Other that that..
Venetian - has very nice Italian style-setting. Inside, theres a canal, where you can walk around and feels like you're really in Italy. Oh... 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!

Just got back from my 4th trip to vegas. Definately eat at the Rio's World Buffet for dinner. It's the best. If you are there during the week do the Bellagio Breakfast buffet. And if you are around on a Sunday (and have extra money to spare) do the Sterling Brunch at Bally's. It's located in their steakhouse. It's a real upscale buffet brunch with champagne and other gourmet food items. It's costly at $65 per person but worth it if you have the money. I agree with the other poster, go visit the other hotels on the strip. They are all themed out. Correction to the 1st poster: The Bellagio has a fountain show outside every hour during the day and at night. You don't want to miss it and it's a free thing to do. They also have a Conservatory that changes with the season and check out the world's largest chocolate fountain while you are there. The Venetian has the gondolas and the canal inside and out. It's a beautiful hotel with lots of paintings on the ceiling. A must see. Caesar's has a huge mall (the Forum shops). Love to walk through there too. Lots of statues and they have a Free fountain show that happens on the hour. Planet Hollywood (formerly the Aladdin ) has it's Miracle Mile shops. Visit the Coca Cola Store and the M&M Store. Go see the Lions at MGM. See the White Tiger at the Mirage. Go to Shark Reef at Manadlay Bay ($15.95). Take the monorail. I got a one day pass and rode it from one end to the other. It got me out of the sun for 15-20 mins. and it was senic. Check out www.vegas.com for some more ideas and www.visitlasvegas.com for a interactive map of the strip.
Enjoy your Trip!

Vegas is like Disneyland for adults. The hotels all have various themes like Excalibur is Castles, Dragons,Knights etc. MGM Grand The Wizard of Oz and various MGM Movie idols. My Favorite is Bellagio. It has a river surrounding the hotel with Gondolas. Plus the Hotel is beautiful. For breakfast try the Rio, it has the best buffet. Youre also close to Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon and if you like seeing sites theyre a must see.Have fun and remember those big hotels were built with donations from people like you.

Go to the Beatles LOVE show in Circe de le or however you spell it...Its awesome...I stayed in the Flamingo hotel, they have an awsome swimming pool area. Go to Cesar's Palace and go shopping there if you plan on going shopping at all. Or if you just wanna have a good time. Well there is just SO MUCH TO DO! I went there my second time this year and had a great time. Have fun!
