just hang out by the pool.

Circus Circus has some interesting things going on...check out the revolving bar (if you're old enough) and watch a trapeze show, definately take the mono-rail to get around, you can get a 24 hour unlimited ride pass for around 8-10 bucks.

Just meander around, go to the expensive stores and look at stuff you can't afford, I saw more ugly things that cost 3 arms and 3 legs that just left me scratching my head....there's some cool animal exhibits at Mandalay Bay.

Have fun!

Answer 4

you have become a great sort of information right here yet some isn't too precise. First, getting around may be a chore in case you haven't any longer have been given a automobile. in case you do, the international is your oyster in case you do no longer persist with the Strip. There are no good buffets on the Strip for low costs anymore. on an analogous time as there are some adverse ones, common ones and recommendations-blowing ones they vary from average to expensively priced. on the different hand, there are nutrition courtroom style places in practically each and every considerable inn. those contain, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Burger King, stylish-fil-a and each of something of your nutrition courtroom form Pizza, chinese language and different. there is Canter's Deli in Treasure Island the place you may get a brand manhattan Deli form pastrami sandwich that could feed maximum third international populations. in case you do gamble, the beverages are complimentary. So in case you choose to drink some beer for unfastened (in basic terms tip the waitress) you are able to play the penny or nickel slots all day. in case you choose speedier provider, take a seat on the bars in the Casinos and play the video poker machines (25 cents). The bartender is suited in front of you. There are some 22 considerable inns on the Strip, each and every with lots of relaxing issues to work out. they're additionally loaded with shops to flick by using besides. Take some time and go searching. There are spectacles everywhere from the whole Aquarium in the foyer of the Mirage to the flora and fauna habitat in the gardens of the Flamingo with, what else, flamingos! I guess you won't assume to work out penguins in Las Vegas yet they have them right here. in basic terms be arranged to do a great sort of strolling. *

Answer 5

For FREE, you can see the Mirage Volcano, The Sirens of TI (Treasure Island, may not be suitable for kids), and explore the Fremont Street Experience.

Go see Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo. It was, I believe, about $40 when I saw him and definitely the best show for the buck (I'm a big fan of magic!). Avoid "O" (unless you get free tickets) as it is the most overrated show in Vegas in my humble opinion.

Answer 6

there are too many to list, go Google Las Vegas and do some research. I have been there 16 times and I still find new things to do. The best stuff is free if you ask me.

Answer 7

Go to the sports book at the MGM Grand and watch a game on the biggest television screen you may ever see. While you are there check out the free lion habitat. Play the nickle slots and get free drinks.
