Derek if I could give you a little advice. I made my first trip to Vegas about 8 years ago. (and have been back 12 times since) On my first trip I was so overwhelmed. There are soooo many things to do both casino related and non casino related. Now when I went my plan was to make it all casino related. I saw every casino on the strip and nearby and of course got chips from all of them.

Now my advice. Prior to getting there set an itinerary and be strict with it. If you are anything like me you will want to do so much and there just isn't enough time in 1 week. You will also come up with additional things that you will want to do once you get there. If you stick to 75% of your list then you will be fine and it will keep you excited to get back. Vegas is the most stressful vacation there is but it is the best time as well. By the end of a week there, I am completely exhausted.
