    I'd recommend the gun store if you haven't paid for the gun range already. As above Slotzilla is must. Id avoid the pawn stars shop, long queues and the shop is very small (and expensive)

    Go and see Megatron at Hoover Dam. And in the same day, if you've hired a car, you can go see the Red Rock Canyon National park. Nice.

    The heart attack grill is good fun. Google it...it's crazy. Absinthe (it's a show) at Caesars is fantastic. Very crude and funny.

    Best advice I can give is not to listen to too much advice. Vegas is a fluid experience, what's hot today could be boarded up next week. Just go with the flow, don't make too many plans, and don't tie yourself to an itinerary. You won't be able to keep to it anyway.

    Essentially this.

    An itinerary is the last thing you want in Vegas.

    Nightclubs in Vegas are overrated. I'm a girl and I was encouraged by promoters bouncers etc to use men for drinks and a place to sit. Everything inside the clubs is just so clinical, its overcrowded and you'd have better craic in a bar that you didn't pay 25 dollars admission to get into. Go see some shows and get the helicopter into the Grand Canyon. The hotels are an activity in itself, explore them!

    Yeah I'd steer clear of the clubs personally. I love the bars in Vegas though. Rhumbar at Mirage is probably my favourite bar in the World. I'm going back in October and can't wait just to chill out there for a few hours in the sunshine sipping mojitos!

    Theres 3 pools in the Cosmo, I believe. Marquee night club pool, the livelier pool and the quieter pool...it was a fire in the quieter pool, correct? the other 2 pools were unaffected.

    Aye, it's right next to the Marquee one though and it was closed for a day or two as well.
