Acitivites to keep non -players occupied in LV
 
I am heading to Vegas in about 1 week with a total of 6 (4Male, 2 Female) people. Only 2 of us are regular heavy players, the rest are going for partying, experiences, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can come up with so as to be able to play for at least a few hours at a time. Keep in mind, one of my companions is my long time girlfriend who will not do much w/o me with her. I have been to Vegas 1 previous time w/o her or anyone else and was able to play a ton.

ship her off to a spa for a day/afternoon. then over to excalibur for "thunder from down under."

or just spend time with your girlfriend before she dumps you for playing too much poker.

Yeah thats a plan that I thought of I just didn't want to throw away $50-$100 to keep HER occupied. I'm gonna need it for the 4 beers I drink at TAO

Have them hang out at the pool for a couple hours during the day.

At what hotel will you stay?

$50 to $100 for a day at a Las Vegas spa? Hah! Try adding a zero. At most of the nice resorts it's $50 just for access to the gym/weight room.

Lots of things, especially when it comes to shopping. Forum Shops, Fashion Show Mall, Desert Passage, and Grand Canal Shoppes can easily keep non players busy for hours.

It seems like you are going to need a wallet stuffed with $100 bills and an awesome credit card to keep her happy.

Aren't there art galleries at the Bellagio and Venetian? That might work.

Nice one. Assuming they are taking a cab, that alone kills 30-45 minutes with the round trip, waiting for cabs, etc.

The pianos, cars, and costumes on display (sometimes all 3 match) are completely out of control.

Plus, there's a chance you get a fridge magnet like this:

Just tell her she was really drunk the whole trip and that she had a blast.

1) Plan not to sleep much and play after your girlfriend turns in for the night.

2) Get the four non-players to plan a night out including a show and nightclub visit afterward. That will kill several hours.

I like the idea of shipping the girls off to Thunder from Down Under. There's a Chippendales show at the Rio, too.

Elton John's "Red Piano" The MRS is already talking about going back to LV. She really enjoyed the Barry Man-a-nose concert on our last trip and wants to go see Elton John.

There are a lot of things to do in Las Vegas that don't involve gambling. I guess I should qualify that statement. I live in a relatively small town and we don't have near the entertainment opportunities provided by a big city so Las Vegas seems like a really big deal to me.

Nothing can keep them occupied. Las Vegas is boring. There is literally nothing to do. At all.

Red Rock has some nice scenery.

What, you don't like male strippers? It's not like it's Puppetry of the Penis (a show which is not for the squeamish - you may be relieved to hear they don't have any upcoming dates in Vegas).

But don't look for any dam bait there, they don't sell it.

Awesome way to spend a few hours, for a couple of bucks.

Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas

It's located about 45 minutes away.

Versace, Tod's, Kors, Coach, Burberry, BCBG, Nieman Marcus

If she/they like shopping, then you'll have a good bit of time on your hands if they make the trip.

Really. If you can't find something to do in Vegas, there's something askew.
