In regards to renting a car, I want to know the price of valet parking at casinos. Also, how much are the taxis in Las Vegas? Other than casinos, what else does Vegas have? List as many as you know please.

If you're staying on the Strip, don't bother renting a car. Traffic on the Strip is horrifying. It will take you much less time to walk or take the Monorail to get you where you want to go. If you want to go to Hoover Dam or something, there's bus tours that leave a couple of times a day, every day. Valet parking is free at the hotels on the Strip - you just tip about $5 when you pick up the car. A taxi should run you AT MOST $15-$20 - and that's like going from Mandalay Bay to Downtown. Average is about $5 or so. There's also the Deuce bus - a double decker bus that runs almost 24 hours a day and costs a couple of bucks a trip and stops at all the hotels.
What else does Vegas have? If you can think of it, it's probably here. Go to www.lasvegas24hours.com - it's the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce's website, and that will list EVERYTHING in the city - because I don't feel like typing it here.

It really depends on what you plan to do. If you take a day trip out of Vegas you may want to rent a car.
I've only rented a car once in all the times I have gone. I find walking is a lot quicker than dealing with parking. We used the monorail for one day just a couple of weeks ago. The rest of the time we walked or took a taxi if it was too far to walk.
Rental will cost about 40 bucks a day and tipping the valet drivers will be 2 or 3 bucks a time.
We spent less than 80 bucks in 5 days on taxis.
Casinos are the main attraction in Vegas, but I go for the shows. I see a different show every night and try to take in one afternoon show if I can.
There are a number of museums to kill some time and the Fashion mall (on the strip) near Treasure Island, my wife spent a number of hours there.
Go to Vegas.com for more info on what to do.
Have fun
For those saying that the hotels offer free shuttles from the airport to their hotel, only a few non casino hotels do that.
You'll have to pay for a taxi or private shuttle company if you don't rent a car.

I wouldn't bother getting a car if you are staying close to the strip, and not going far from the city, like Hoover Dam or something.
Whether you drive a car or take a taxi, the traffic on the strip is heavy, especially on the weekends. Taxi lines outside of the hotels can be long, and the price of a short cab ride can be $20, but it's probably still less hassle than renting a car, sitting in traffic and parking it (that costs money too).
Lots of casinos are in walking distance of each other, and you can also take the monorail.

Taking a taxi around is a lot easier since you don't know your way around. They aren't too expensive and it's definitely worth it instead of hasseling with maps and what not. There are also numerous shuttle buses around Vegas that are a lot cheaper than taxis. As for what there is to do besides casinos, they have some amazing shows in Vegas- The Blue Men Group, LOVE (the Beatles one), and all of the Cirque Du Soleil shows are amazing.
If you stay on the strip then you most likely won't need a taxi to take you anywhere except from and to the airport- I recommend the Mirage or Bellagio. They are both great hotels.

You'll probably only need a car if you are planning to go out to the Dam. Shuttle buses run up and down the strip and are cheap. While there, if you have time, look into a helicopter ride over to the Grand Canyon and see the the new Skywalk. This is no small chopter but a chopter that holds around 20 people. Several excursions like this depart from Vegas.

It would be helpful to now when you are coming, how long you are staying, where you are staying and if you are coming for gaming or entertainment.
If you are staying on the strip and planning on gaming and entertainment on the strip use the free shuttles, monorails(free or pay) or CAT(city bus, Duce).
If you are planning a side trip via Grand Canyon tour still leave the rental to some other fool that has good insurance.
If you plan to have a few cocktails(adult beverage of choice) and don't want (NOT for free lodging in the LV jail) accommodations....DON'T rent a vehicle.
If this is your first trip to LV.... DON'T rent a vehicle. There is plenty to see and do on the strip and Fremont to keep you busy.

Too many things to list here to see. Go to www.vegas.com and click on attractions. That will give you some idea of what there is to do here.
I do not recommend driving here. The traffic is terrible and not knowing directions could be hazardous. Stay on the strip and walk it. If you want to go somewhere off the strip there are plenty of other ways to get around as mentioned above. Try the trolley ... it's fun and cheap ... get an all day pass ... I thinks it's only $5 and you can get off anywhere the trolley stops and you can re board as many times as you wish during that day. Taxis are better and safer than you driving.
Have fun and stay safe.

In Vegas, you just either walk or take the Monorail. There's no reason to take a taxi everywhere because a lot of things are worth seeing and walking is better.

As far as getting around is concerned, you have a few choices besides renting a car. You can take the CAT(bus), Trolley, Monorail, Free casino shuttles, taxi or walk.
Here are tips on how to get around with fares:

The one problem you will run into if you decide to drive is that traffic on the strip can be a nightmare.

To tell you the truth I've never been to Vegas :(. But when I went to Seattle parking was very difficult and costly. I'd get a taxi, then you can just enjoy every thing there is to look at.
