Unless you like that historical kind of stuff, I'd stay away from Hoover Dam because #1 it's boring and #2 it's just too hot out there at this time of year.

I usually go to Vegas twice a year (since it's the 9th Hawaiian island) and the frequent highlight of my trip isn't the casinos, but the Belz Outlet Mall. The clothes in Esprit are so inexpensive that I could spend an entire day just shopping around for the goods!

I've also enjoyed going through the Coca Cola Factory and M&M World. Riding the rollercoaster at the New York New York's fun too.

I get kicks from watching the water show at the Bellagio. I think they do it every 45 minutes.

If you have the time and $$$, I'd suggest seeing one of the shows. The last time I went I saw one of the Cirque du Soleil shows, and, though it was pricey, it was a fabulous show!

Before you leave your home, try to check out who's playing and where in Vegas. Usually they have big name performers that might be in town when you're there. I've been to the Billboard and Blockbuster Awards as well as an NSYNC concert at the MGM Grand Arena.

Have fun!
