We are going to Vegas for an extended weekend - we are not into the shows type of thing, but wanted to know what else is a must see. We will also be on foot - not renting a car so has to be within reasonable walking distance of our hotel which is not on the main strip, but a block or so off.

1. Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay
2. Take a ride on the Big Shot at the Stratosphere.
3. Roller coaster at NY NY

The Heineken Light set a record for the longest lasting beer in a Rice fridge. It was my pleasure having you drink it all. :lol:

As stated the Bellagio water show is a must see, but go up in the eiffel tower at night and watch it from there.

Absolutely

David also mentioned some really big toy story, so we will probably got check it out.

:shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you like coasters, then you need to get a rental or whatever it takes and go to Buffalo Bills and hit the Desperado at 209', 80+ mph, and almost 4 G's.!

I grew up in LV during the late sixties. Don't waste your money on the strip or "glitter gulch". Rent a car and drive a couple hours in any direction to the most interesting and varied topography on the the globe. Take a picnic with you and go to Lake Mead/ Hoover Dam, or go north from there to Valley of Fires S.P. or go northwest to Mt. Charleston, or Southwest to Sandy Valley and on to Death Valley and circle around.
Anyone can just eat, drink and gamble, or watch cookie cutter shows in LV.
Challenge the blind.. Ay?

Scotty's Castle is a cool place.
