If your serious about gambling, depending on what you play, go down town. I usually play blackjack, poker and slots. It's cheaper so your money lasts longer. But be prepared to not get as many free drinks, but if you tip heavy the first time...they
always come back. Plus you can see the Freemont street experience.
Bring comfortable walking shoes, you will be doing alot of it...tons of it.
Go inside as many casinos as you can.. i.e. Bellagio, MGM grand, Ceasers Palace, etc... all have something unique and cool to offer.
Plenty of free things to do, Bellagio water show, Pirates thingy at the hotel with volcano???? ETC..
Buffets are fairly pricey, but have almost everything you could want. I think MGM was like $30 for dinner, but lunch and breakfast are cheaper.
Got to the top of the stratosphere..... been to vegas 3 times and still haven't done this. If you have the balls to do it, check out the rides on top.
Flew over the grand canyon....which was cool, but was the scariest plane ride I've ever been in.
Also kinda wish I went to a strip club, just be careful.....because no matter what they say
click me. Buddy of mine actually got screwed outta $400 (not literally).
Bunny ranch.....????
