Las Vegas show/activity recommendations

[r_ciao]

i'm going to Vegas soon for work. no, really.

am thinking that taking in a show will be cheaper than gambling.  anyone have FHE with Cirque du Soleil's Beatles show (Elvis isn't playing on the nights i'm there.)  or recommendations for another show/activity please.

Ciao!

My wife saw the Beatles show and said it was amazing.

Santana was playing the Hard Rock, but looks like he's not gonna be back around until 2011

rent a car & go out to Hoover Dam, get there early & do the hard-hat tour.  (fills up, line gets longer as day goes on)

Beatles!!!!

I have seen other Cirque du Soleil's  and so far this is the best
So ditto to sacduc...oh, I am his wife 

Hoover Dam is cool....a one time good to check out.

I am totally jaded because I go once week a month for business for several years and it's not a big deal and well it"s work and I don"t gamble and like being home and by the ocean?

Have fun 

Where are you staying? Walk around it is amazing to watch people. Are you at a convention or meetings or meeting a specific client. Usually locals can make great recommendations.

You can find great restaurants what type of food are you interested in? Where are you staying and where have you stayed? I actually don't stay on the strip anymore for the most part but I have and do sometimes.

Hookers, just make sure she doesn't give the best $500 hand job in town.

I saw "O" a few years back and it was really good. Its the one with the water. The floor moves up and down so you never know if its 3" deep or 12'.

If you're going to rent a car you might as well go up to valley of fire.

Don't walk from the new strip to the old strip, or vice-versa, alone, and drunk at 4 AM.

Blue Man Group was very enjoyable when the Wife and I were there in 08.
"O" was also impressive. We also enjoyed the Penn and Teller Show.

I'm staying at Mandalay Bay and am there for work and a business conference.  I will have a car too since I have to visit a customer in between the conference meetings and receptions.  Thanks all for the tips.  I'll have to research Hoover Dam and the Valley of Fire.  I think I have my entertainment choices narrowed down to Cirque's Beattles or Blue Man Group.  (Zumanity might be better if I had an attractive companion with me, but I might be flying solo for the show.) Now I just have a find a good deal.

BTW, I have seen Cirque's Mystere and "O" and those are awesome!  FWIW, I saw Mystere first and thought it was better than "O".

I really enjoyed Penn and Teller - even ended up onstage for their last act - great time!
