What kind of things do you like to do? There are many nice restaurants, extravagant clubs, lovely pools, good shows, a few decent attractions and plenty of shopping.
I would suggest you guys go eat at Rosemary's... it's off the strip but during lunch it's like $25 for a nice 3-course meal.
Also, where are you staying? Unless you're driving or taking taxis everywhere I find it's best to concentrate on the area around you... because most likely you'll be back and can concentrate on another area next time.

OMG ... Treasure Island is right across from the FASHION MALL! Walk right over and it's right there. A great three story (or more) mall that has tons of stores in it.
I would also suggest:
- MGM
- Circus Circus (and theme park)
- Aladdin
- Paris (for food)
- Mandalay Bay
- Hard Rock (for rehab)
It'll be extremely hot ... it's a dry hot, too ... so bring lots of sunscreen and water. Avoid taking the CAT (public bus system) and don't stray from the strip around night time, it's not a great area. I don't really have anything else to suggest, lol.

I love the FASHION MALL. My sister and I go to Vegas every year. She lives in Kansas City and I in Nashville so we time our flights to meet there about the same time. She and her husband gl at least twice a year but my hubby hates it. But this is just our sister trip so no guys or kids. We have tons of fun shopping and just everything.And Vegas is a place that people watching is at it's best. Hope you guys have lots of fun.

Wynn Buffet or Bellagio Buffet -- my faves
If you're into clubbing, you can get free ladies passes from them if you go to the hotel during the day and ask. Sometimes they even pass them out randomly on the strip. I've only been to Tao and Lavo but they were both fun!!
Take pictures outside the beautiful hotels!! Vegas is like a second home to me. I love it there.
Have fun!

I went at the beginning of June, and stayed at the Mirage (which was the perfect location, might I add...literally right out the door are the Forum Shops--MAC Pro!! It was perfect)
Due to location, my must sees were Ceaser's Palace, Bellagio (at night, of course), Treasure Island-the Sirens show outside at night, the Venetian, etc. If I'm not mistaken, the Wynn still gives you $10 to gamble when you get the card from their casino, which is sweet.
I highly recommend getting a bus pass on days/nights you want to hop all over the Strip. The buses are called "Deuces" (cuz they're 2 levels). They're new, nice and hella convenient. Everything looks close together in Vegas, but it's deceiving how far you have to walk at times. Also, the buses take you to downtown as well, which is fun.
Yep, previous comments were right about the VIP passes. During the daytime, you will come across many opportunities for free VIP club passes. Just like the call girl cards, they are literally everywhere, lol. My bf and I used passes at the Beatles LOVE club at the Mirage one night.
A must see for me was the Palms. We took a shuttle over there one afternoon. I had to see all the Playboy stuff, lol. It was a gorgeous hotel though. I would have absolutely loved to go back at night just to go to the club Rain and to go to the Voodoo Lounge, which didn't open til after 7 pm.
I saw 2 shows--Blue Man Group and Criss Angel's Believe. Loved them both. Blue Man Group was crazy cool. I was surprised by how funny they were, I mean, I thought they just banged on stuff, haha. Great show and affordable, especially compared to Cirque du Soleil's "O" which I would have loved to see. I would recommend Criss Angel if you are fans of him and his show Mindfreak.
Ok...this was hella long. My bad. Hope that helps spark some ideas.

Cosmetics Company Store at Shopping Malls in Nevada Store Locations
Vegas & Prime, NV. Prime is about 30-40 mins away from the strip (it shares with the Prime Valley Casino & Resort and it's at the border of California and Nevada). But I think the Vegas CCO is the one that has great inventory.

There is only one CCO that I know of? Where is the other?
Nevermind, I missed the other person's post who asked
and yes, the Premium Outlets here in Vegas CCO has a great inventory- at any given time they have at least 15-20 different shadows, tons of lippies, and about 10-15 pigments...plus all the other stuff, paints, pencils, brushes, etc.
its dangerous, and they stock shipment more often than any CCO Ive ever been to.

Also, check out www.Yelp.com for places to see, things to do, resturants, etc. Consumers (like us) rate & review businesses. I live and breathe Yelp. Plus you can check if there's any events or big club events going on in Vegas.

Ok the Premium Outlets in Vegas CCO is the one I've beem to. It's the best one I've ever been to also. I got a ton of stuff there last year. My sister uses Clinique but she's not a product junkie like I am. But she knows I have to hit it up.

Just touring the hotels on the strip alone will give you a lot of amusement. I highly recommend checking out the Bellagio. They have these beautiful custom glass sculptures done by Chihuly covering the ceiling. They also have a botanical conservatory with shows they change out quite often. They each have a theme - one time I went it was butterflies, so there was a greenhouse in the middle with live butterflies. It was so pretty! There is also a giant fountain out front where they have shows set to lights and music. Try to stand on the bridge out front and check that out.
If you have the the time and money (because unfortunately Vegas shows are kinda $$), I recommend also a Cirque show. I saw O with my mom, and it was great!
And of course, the MAC outlets they talked about above Have fun!!!!!!
