Leaving for Las Vegas

I'm going to Vegas for work the next 4 days. Besides gambling and golf, does anyone have any must-see suggestions?

Paul Watson was there earlier this year - he may have some night club recommendations (probably non-stripper ones).

-- Steven Wright1. The O-Show or any other show from Cirque De Soleil. 2. An helicopter ride to Grand Canyon. 3. A drive to Grand Canyon. Also please put $20 on number 17 in roulette on my behalf. I will pay you 25% comission on the winnings. ;)

Obviously that’s what you did ;P. If so you missed a lot.

No, I walked the strip until 2 am, I gambled ( I won, in fact ) and I looked around. I just didn't think much of it.

Don't know if it would be a must see, but the LA Dodgers have a minor league team there if you follow baseball.
I'd like to help but I don't feel like Googling it for you.

I live in Las Vegas. If you are interested in going to the clubs then Pure(Caesars Palace), TAO (Venetian), and Light(Bellagio) are your best bets. Rain(Palms Casino) is also good. Have Fun!!

Isn't there an aquarium at Mandalay Bay?

That looks pretty neat. Isn't that the same as Red Rock Canyon?

-- Steven WrightGo see Celine Dion. Maybe she`ll sign to stay in Vegas for a few more years if she keeps selling out and postpone her homecoming... We really don't miss her! :->

No. Red Rock, though interesting, pales in comparison to Valley of Fire. A photograph[^] I shot some years back using an old RB67 in the Valley of Fire.

-- Steven WrightMy husband visited the Stratosphere and liked that although he was too chickensh*t to do the roller coaster thing. He like the free show at Treasure Island. He stayed at the Mirage and they had a tiger and dolphins in the hotel. he collected the hooker cards for me but forgot them in his hotel room. :) :badger:

-- Steven WrightIf you have a car there, get out of town and drive. There are some pretty good sites if you get up in the mountains, or head towards the Hoover Dam. The fountains in front of the Bellagio are pretty cool. Getting a drink in the casinos is waaay harder than it should be. Actually, the insides of the casinos were pretty much a complete disappointment for me... But they look cool from the outside, so walking the strip is fun. The Stratosphere didn't impress me, but then, the rides were shut down because of weather, so YMMV.

-- Steven WrightI haven't gone to Vegas in years, so I don't know if these things are still there, but here goes: 1. Bungee jumping at Circus-Circus 2. The indoor skydiving place (I think it's pretty near the strip) 3. The view from high up in the Luxor pyramid (ok, this one is definitely still there ;))

I hate Vegas because I don't gamble and the smoke everywhere makes me ill. But it's the only place where you can see some of the great Cirque du Soleil shows.
