If you can, get to the Venetian. The shopping mall is like a Canaletto painting in three dimensions. (I want to go back when I have a bunch of Italians and take pictures.)
We liked the Star Trek Experience, but were terribly disappointed by the Raktajino at Quark's. (A Klingon coffee drink is NOT a cute little frozen thing with a tiny straw. It's served HOT, and the base should be espresso that's somewhere past Canton-of-Altavia and about up to coup d'etat.)
If you're in a King Tut mood, it's worth it to drop in to the Luxor. Very impressive monumental architecture, and they have a full size replica of Tutankhamen's tomb, which would be particularly interesting to see in conjunction with the exhibit currently at the LACMA.
Under no circumstances should you go to the Excalibur. It will only depress you.
The Mirage has the best sour cream herring I've ever had & the best kosher Sunday buffet in general. We really liked the buffet at the Belagio, too, and the gambling there was more fun than we expected it to be.
We liked the shopping at New York, New York and Paris. We didn't like Ceasar's at all (it really is your father's casino), and Ceasar's Magical Empire is something of a disappointment if you're used to the Magic Castle. (After that, I decided that the best course in pursuing magic shows would be to go to one of the magic shops--there are lots, in Ceasar's and the MGM Grand and who knows where else--and ask the help where the good close-up is this week.)
In any case, don't let yourself be bored. There's plenty of stuff for different interests. Have a good trip!
