Caesars Forum shops and the few shows all free.

Venetian The upper level with it shops, restaurants and the Gondola rides.. all free

Bellagio The Conservatory and the Fountains all free

Mirage, the Volcano and the casino also free

TI other then the Siren show not much to see on the interior, show is free

Wynn the casino and the free lake show, take a walk down to the restaurant the Country Club and check out the huge waterfall on the 18th hole.

MGM just the amazing size and the lions.

NYNY the casino and the NYNY walkway.

PH other then the shops not much else.

Downtown at night if you have time, the light show Free.

take the Free shuttle to the Rio and see the show in the sky and go around sundown. You will have to go to VooDoo lounge and see the view as the Strip lights up and the sunsets.

With only 3 full days- I would definitely stick to te strip. You don't have enough time to see all that the strip has to offer-never mind going off stip.

To me the Must Sees would be:

The Bellagio fountains and conservatory(at night); Eiffel Tower; the ceilings and canals at the Venetian; Mirage volcano; Forum Shop at Caesar's Palace (both a mall and an attraction).

I am not a great fan of the Siren Show and I would not go out of my way to see the Parade in the Sky at the Rio. I think both of them are lame and not worth the effort. But I know others disagree.

I also would go to Carnaval Court at Harrah's at night. If you don't like what you hear- you can always take a few steps into the casino and go hear the Dueling Pianos(after 9PM). Another great place- the Fireside Lounge near the Riviera. It is a cool/unique/retro lounge .

Really- just popping in and out of the various casinos will take almost all of your time.

Thank you all for the info. Higly apreciated.

Since you guys are LV expert I have the following qustions.

I have booked for dinner with my wife at Alize at the Palms. From what I read is a nice restaurant with great strip view although is very expensive too. What do you believe, does it worth it or not? Keep in mind that I have also booked pass for the bar/clubs at same hotel same night since we will be there(Rain, ghost bar, playboy club etc.)

Im no expert....

Yes, it is expensive more so then some, I believe that everyone should at least have one meal here to experience the ambience, food and service, would it be a place I would continue to go back to? Probably not, but thats only my opinion, too many other places to try..

Here's your order

1 day- Ballagio (Fountains, gardens, cholocate waterfalls), Ceasars (outside Gardens, Inside casino/shops), Walk down to the Venitian (walk around the canals and St. Marks Square), Walk back down the street and check out Paris and PH.

2 day- Spend a couple of hours at Freemont Street at night. 3 hours max. See a couple of overhead shows.

3 day- Go to MGM (see the lions), NY NY (walk around the Casino), Exacalaber (just look real fast. Cheesy place), Check the Luxur (fast also), Manalay Bay.

If you have time you can get a taxi to the Silverton and walk around the Bass Pro shop and they have a large aquarium that's free.

That's how I'd do it.
