I'm leaving for Vegas but want to experience everything I can on the strip. I'll be staying at the Paris Las Vegas. Anybody have any pointers on what would be good to do while on the strip?

Check out the shark reef at mandalay, shop at the forum in ceasars, go to the outlet off of charleston dr. (going downtown 10-15min), visit the lion habitat, ride the roller coasters on stratosphere and nyny, go bowling at the orleans, lounge at the pool, ellis island (in back of strip next to a motel 8 or something like that) has cheap fantastic meals- you can get a rack of ribs and some for about $4.99 almost enough to feed at least 3 people, go to the top of the eiffel tower at night and watch the fountain show.....just to name a few

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 remberance 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!

Correction the Stratosphere does not have a roller coaster anymore, it has a swing type ride, a rocket ride, and a hang over the edge type thing , it is fun , but cost you some money.
For cheap things , I think walking up the strip and Fremont street, the sights were awesome.

go to the top of the M&M's world and go thru the cool tunnel
Fountains of Belagio, Mirage volcano, roller coaster at NYNY, just walk into all the big casinos they are worth it, get a free ticket to the Auto Musem at the Imperial Palace, slot o' fun by circus circus is cheap old vegas, people watch from the balcony tables at Margaritaville, get an all day pass for the monorail, it helps, speed roller coaster at Sahara, listen to fat Elvis at Bill's Gambling Hall (formerly Barbary Coast), dealertainers at Imperial Palace, have a drink at Harrah's Carnival Bar, outside between Harrahs and IP, the Forum shops at Caesars, watch the Sirens pirate show at TI....have fun

Don't forget to walk through Caesar's Palace. Just soak in the sights and sounds of the Strip. Photo ops galore. All the big hotel/casinos are worth a trip inside to gawk.

Just walk up and down the strip and go in every single hotel/casino. Some have gardens, aquariums and animal habitats (lions and tigers), fountains and others have free shows.
I think someone else said wear comfy shoes - very good tip.

Go see the fountains at the Bellagio
I really enjoyed Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay
Circus Circus sucked, so don't waste your time there.
It's not cheap, but try to go to a Cirque DuSolei show. They are wonderful.

Best thing to do is sign up for players cards at different casinos and they will give you the money you win that is a easy way to get money and then you can sign up for some free spins which you can win free show tickets....... other then that you can swim at different casinos and see all the free shows at T.I, Mirage,Bellagio, Circus Circus, Ceasers Palace.....

Walk down the strip and just see all the stuff. If you've never been, the only way I describe it is Disneyland for adults. Wear comfy shoes.
