I think it's wonderful that you want to take your daughter to Vegas. I've stayed at the Aladdin (which is now Planet Hollywood), the Stardust (which they tore down) and the Bellagio (for my honeymoon). I would recommnend the Bellagio but not for a 21st birthday celebration. I'm thinking NY/NY, MGM, the Luxor, or Mandalay Bay. Any of those would be great to stay at. You could take her to a show while you're there. There are so many things to do in Vegas.

You really can't go wrong with any of the larger hotels/casinos on The Strip. You'll only really use your hotel for a little sight-seeing and a place to crash. Otherwise, you'll be out galavanting around The Strip with the other high-rollers ;).
If your daughter does not care for the crowded hustle-and-bustle of The Strip, I might suggest the Hard Rock Hotel or The Palms. Both of these hotels are really popular for the younger crowd these days and you can do a fair amound of celebrity watching on any particular weekend.
If your daughter wants to get far away, but still have decent access to The Strip (via taxi or rental car), I'll suggest Red Rock Hotel/Casino or Green Valley Ranch (in Henderson). Red Rock is one of the newer casinos that lies on the western outskirts of Las Vegas. Green Valley Ranch is in a shopping district south of Vegas in Henderson. Both are definitely upscale and offer the same amenities that the large hotels on The Strip offer.
If you're not renting a car and prefer to stay in one location, definitely hang out on The Strip. You generally cannot go wrong with the Bellagio (which also has a great seafood buffet), The Paris or The Venetian. All are close to some great shopping areas (Fashion Show Mall, Miracle Mile Shops at The Aladdin).
Hope this helps and good luck!!!

Congratulations - You can never begin planning a LV trip too early, and for going Tuesday to Friday.
I find that I can save money by booking the air & hotel separate. Check the online web sites, but book your room through the hotel. Book a good deal as early as you can then check room rates every week or two for a great deal, you never know when one will pop up.
The two online sites I use to compare room rates with the hotels web site - Many LV hotels will price match

If you would like to take your daughter out for a dinner, that both of you will never forget.
"Top of the World" - Stratosphere - The food isn't the greatest but the view from 900ft at sunset is one you will never forget. The restaurant rotates 360 degrees once per hour.
Mon-Ami-Gabi - Paris - Ask to set outside(after dark) - A little expensive but the atmosphere and view(Fountains of Bellagio) is amazing

Our favorite day tour
Mt. Charleston - Toiyabe National Forest - only 35 miles North of LV on I-95 - But, at 12,000ft Mt Charleston is a good 30 degrees cooler than LV. Beautiful old growth forest, picnic facilities, hiking trails, campgrounds, lodge, awesome

We are only taking 7 comped nights & paying for 12($254, through an internet special that the hotel matched) We have very good reasons to pay for a room when we could have gotten one "free"

resign on the Encore lodge (next to the Wynn). It grew to become into palms down between the superb evening golf equipment I easily have ever been too. additionally advise XS & Marquee. on the grounds which you're getting into November the climate has a tendency to be cooler and the swimming pools isn't open. Paris is a constructive lodge, there are little shops/boutiques and pathways via the lodge - the on line casino is on the smaller area and it relatively is totally darkish contained in the lodge. regardless of the undeniable fact that appropriate area! you would be precise interior the direction of the strip. I purely grew to become 22 so i'm interior an identical age variety as you and those are the places my acquaintances and that i had the superb reports at. remember all of conceal costs for those golf equipment are very high priced. many times at evening (7p-) alongside the strip there are promoters who walk around and supply out loose wristbands for golf equipment to the girls folk, take great thing approximately getting those, some loose entries contain loose beverages -- purely be constructive to stay on the strip once you are going to any loose club entries by making use of wristband handouts!

Wow .. what a mom ... that's great. Stay on the strip escpecially for the first trip there. You didn't say if you were flying or driving. If driving ... stay off the strip but if you are flying stay on the strip.
You are only going to be here for really two whole days .. you can't count the arrival and departure dates because you won't have time to do much of anything. When on the strip there is so much to see and do you won't have time to do much of anything else but look around. Just take in all the free things to see like the Bellagio fountains. The Animitronics show at Ceasars, the volcano at the Mirage, the Sirens at TI, go to the M&M factory, the lions at the MGM ... I can go on and on ... go to www.vegas.com and click on attractions .. they have a great list to choose from.
So much to see and do you won't have time to gamble ... hopefully. Good luck and have fun .. remember one thing ... it will be croweded because of the holiday and it will be HOT HOT HOT at that time. Have fun.

Stay at the Luxor. Go to the Bellagio and go to, uggh I cant remember the name of the place, but it has really good ice cream and fudge!! Its inside the hotel too! And ofcorse look in all of the hotels! Go shopping and all that cool stuff. Also see the white tigers, go to really nice resterants (the marige has pretty good ones!) ,ohh and go on the rollercoster (I think that ones in New York New York! dont worry its kinda big you wont miss it!!). Have tons of fun!!! But bring sensable walking shoes!! And dont gamble all your money away and have to sleep out side the hotel, (like my dads friends)!!!

That is awesome. I took my daughter to Vegas last year for her 21st and we had a blast. We stayed at the New York, New York. Definitely check out Kahunaville at Treasure Island. They have flair bartending shows that are a lot of fun. Also, try the Voodoo Lounge at the Rio. You can get free passes at their website: http://www.riovegasnights.com/index2.cfm

I go to the different airline travel sites mentioned, find the best deal for the day and times I want to travel then go directly to that airline website. I find it cheaper on the airline website 99% of the time.
Wow. For a 21 yo look at midstrip for flexiblity. Paris, Flamingo, Ceasars, Mirage.

Have you ever tried the gondola rides at the Venetian? Enjoy the free water show at the Bellagio. Take a day trip over to Hoover Dam.

Did not mention budget.
www.priceline.com name your own airfare/hotel price packages. ((I do not work for priceline)))
http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com another good site to get info from.
I find Palms to arrogorant!
Gold Coast oldie people/fat.
Stratosphere so/so.
Downtown, casinos to skip about. No long walks.
Wynn===FANCY!
Fashion Show Mall across from the street from Wynn.
Treasure Island across from that. A four corner thing.
I vote for Treasure Island!
