Vegas Vacation!
My wife and I are going to Las Vegas tomorrow night. We haven't been in 18 years. We are staying at Caesar's (great memories)
I know it is all new---the last casino I was in was the Silver Slipper! What things should we absolutely see? We have three days and nights and nothing planned. We are up for almost anything...

The must see list in Vegas really depends on what you are into. The water show and art galleryat Bellagio, Canals at Venetian, Margaritaville at The Flamingo, Top of the World Restaurant at the Stratosphere, Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo, and Folies Bergere at Tropicanna are all excellent. The city has everything from high class to extreme low class, it just all depends on what you like.

And if you do go to the stratosphere, you have to ride the roller coaster, highest one in the country and the hot shot is the tallest ride , the view is awsome, and at the new york new york the roller coaster there is fun. and if you got some time go to see the hoover dam in a rented ferreri...... 
you can rent just about any car there.
And remember what happens there stays there.....

NFR is in fact going on now and I would suggest that you pick up a "Whats On" as soon as you check into the hotel. Lots of info regarding shows, restraunts etc etc. And whatever you do, dont let your wife talk you into walking the strip. You will hate yourself if you do.

I went inside the dam last year. The hydro plant is impressive. They do not allow any tours down inside the inspection tunnels inside the dam tho.
The size of that dam is impressive until you see what mother nature can do by visiting Mount St. Helens!

The Freemont Experience light show is somewhat impressive. If you are cheap you can go on a tour for a timeshare and possibly get tickets for the rodeo free. The wife and I got a free helicopter ride over the strip and through the Luxor spotlight (supposed to be for good luck). Still lost.

I remember when I was in Vegas every other car on the Strip was a black Viper. One of the better vacation spots we booked. I would highly recommend seeing the Hoover Dam as well. We went, but never took the tour, but visited the gift shop

We've got friends that live there. They took us to some of the "off the radar" points of interest. The one I enjoyed quite a bit was in a little town southwest of Las Vegas called Blue Diamond. The Sheriff's office and a convience store share the same building there. We bought a couple large beers and sat on the Sheriff's front porch to drink them.
Oh yeah, don't forget to bring your walkin' shoes!
