Great ! Thank youSo jealous I’m dying to go! Are you on Facebook? There’s a page called Las Vegas fans uk, it’s brilliant for all different tips. Enjoy!!
We went to Cheesecake Factory on our first night and I literally couldn’t eat a quarter of the portionI go every year, it's so much fun. Got married there when I was pretty young and get to use it as an excuse to go back and enjoy it.
Hotels are a really personal preference,I like the Cosmopolitan over the Bellagio, I've stayed there for the last 4 years in a row, off again in a few months. It's bang on central, next door to the Bellagio, has an excellent players club if you want to gamble, has good food options and is the only hotel on the strip that has rooms with balconies which gives a stunning view in the evening, especially if you are overlooking the Bellagio Fountains. For me, the Bellagio is a little stuffy and I don't think the casino is as good. But you might prefer it, so do your research.
You've had good tips already about where to visit. A nice place to clear your head is Red Rock Canyon, it's about a 30 minute drive from the strip, you can hike, see some wildlife, have a picnic, watch people rock climbing. Hoover Dam is interesting.
I get a bit fed up with the Vegas food, so I do love to stop at Wholefoods which is just at the north of the strip beyond Mandalay Bay and just have a normal sandwich/salad. I prefer to eat at some of the more local restaurants off-strip, look on tripadvisor and there are some really good authentic restaurants, Thai, Mexican. Saying that, you can't beat at least one trip to the Cheesecake Factory at Caesars and Earl of Sandwich in the mall by Planet Hollywood is a really good, quick, cheap eat.
For shopping, I like the Fashion Show Mall, it's got all the stores we like. I tend to do a lot of my Christmas shopping there. When are you going? November time has some really good pre-black friday sales. Make sure you have Uber and Lyft on your phone, the cars are everywhere and are much better than taxis.
I forgot about Joe's! Completely agree, one of the nicest strip restaurants, really nice fresh seafood (crab, yum).For the original poster,if you fancy a nice more up market but still reasonably priced meal,Joes seafood,prime steak and stone crab restaurant was fab. It’s in the forum shops at Cesars.
My other half was desperate to try Gordon Ramsay’s signature dishes but getting a table at Hell’s Kitchen was impossible and it’s extortinate. We ended up in his pub and grill in Cesars and had a lovely meal. There was a tasting month so we got to have the scallops,beef Wellington and sticky toffee pudding for 80 dollars each.
Thank you ! We have booked the Cosmo with a terrace and balcony view ! We are going in October ! There’s so much to cram in but really excitedI go every year, it's so much fun. Got married there when I was pretty young and get to use it as an excuse to go back and enjoy it.

You didn’t miss out at Gordon Ramsey’s. We’ve been to several in London and hated Hell’s Kitchen. Yes the food was good but we had a booking and still had to queue whilst tourists kept coming in to take pictures and there’s a very loud sports bar as part of the dining area. Not what you’d expect want when it’s costing almost £300 with drinks.We went to Cheesecake Factory on our first night and I literally couldn’t eat a quarter of the portionI got them to box it up gave it to a wee homeless lady and she was delighted.
Earl of Sandwich was our new discovery and I would kill for the club sandwich right now. I never thought I’d say it but it is now my fave over a moons over my hammy from Denny’s.

I know a couple of people who have stayed in the Aria and said it was great too.I’ve had my wedding in Vegas and stayed at the MGM Grand, which I loved. I also stayed in the Encore (amazing but pricey), and off strip in a great hotel called the Platinum once ( perfect hotel if you don’t mind staying off strip. You save a ton!) .
The Bellagio rooms are really dated and imho not worth the money. You can still tour the resort and see the fountains without staying anyway. I heard great things about the Aria.
