So far, the critical information that I've garnered from this thread is a) take a cab to Vons upon arrival, and, b) use the $20 trick upon check-in.
Thursday Nov 22nd,
-Arrive approx. 8:30pm. Check in. Piano bar at approx. 10pm.
Friday, Nov 23rd:
10AM-Breakfast
AFT-Girls go Shopping, etc. Guys do something.
7:30 PM-Cirque de Solei Show: “O”
10PM- Fancy Dinner. Nine, Twist?
12AM- Bellagio Fountains. Slot machines
Saturday, Nov 24th:
AM-Aft: Exploring the strip.
7PM: Comedy Show somewhere or UNLV Basketball game.
9PM: Dinner at Stratosphere, or Somewhere else.
10PM: Explore the strip more/Casinos
11PM: Classy club
Sunday, Nov 25th:
10AM: Sunday brunch
12P-4PM: Hoover Dam
5PM: Sports Gambling-guys
7PM: Wax museum: Madame Tussauds
9PM: Restaurant: PRIME , Window seating overlooking Bellagio Fountains. (or something else)

Other ideas:

All this plan is missing is a fanny pack, a stopwatch, an Elvis T-shirt neatly tucked into your Dockers, one of those short bus style tour busses and a nutritious neatly packed lunch.
The best way to do Vegas is a duffel bag with 4 changes of underwear and one change of clothes, about a grand in cash, and no plan whatsoever. The last time I went down, I didn't even book a Hotel. I will however take a near empty suitcase so I can load one up with clothes from the ridiculously cheap outlet mall for the trip back.
There is seriously so much to do there, having a plan is dumb. If you pre-book anything, you are overpaying. Last minute
anything in Vegas is cheaper. I have stayed at The Wynn for $99 a night with a good story, and a $20 handshake.
