Stuff that I've done in Vegas that I found fun to do:
- Taking photographs (both digitally and on real film). Lots of photographs. hundreds of photographs. (if you're into photography).
- Videotaping Vegas for my folks back home who have never been there and woudln't believe it if they did.
- Doing the Fremont street experience (it's free!). Decent shows and a great place to peoplewatch. Many different faces.
- Video game arcade underneath the giant coca-cola bottle (What the hell is that place called again??). Cool video games, no gambling. I think they have a climbing wall, too.
- Walking. Yeah, it doesn't sound like much fun, but it can be. Tyger (my fiance) and I last year walked from the AP to the strip down Harmon, down to the Excalibur, then back UP all the way to Fremont street. Completely safe? No. Long walk? Hell yeah! (8 to 10 miles, we figured) Fun? Hell yeah... You really get a feel for the place (both the good and the bad) by doing so.
- "Window Shopping" at all of the places you couldn't possibly afford.
- FAO Schwarz at Caesar's Palace. Tyger and I spent hours playing around in there. *grin*
Stuff that I want to do:
- Fly away. Seriously, everyone I've talked to that's done it has had a blast. Looks like a great time!
- Adventuredome theme park (Circus Circus). If you can put up with all of the kids
- Fine art and gardens at the Bellagio
- Car museum at the Imperial Palace
- Helicopter rides
- Stratosphere
Tons of other stuff to do both commercial and non-commercial in nature. Even riding the buses around town can be a very interesting experience.
Oh, and if you're a meat eater and have about 50 bucks to drop, considering eating at the Steak House in Circus Circus. First time I was there I was rather incredulous, but once stepping inside I was really impressed. Plus, they fed a group of 12 geeks in t-shirts and jeans with 4-star service and didn't bat an eye. Also, great pictures of bulls with hug balls hanging on the wall. Can't beat that.
When in doubt, pick up a Frommer's or Fodor's tourbook. I picked up a few and found some other interesting tidbits and things to do.
