First time...what to do?

This is my first trip to Vegas. I will be traveling with my husband and a few friends. We are all in our early 40%26#39;s but still love to have a good time. We are staying at Harrahs and some at the Golden Nugget.

We will be in Vegas for five nights. I am having a difficult time sorting through all the info to decide on a few ';must dos';.

What show is a must?

What restaurant is a must....we like seafood AND steak?

What sites must be seen?

What bar is good for us?

Anything else?

Thanks so much for your input!

First time...what to do?

Bellagio Fountains. Its free and a must see.

Forum Shops, Ceasar Palace.

Eiffel Tower, Paris Hotel.

Just some sites to see. Enjoy your first time in Vegas.

A must see/do is something you%26#39;ve heard about in Vegas that YOU%26#39;VE always wanted to see or do. Some people will tell you that you MUST go Downtown (I would tell you that) and others will tell you not to bother.

I think going to the top of the Stratosphere at night and looking around is a must do. I think walking the Strip until your feet are killing you checking out all the casinos is a must do.

No show is a ';must';. What are you interested in seeing? Let us know and someone will tell you something in that catagory.

Thanks for the quick responses...

I would like to see Bette Midler%26#39;s show. Any tips on securing tickets? I also would love to see a Cirque show. Other than that I have no other needs/wants. Also friends are staying at the Nugget so we will be downtown for a day or two.

We love to gamble so that is on the list for sure.

I would really love a great dinner with great atmosphere and great food. Like I said we need both steak and seafood choices. I would prefer great pricing too but I am not opposed to paying for quality service and excellent food. Suggestions?

And we would really love to know of a geat bar that has cheap beers, great bar food, good music...and not a too young crowd. Ideas?

And any good ';free'; show (day and night) recommendations are really appreciated.

Thanks again!!!

I think the best way to get Bette tickets is to go directly through Caesars.

A lot of people recommend Triple 7 Brew Pub at Main Street Station (Downtown) for beer and good food.
