Anyone been there recently? Any good shopping deals, or are they high prices to get tourists?
Best places to gamble? Best places to eat? How far is the Grand Canyon, a daytrip?

I just came back, I watched the Sens-Flames game at the bar across from the Mystere Theatre in Treasure Island...
Go to the Premium Outlets just North of the Strip for shopping (take the Deuce and transfer to Bus #108 at the Denny's past the Stratosphere) the deals are crazy there, we bought half the Puma store for $300. Don't bother with the other outlet mall in the South if you like big brand names, most of them are in the North one. There's also the Fashion Show mall if you want to feel like you're just shopping at a fancier version of Southcentre. And then there's the Wynn & Encore Esplanade, plus the Forum Shops at Caesars if you got cash to burn.
Gambling: check out the Encore (new addition to Wynn), get a Red Card and you'll get $10 free credit for giving your email. Play the slots, they're pretty loose there, I think it's because they just opened last week...
Eat: Try SeaBlue by Michael Mina at the MGM, I thought it was pretty decent, the seafood paella is awesome. They have a 3-course menu for $59. If you're on a budget there's always $3 for a hotdog and a beer at Bill's (former Barbary Coast). There's something for everyone in Vegas...I would avoid the Buffets if you don't like 2 hour lineups with screaming kids though.
