There's a lot of cool places to go, so I would try & go to see as much as you can. Catch the fountain show on the strip.
The Luxor is SO amazing. They have a Titanic exhibit. I didn't get to see it because it was kinda pricey, but it looks like it'd be cool. Make sure you go to the M&M store & the Coca Cola store. They have LOTS of memorabilia. Some of it is a little over priced, but it's Vegas so it's not exactly shocking.
I would definitely go for a gondola ride at the Venetian if I were you. It's super romantic. :) If you happen to go to the New York, New York, ride their roller coaster because it is so much fun! The design of the hotel is really amazing. If anything, that would be a great place to stay because it's so nice looking. It could be a little costly but since it's on the strip, it's worth it.
Make sure you hit up hotels that are off the strip. The Stratosphere is really nice. If you wanna stay there, they're decently priced (around $25 a night). They have a nice pool area as well. Also, the buffet at The Orleans is really good. So is the buffet at the Rio.
There's something you must do when you're checking in. It's called the $20 trick. Chat up the person at the desk, and when they ask for your credit card or your ID, slip them a $20. Ask if they have any better rooms available that they could possibly upgrade you to. It works about 70-80% of the time, and it's definitely worth it. :) I don't recommend slipping anything higher than a $20 but if you're feeling risky then that's your call.
Definitely take in all the sights and the experience. Take lots of pictures. Vegas is a lot of fun so make sure you do whatever you can! :) [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
