In Vegas..............

Take a a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon or a Boat Trip on Lake Mead and a visit too the Hoover Dam.

Do not forget a visit to Fremont Street for the outdoor activities and the Laser Show. ITS A MUST.....Things usually kick off at @ 8pm down there and the beers a lot cheaper. Some great music and some great laser shows.

If you have a thrillseeker view on life take yourself down to the Rides on the Tower of the Stratosphere hotel.

If you want to go to a Show there is no show like the Cirque du Soleil show, the O Show, in the Bellagio Hotel. Its a circus show like nothing you have ever seen in your life. It was so good I went back to see it a second time. I would recommend any of their shows in Vegas but that one is superb.

For other night time entertainment you could no worse than try the duelling piano(s) bar at New York, New York or at Harrah's Hotel.

If you like Chinese food ....hmmmm PF Changs restaurant in Planet Hollywood.
If you like Italian Food .......... Carmines in the Forums an Ceasars Palace.
If you want steak there is a great steakhouse in Harrahs Hotel......

I hope that's something to get you started................everything I have mentioned can be googled and there are video clips on YouTube to boot,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Have been everywhere you were! except the trips outside of Vegas. Went to "O" twice and will go back when I am there again in a few months, unreal.

Further advice for a trip there for the OP's honeymoon:
Do your gambling on Fremont street, way cheaper minimum bets.

Get yourself onto a roof top bar for some drinks - The Rio has a good one, Mandalay bay has a good one too.

A trip to the gun range if you are into shooting is unreal too - fully automatic rifles, handguns like glocks, machine guns etc..... I always stop in for a shoot.

Go for an all you can eat buffet once, just to see the size of it and selection, the Carnival Buffet in the Rio isn’t bad.

Take a limo ride down the strip, it’s your honeymoon, so treat yourself.

Eat outside the Paris casino too, Mon Ami Gabi is the place. Food is excellent and it doesn’t have to be too expensive. Sit outside and you face the Bellagio fountains across the street and the Eifel tower behind you, Vegas a ridiculous place - you have to love it!

Stayed in Secrets Riviera Cancun in June on our honeymoon. It is fantastic. Treated like royalty and they cant do enough for you. Great advice all over the trip advisor forums.

Hire a Ferrari in Vegas and cruise down the strip at night with the top down.
Take it out to the desert the next day for a spin.
Not as expensive as you might think.

Definitely do the helicopter to the grand canyon.
