Things I know we are doing.......seeing Cirque show " Love ", and going to the top of the Effiel Tower . Yep thats all I got for now. Gonna be there for 5 days. Would like some bar / club recommendations too ( heard Playboy Club was cool ) Any input would be greatly appreciated !!

    haha.

    well one thing is for sure. you have to go shopping. :) via bellagio, grand canal shops at the venetian, and the forum shops at ceasars palace are good places to start.

    why go to vegas if gambling isn't on the agenda at all?

    the bellagio has a great collection of art that I'd see if I was there.

    ok, just googled, it used to house wynn's personal collection (which was awesome) and now has stuff on loan and shows exhibitions, still would go.

    lol

    Go see Jersey Boys. Great show. Sounds like you're already going a show, though... Also agree with Becky about the shopping, although that may be more of a female thing :) Why no gambling? Weird.

    The Mix at The Hotel at night is fuckin awesome. Drinks are pretty pricey but the view is outta control.
    There is still indoor sky diving at Freemont Street. (Freemont in general is pretty cool for one night)
    Blackja....Cra....Three Card Pok... what the fuck aren't you gambling for?

    Obvious answer: Blow and Hookers

    Bowling at gold coast or southpoint is fun (can drink and etc). There's two really awesome indoor go cart tracks, the fastest I've ever seen by far. You can shoot some guns at the gun store. Wander the strip at night even though it'll only be ~45 degrees out. There is a club for every kind of music you could want, and really sick house music DJ's every week. All sorts of really good restaurants that can have different experiences. (i.e. STK at cosmopolitan has a DJ and people sometimes actually dance around their dinner table). You didn't really mention when you are going but the big pools usually open up around march and those are fun during the day.
