Check out the fountains at Belagio, also the Thunderstorm inside the Aladdin (it's in the shopping area, every 15 minutes. You should be able to hear the thunder)

I've only been there once, but I like it a lot. The artwork, architecture, and sculptures are just phenomenal every where you look. To me gambling sucks, as I always tend to lose , but just going there to see the sites is worth it to me. Just try to see everything you can, and the all-you-can-eat buffets.... don't miss them! Try to hit a few idfferent ones. As suggested above, walk the strip, you won't regret it (and it's healthy too!). Walk through all of the casinos just to see them. Everything there is so beautiful.

a place called SunBelt Motors (or close to that) is just up the road from the Flamingo (opposite direction from Bally's) and all they rent are convertables...some great cars:Viper for $350/day insurance incl.BMW Z4 %150/day insurance incl.Miata $65/day insurance incl.They don't take reservations, so you have to go line up early in the morning...first come first serve.We ended up with the miata as it was the only thing left (people infront of us got the last BMW and the Vipers were long gone!). Drove to Hoover Dam and then parked at the end of the runway at that air force base and watched jets take off right over head......one guy got off the ground early in an F16 and flipped it over to wave to us as he flew over!! really cool!!

You must also go on the rides at the top of the Stratosphere. After I went on The Big Shot a few years back, you could call me Mr. Poopypants II. http://www.stratospherehotel.c....html#
