Be ready to not sleep at all, cause there is no time for sleeping in vegas. You can just cruise the strip and go through the casinos to see what catches your eye. Do not expect to win while gambling because odds are you will not. Plus if you don't count on it, it will be allot better when you do come up.
Vegas is allot more than gambling now though, last time i went, i was single so i went clubbing allot and didn't go to too many shows. I'm sure that vegas is a fun town for couples as well just be carefull to not get involved in one of those 30 minute weddings, i mean unless thats what you guys want.
HAVE FUN!!!

Flamingo is a good choice because its probably the best location in Vegas....even if the rooms aren't as nice as some other hotels. Lots of free things in Vegas to do. Watch the Bellagio fountains, the Mirage volcano, the Treasure Island pirate show, the Statues come alive at the Forum shops at Caesars palace, the waterfall show at the Wynn, and the lasar show downtown. The shows are great and you can get cheaper tickets at a few places like the CocaCola store near MGM or near the Harley cafe. Gambling of course is available. People watching can't be beat. There are free live bands in almost every casino. And lots of night clubs if you like dancing. The is a huge variety of restaurants. My favorites are the buffet at Paris, and the prime rib at Lowreys.

This is something you HAVE to go see!
Cirque du Soleil - "LOVE" It's at the Mirage. I'm sure you've seen commercials for it.
I've heard so many good things about this, and am dying to see it!!!
read below:

Been to Vegas twice...the buffets are awesome and relatively cheap. Ask the concierge when you check in what shows are worth seeing during your stay. He/ she will probably be able to get tickets for you...just remember to tip!! I didn't think the Flamingo was still there, oh well. Check out the newer larger casinos as well while you are there. Circus, Circus is HUGE!!! Do some on-line research and see what kind of discounts you can stir up!

Get a comp card for gaming. It should give you a discount for the buffet. Eat there and you wont be hungry for the rest of the day. If you are going to shows get the tickets now in places like Vegas.com. IF you wait until you arrive to get tickets it is too late. Get a monorail pass for the day and just go from one place to another as you hear what is cool and what is not. It is easier to get to than drive and no DUI. Cheaper than a taxi. Go to a strip club and do the exact same acts for your BF when you get back to your room.

I was in Las vegas in late april early May go to the top of the stratosphere the view is great especially at night. see as many of the casinos as you can they each have a different theme and different attractions. Most of all have fun on your vacation.

We always stay at the Flamingo when we go. Its right in the middle of the 'Strip' and the prices are great. There is so much to do there its up to you, depending on what you like!

Great clubbing at the Palms, get ready to stand in lines if you're not on the guestlists.
