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!

Here are a few things that you can do:
1. Drink at clubs and lounges - RAIN (PALMS casino) and PURE (Caesar's Palace) are amongst the best two clubs with the best dance floors, decor, and setup. There is also Tao (Venetian) and Tangerine (Treasure Island). You should load up a little on store bought liquor to cut down on the amount of overpriced drinks at clubs.
2. If you're into rides, then the roller coaster at NEWYORK NEWYORK casino is the best roller coaster in Vegas. There is also the Big Shot and INSANITY rides atop of the Stratosphere Casino (with the best views in the city, as good as a helicopter view). Rides are a good way to kill some time and entertain yourself for a while without dropping a wad of cash.
3. Eat at buffets and other great restaurants. Buffets like Bellagio's or Wynn's have trancended the common buffet of stale food. They serve gourmet dishes like Kobe beef and hand made desserts. Great food, good service, clean and fun atmosphere. You'll definately enjoy this. There are also great buffets for cheaper at Monte Carlo and Luxor - great variety and best buffet for your dollar.
4. Watch the sunrise by staying up all night and partying and then seeing the drunks and broke gamblers barely make it back to their hotel rooms in the early morning. It is the quietiest time in Vegas, and a little relaxing. You can really see how Vegas can ruin you for those that you see are completely distraught over losing - but its a good way to keep your sanity while you there, which costs you nothing.
5. Go swimming and treat yourself to a massage. This will be fun. When you get out of the pool, you can feel the heat radiating on your back and your feet will feel warmer than getting out of the pool anywhere else. It feels good, and then getting a massage later will be the perfect way to settle into a fun night. Something about swimming in the heat as the sun is going down in the Vegas desert is relaxing and calming. This will cost little to nothing. Oh yea, it will DEFINATELY be hot enough to get tan in less than 30min, if not burned - so use some sunscreen just to make sure you arent a lobster at the clubs.
6. You can shop at the FORUM in Caesar's Palace or the Passage at the Hollywood Planet Casino. They have the widest selection and the nicest shops. There is, of course, the Las Vegas Premium Outlets just off the strip that any taxi can take you to - good deals there!
7. You can watch the fountains at Bellagio, the Fremont Street Light Show in downtown, and catch a Cirque Du Soleil show (such as KA at MGM Grand or 'O' at Bellagio - those are my favorite). Just enjoy yourself and have fun, dont plan out every little thing.
Lucky you, have fun - wish I was going too. Hope this helps.

It largely depends on the type of girl you are. If you are into shopping or just browsing, go to the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace - it has everything you can dream about and a bit more on display. Lots of people, excitement, and fun.
If you want to relax, enjoy the pool at your hotel. Swim, sit in the hot tub, have a drink, read a book. Enjoy the heat of the sun and the coolness of the water.
If you want to be pampered, go to the spa at your hotel, and get a massage, seaweed wrap, or whatever else you like and would enjoy. It's your vacation!
Nighttime offers several options. There are many nightclubs if you enjoy dancing. If you want to have fun with your mom and cousin, enjoy a Vegas show together (and have a buffet dinner beforehand).
Gambling is available 24/7. If you want a more relaxed kind of gambling, sit in a keno lounge and play at a leisurely pace (though you'll have bad odds). Or you can go to a sports book and play the ponies for low stakes. You'll still get free drinks (even if it is diet coke or mineral water you want).
If you want to be picked up, I suggest a bar, a nightclub, or a sports book. Bat your eyes a few times. You'll reel something in.
In short, your vacation is going to be what you want it to be. Have fun!

Eat. Shop. See the sights. Gamble. Hit the spa. Chill by the pool.
Be extra careful if you go to a lounge or club alone. Don't get too drunk - that's an open invitation for something to happen to you. If you're sitting a bar by yourself having a drink, you might be mistaken for a "working girl", so be super aware of the vibe you give out.

Depends on what you like to do. You could go to clubs/bars if you want. Or, catch a movie (or 2) at The Palms, The Orleans, or on the strip (across the street from Monte Carlo). You can go shopping, eat (!!!), catch a show (discounts available in hotel magazines). Really....it's all up to you.

Just walk around and see all the sights believe me there is a lot to see and do. Or hop on the bus or monorail. Have fun
