Hello Las Vegas! A girlfriend and I are taking a little getaway trip to Vegas August 10th - 14th and we would love some feedback on places to visit during our stay. This will be my first time visiting Vegas so I'm super excited to see what Vegas has in store for us! I would love to catch a show or two, so any suggestions on that would be great! Which clubs are high energy and fun? I've heard Vegas has some pretty cool dining venues and some extravagant buffets, what is the best places to dine? Also has anyone visited the green door swingers club? It looks pretty interesting online wondering if it's worth it. Any feed back would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Absinthe.... Must see in my opinion

Absinthe is a hoot!!   There's also a half dozen or so Cirque de Solei shows.  There's almost as many shows in Vegas as hookers!   It's just a matter of your personal preferences.  The Green Door has been discussed on here ... just do a search.  General consensus is that it's "not so great!"     Be sure to check out the Fountains at Bellagio, the Forum Shoppes at Caesar's and the Grand Canal at Venetian.  Also, Fremont Street downtown at night is a must see.   So much to see, eat and do.  Wear comfy shoes......those CFM stilleto's are great from the Bar to your room, but not for roaming around Vegas

+1 for Absinthe. My cheeks were sore from laughing. I also hear it's funning if seen more than once.  

It's a must see! LOL!

In vegas you can do almost anything. If this is a true vacation here are my top 3 spots

Thank you so much for the advice! As for budget, no budget as I'm pretty spoiled! Also me and my girlfriend are getting a rental car so we will definitely be able to explore and move around. I'm so excited for this trip! I'm definitely going to see absinthe, it sounds like a hoot! I was also thinking about doing the helicopter tour to the the canyon, have you ever done that. I also heard about something called a sign graveyard. I believe it's full of old casino signs and what not, that sounds pretty cool. So much to do so little time, I guess there will be no time for sleep lol or very little of it! Thanks everyone for the input I'm so looking forward to exploring all your suggestions.

 Questions:  
 do you have a budget ?  
 are you staying on strip (south MB area, or closer north towards encore) ?  
 will you have a car rental ?  
   
 My first suggestion - rent a car, especially if you are planning on sightseeing. If not -  explore the monorail and use it. Walking up and down the strip in 100 degree weather is Ok fro a day.  
   
 DRINK WATER......  
   
 top shows  
 Jersey boys  
 La reve  
 Also absinthe, cannot comment (this show is on my to do list - but need to find a provider to accompany me)  
   
 Food  
 SW Steakhouse - if dining at night, sit outside on patio  
 Tao - great asian food  
 carson kitchen (downtown) - fried chicken skins  
 Border grille - the CP location  
   
 Shopping  
 Town square - also good for a movie break  
 Outlet shops - the ones close to downtown  
   
 Hotel, walk around  
 Wynn and Encore, just so much fun walking around and people watching  
   
 Bellagio fountains and gardens - free  
   
 Suggestion:  
 I'd look at seeing a Vegas provider, I am sure you can find someone willing to assist you in your travel plans.  
   
 

Absinthe... If you sit on the first row you'll get picked on BAD... The first four rows are considered VIP that includes a small bottle of champagne and entry through the pay phone booth... lol

I would do the neon museum at night,  

Dueling Piano Shows Nightly from 9 PM to 1 AM at Napoleon's at the Paris Hotel always good.
