NWR - What to do in Vegas

I am taking FI to Vegas for his birthday the week of Memorial Day.

What are the MUST DO activities. Neither of us has ever been to Vegas.

TIA

IMO, the Hoover Dam is worth seeing!

Re: NWR - What to do in Vegas

We went there for our HM. You should see if you can tickets to any shows. I recommend a Cirque Du Soliel show (we saw Zumanity and LOVED it) or seeing Penn and Teller. You can usually get tickets to these the same day or a couple days before. Both those shows were my favorite part of our trip. Just to let you know, The Bellagio has the best breakfast and Alladin and the Stratosphere has the BEST buffets. FM me if you have any other questions about Vegas.

Katrina, you MUST go to see 'O' at the Bellagio. It was the best money we spent while in Vegas! I guarantee that you and FH will love it

'Ka' the show at MGM Grand now is amazing. We also loved the wax museum. Bellagio buffet was best IMO.

Just got back from Vegas last night! We really LOVED Ka - it's a Cirque De Soleil show playing at the MGM... we also rented a convertible for the day and went to Hoovers dam and red rock canyon - a LOT of fun. Foodwise, we LOVED LOVED LOVED all of the restaurants in the Paris, especially the buffet and the boulangerie...

Gamble, see the Bellagio light show, and enjoy the nightlife.

Def check out the Hard Rock. They have the best pool.

Re: NWR - What to do in Vegas

Go to the Top of the World Restaurant for a drink or lunch. dinner is very expensive, (maybe $100 for both of you) if you can afford it great great view!

Top of the Eiffel Tower

Dancing at Tangerine in Treasure Island

All the restaraunts at MGM are amazing

Go to Old School vegas (have to take a cab)

Roller coaster at NY NY

You will just spend like 2 days seeing all the hotels up and down the strip...they are amazing!
Have a blast!

Oh and go to the Voodoo Lounge at the RIO...great view and get the Witch Doctor drink! The RIo also has the best buffet and they have a masquarade show a few times a night that is free and dancers ride around in floats from the ceiling...throwing beads..fun :)
