Ok- need Vegas input!

I am going there for my anniversary in 2 weeks. Any recommendations for me? Shows, restaurants, sightseeing- whatever!

We have never been there.

That looks scary! lol

I like smooth roller coasters, not the rickety shaky ones.

You MUST see 'O' the Cirque du Soleil show at the Bellagio. It's worth every penny. For restaurants, the Prime at Bellagio was very good. If you go to New York, New York definitely stop by Gonzalez y Gonzalez and get a foot tall margarita

ETA: if you feel like getting away from the Strip, rent a convertible and head out to Red Rock, a canyon-type thing that's about 30-40 minutes away

The first climb is insane .. but so beautiful if you go near sunset .. over your right shoulder would be a gorgeous view .. and you get a good, long look as you climb, and climb, and climb .. other than that .. basically all I remember is that it was FUN!

We went to see Rita Rudner, she is very funny. Makes alot of jokes about marriage, relationships, etc...

I recommend the Paris buffet and the Bellagio Buffet. We went to a steak house in the Venetian but I forgot the name, Ill have to look it up and we went to the Hoover Dam, that was ok but I hear the Grand Canyon tour is amazing.

Definetly go to Canyon Ranch Spa Club at The Venetian if you want to do a little relaxing. Great spa. And with all the walking you'll be doing, your legs will thank you for a massage!
Try to see 'O', but if you can't, 'Mystere' at Treasure Island is also a Cirque de Soleil show & also terrific.
We went to 'AJ's Steakhouse' at Hard Rock & saw a few celebrities, so check out the Hard Rock for a young, fun crowd, and possible celeb sighting!
What I loved was we went to the top of the Eifel Tower at Paris after the sun went down, then watched the Bellaggio fointain show from the top of the Tower! I would highly recommend that!
Have Fun!

If you like seafood, The Rio has THE BEST seafood buffet. It costs about $30 per person but it is well worth it. THe bouncy thing on top of the Stratosphere is a lot of fun too, if you are an adrenaline junky. I love the margaritas and food at a place called Ricardo's in the MGM.
The boat ride at night at the Venetian. I have been on both the inside one and outside one and the one outside at night it so much more romantic. Oh there is a Mexican restaurant on the canal inside the Venetian also that has great food.

Have fun!!!

I'm not sure where you're staying, but if you're a guest at Bellagio, they usually reserve 'O' tickets for their guests and they're very good seats. I think we paid $125 each and were less than 20 rows from the stage. Close enough to see everything but far away enough not to get splashed with water.
