Not sure when you were leaving, sorry I have not been on this board in awhile, but a great day trip is Zion Canyon. It is about 2 maybe 2 1/2 hours to Springdale, Utah. It is a very small town, with a wonderful canyon drive and if you have a few hours be sure to hike The Narrows. If you are staying in Vegas the whole time, you probably wont want to press on, but if you are willing to spend a couple of nights out of Vegas, press on to Bryce Canyon. It is well worth the trip. We use Vegas as a jumping off point for Death Valley, Zion, Bryce and the Grand Canyon.

All of the suggestions posted eariler are wondeful, and you will have a great time w/o gambeling. We don't gamble, we are more outdoor people. Always wanted to grab a Cirque show, but always had so much fun playing outside never made it to a show.

Have a great ime.
