Definitley the show at Treasure Island since you are staying there. It is amazing

Go to at least one show....like a magic show or a cirque de soleil show. it is well worth the money. But book now b/c the tickets sell out fast.

Go to the Stratosphere Hotel and on the very top of the ride they have roller coasters. They are so fun, especially the one that takes you over the edge of the hotel.

Caeser's Palace- The Forum shops are amazing and right outside of The Cheesecake Factory they have a fountain show that is really cool.

The Bellagio Water Fountain Show. I think it has a show every 30 minutes.

There's so much stuff you can do in Vegas! I'm hoping for a 3rd trip 'cause there's still stuff I wanted to do but didn't.

I've only been there twice. From what I've done there, I would suggest going to the Forum Shops in Caesars Palace. It's a huge 3-story mall! Be sure to bring money! Even if you don't have that much spending money, just looking at the mall is great. It's decorated to look like outside.

If it's August, don't miss being inside your room with the AC cranked during the heat of the afternoon.

Take a drive to Red Rock Canyon. Beeyoutiful. Since your going in August, head out early in the morning, so you can hike around without melting.

Whenever we have gone to Vegas, we've gone as a family. We always enjoy going to Red Rock Canyon, it is a short 20-30 minutes out of the city and it is amazingly beautiful. We usually do horseback riding at Old Nevada. So much fun!!

I would say skip the casinos and actually SEE Vegas. There is some amazing, beautiful natural landmarks around there.

But... if you're into that thing, I guess go up and down the strip, see some shows, lose your shirt in gambling, and have a drink or two.

Cheers!

Definitely take advantage of the free shows:

-TI- pirate show
-Mirage- volcano
-Cesar's forum shops- two AA fountain shows
-Bellagio- fountain show

Then there are two things I highly recommend:

-Phantom Las Vegas
-Star Trek Experience

But those really depend on whether or not you're a phan or a trekkie.

The volcano at the Mirage, the Fremont Street Experience and the fountain show at Bellagio.

The flights to and from Lost Wages...

Just kidding.

Don't miss:
Freemont Street
The Bellagio fountians
See at least one Cirque de Soleil
Take a trip to Hoover Dam (Believe me, you will be amazed.)
Blow a few $$$ at the casinos
Go to a wedding chapel, get married, renew vows, just watch for a little while.

Just have fun.
