Booked a couple shows so far and will be booking the heli tour of the grand canyon and Hoover dam shortly.
It depends on what shows you want to go see, but you can buy last minute tickets from street vendors for 1/2 price or lower. Works well if you're flexible on times and what you want to see. Some shows are $$$$ so saving money helps wherever you can.

Only going for 5 days and 4 nights I believe so booked 2 shows and don't think I will add another. Going to hit up freemont street experience one night and a couple casinos in the downtown area I think.

Stratosphere looks like some fun rides so will probably go there another day and really want to check out the venician, ny ny and the Paris hotel briefly.

I've been to Freemont St., it's pretty cool at night, definitely "old school" Vegas. Did all the rides on the Stratosphere, did that my very first visit to Vegas YEARS ago. Great views!!!

I ate there this past Sept. with my girl (top of the world restaurant) and it's pretty sick. Food is awesome, and the view is cool. Plus it spins and people bungee jump off the roof in front of you as you eat.

Also must do:
-Dune buggys in the desert
-Shoot full auto guns (your girl will thank you after, and dont go to "the gun store" theres a much cheaper place a few blocks from PALMS)
-Rent Jet Skis or boat at hoover dam
-The breakfast place "Hash House a Go Go"
-Ferrari rental at las vegas motor speedway (well worth the $$) Tour the Ford Shelby factory while there
-Hang out at Cosmopolitan and Hard Rock
-There's zip lines that we didnt get to do and Red Rock canyon
-If you want to rent a nice car at a reasonable rate go to Enterprise Exotics near the airport and ask for "Ches"
-Ask your cab driver about the best buffets
-Chocolate store at New Orleans hotel

That's all I can think of right now

The only must do thing in Vegas for me when I go is to win

I didn't do a whole lot of winning unfortunately lol. Was up for a little bit then went downhill quick!

Biggest loss was how much I spent on food! Think I blew over a grand on food in 4 days.
