He presides over the meetings. That means he can control who gets to speak, what votes are taken and things like that. His most powerful duty is to vote in case of a tie. Otherwise he does not vote.

The President of the Senate's (i.e. the Vice President's) principle duty is to replace the President should he unexpectedly leave office.

If a vote is a tie, the president of the Senate (a.k.a. Vice President of the US) gets to cast a vote to break the tie.
