Default Leaving for Vegas

Any of you ever been?
I leave tomorrow and come back next Friday night.
I wonder how bad the air line security is going to be?
Going with my parents and girlfriend.
I am 25 she is 27 and they are 50+ so what are some cool things to do there besides get drunk and gamble?

Been there several times and always go for the SEMA show. Check out as many shows as you can such as "O" at the Bellagio or LaFemme at MGM Grand. Mystere at Treasure Island if I remeber right. A lot of cool adult stuff to do for sure.

I`ve been there many times w/family and 4times for the April NHRA race w/friends. There are alot of great shows every night,theres a Pirate show in the middle of the Strip every night. Also they have several good roller coasters the "Big Shot" on top of the Stratospher is one of the biggest adrenalin rushes you`ll ever get. Ceasars Palace has the best buffet you`ve ever had, the Palms buffet is real good too. Some good topless + nude clubs, well maybe the rest of your group wouldn`t like those. Very fun place even if you dont gamble.

i went on all the rides at the Stratos and they all rock. dont miss them. Also, for good food and not just the buffets (i was there 5 days and never went to one) try little buddhas, Rain, and definitely go to the Voo Doo Lounge for dinner. its prob 60 a person to eat and they have an awesome outdoor bar upstairs. Also check out the light show thats located down town in the older section. Try to catch the Nascar cafe and the M&Ms factory place. Dont remember the name but there was one place that had a nasty indoor go cart track. Pretty serious with timed laps and somewhat modded carts. Word is they are fast enough they make you wear a helmet. im not sure i just saw the listing.

Pics defentially.
I have 2 nice digital camara's and a nice BRAND NEW Video recorder. If I come back with no pics I am just a *** hole.
My parents have been last year so they know some things. I know on Tuesday we are taking a trip over the grand canyan in a chopper.
Should be awsome as I have never seen anything like that before and have never even riden in a chopper before.
Ceaser's Palace buffet is defentially gonna happen at least once.
I am not that overweight 5'10-5'11 area and around 195 but damn can I eat. I work in a resturant and a normal night for me is anywhere between a 16 oz steak potato and salad to a chicken sandwitch and 40 wings. All depends on what I ate earlier.
Thanks for all the advice and Zambolx the Ranch is too damn expensive for me.
I watch it last night on HBO and I am too cheep.
I would have to do like 3 head swaps for 1 hour of fun.
**** That.
Again thanks for the input and I will post up what we did with some pics next week.
