I've seen some of the "professional" video pokers player, and it is a sight to see. They are like savant's, staring at the screens, fingers moving at the speed of sound, and the cards just flying across the screens. Amazing really. I can't focus on the cards that fast let alone make the decisions.
I agree with Pook above, take in any one of the Cirque de Soleil shows, worth every cent. I have done Fly-away. You need some basic athleticsm, but it is really fun. Plan on spending a half day and dropping some money. But a novel adventure.
Even if you don't gamble, go and watch the high rollers at Caesar's Palace. Watching them gamble 100 to 250,000 per hand is amazing just for the spectacle of it all.
Touristy, but the "Downtown Experience" is worth doing, even if just to say you've seen it. Changes often and fun with a little beer on board.
Brewery at Monte Carlo has good beer and good food at reasonable prices.
The Pink Lady bar in the Hard Rock Hotel for the best margaritas on the planet. Great people watching spot too.
The sing a long bar in the N.Y. N.Y. hotel is a hoot and open very late.
Enjoy.
