Since I almost live in Livge in Vegas, let me see if I can help.
Do you play Poker? The Excalibur has proabably the softest low limit poker games in Vegas. The casino itself is a little run down at this point to be honest, but you probably got a good deal on the room.
The shows at the Excalibur didn't do much for me, but you might be into them. See Penn and Teller at the Rio if you can afford it. I was comped, I think the tickets are like $90 a peice. Well worth it, it's funny and amazing.
If you don't play poker, play at the Bellagio. It's by far the nicest layout, and more importantly, quiet. The tables are well away from any machines and you won't go nuts feeling like you're inside a pinball machine while playing Blackjack or whatever.
Rise the new coaster on the top of the Stratosphere that shoots you out over the Vegas skyline, it's worth it.
Freemont Street is fun if you've never been, or if you care about things like 100X Odss on craps.
Do not, I repeat, Do not bother with New York New York unless you're into massively crowded, poorly laid out places with little to offer.
See the water show at the Bellagio, it's free and pretty cool. It's amazing how high the water gets up in the air.
The Luxor is a waste of time at this point, even though you're essentially attached to it, there's nothing there.
The Venitian is a little too tacky for me, which is saying a lot for Vegas. The Golden Nugget down on Freemont Street has an actual giant Goldenn Nugget that's neat to see and probably the most frightenening interior decorating job in history.
Cesars is really quite over and unless you're looking for 70 year old women playing slot machines I wouldn't bother with it.
The Palms is off the strip a little, but has a good young crowd of tourists looking to get laid, if that's your thing.
The IHOP (near the Stratoshpere) sucks. If you can't get comped for food, the Korean BBQ places on the strip mini-malls are ussually actually very good. There is, of course, $4.99 prime rib everywhere and $2 steak and eggs at places lookingt for the morning crowd.
This is critical, there is a 24 hour Starbucks at the Alladin.
The lions at the MGM are cool to see. They're in a big plexi room in the middle of the casino and just wander around.
Let's see, what else? There's about 45,000 Cirque de' Soliel shows at various places. I was compend for the on at the Bellagio which is in a giant pool. It was ok, but really not my thing. My wife liked it a lot.
There's about 900 golf courses if you're into that sort of thing, but they're not cheap if you're not comped.
There's allways about 90 mexican guys handing out fliers for hookers on the Strip. Take some it'll make them happy.
I don't know, tell me what you play and I'll tell you the best places I think there are to play it.
Whatever you don't pump money into machines. The odds are horrible, the atmosphere is horrible. It's a sucker bet all around.
