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!

Four days isn't a lot. If I won the lottery, I'd spend at least a month on the strip. Having said that, here are a few ideas:
1. Magic shows. That's why I go. There are currently 13 different magic shows. Some are only $10. Some start at $80. The main difference is that the more expensive shows have bigger illusions and more assistents on stage. I'd recommend just picking one that's at a convenient time and location for you.
2. Circue Du Soleil. They have several shows. Ka I found to be boring, but not everyone agrees with me. Mystere and O are awesome, but expensive. I didn't see the others. Since you're going with your husband, you might consider Zumanity, which is based on sex.
3. Walk the strip. Just walk around sightseeing and taking pictures.
4. I agree with the other posters about the fountains at Ballagio and so on.
5. If either of you is a train enthusiast, you might want to ride the monorail. The trains are driverless!
6. If either of you is a Star Trek fan, visit Star Trek The Experience at the Hilton.

Excellent! My husband & I are going Sept 14-24 to Vegas as well. When we go to Vegas there are a few things we always have to do:
- enjoy at least one decent Vegas buffet, I suggest the one at Planet Hollywood called The Spice Market Buffet. Not cheap, not the most expensive, but the best selection and best food
- watch the Bellagio fountains, it's free, it's pretty and if it's hot, you can feel the spray standing nearby!
- try to walk through as many of the fancy hotel/casinos on the strip as you can. They look close to each other, but they aren't. Wear comfy shoes, NOT high heels for this.
Each place has their own neat things to do, for e.g. Mandalay Bay has the Shark Reef; Venetian has Madame Toussauds Wax Museum (as well as many shops, and a beautiful lobby to take pics of!)
- Forum Shops @ Caesar's Palace; somewhere you can feel like a high roller shopping and looking in Harry Winston, Louis Vuitton, etc. Plus they have a free animatronic "Fall of Atlantis" show, and fantastic Aquarium there. Some will say the Atlantis show is lame, but it's always something to see for a first-timer to Vegas!
- Remember, in 4 days, it's impossible to see a lot, plus I don't know where you're staying (strip, downtown, or off-strip) so it's harder to know what you're close to. But those are a few things that will give you an idea of what to do when you're not gambling or sitting by the pool sipping a cool slushy drink! Enjoy!! You never know, we may passby each other and never know it!

Hey, maybe I'll see you there! I'm going Sep. 13-15. Well, it depends on how into gambling you are, I guess. I love to gamble in Vegas, so my "must-see" spots will be the poker room at MGM Grand, the single-deck blackjack at Imperial Palace, and a really fun bingo tournament I heard about that they do at Palace Station. If you're more into sightseeing, though, be sure you don't miss any of these things:
1. Fountain show at Bellagio
2. Volcano eruption at Mirage
3. LOVE by Cirque Du Soileil, if you have the budget for the show
4. Just cruise up and down the Strip on the Las Vegas Monorail at night for the best light show you'll ever see!
Have fun in Vegas...

First go to vegas.com. You'll get info on shows and deals.
Make sure you get to a "old" style Vegas production. You have to go to one in your life.
Stay away from Louie Anderson, saw him about a year ago and it was a true waste of money.
Blue Man group is good, I hear. If you are looking for an afternoon show take in Ronn Lucas. He is a ventriloquist and is very good. Good clean entertainment.
A unique dinner show is the dinner show at the Excalabur. It's a mideval dinner show and is very enjoyable.
Have fun, you'll walk a lot so plan for it.

you should go to the ceasars palace. it's very big,it has a collosium and they sorta have a mini mall and it's next to the dancing water place. also, you should go to the pyrimid place because at night at the top of the pyrimid it glows light that can be seen in space. also, they're these places where it looks like a space needle in seattle,wa but on top od it it's so big it has a rollar-coaster that goes around it and you mostly get to see everything. plus a bungie-jump there all the way to the top! If you like m &m's you should go to m&m world because you can buy any color of m&m's, buy gifts for your friends like a t-shirt or a bag of different m&m's you can choose. Many other places you can go like this alladin place for gambling at night and watch shows of people performing and also if you want to be a kid again try gameworks, they have the biggest rock-climbing walls in-doors i've have ever seen! If you want to cool off go to 7-11 too. i know you don't about 7-11 but it helps with the slurpees. you will see the replica of the effiel tower. one more thing is that you would want to stay at the circus circus if you like clwns. they have a rollar-coaseter,rides espcially laser-tag, water ride that will get you soaked. they have a gift shop and much more!
