Living where I live now, Vegas is a potential day trip. About 7 hours by car. I've got the lowdown from a bunch of people here on where to go and what to see while spending the least amount of scratch possible.
The wife doesn't know it yet, but we're taking a 4 day sojurn there at the end of March for our 25th Anniversary. It'll be my first time in Vegas and I'm getting psyched for it.

Congrats on the upcoming annivesary!
Mama Roach and i made the same trip for our 25th. Vegas is great, even if you're like us and don't gamble. During our quick trip i lost $23. i put $20 on the Browns to win the Superbowl and $3 in a slot machine.
John G mentioned a roller coaster ride. i didn't do that, but we went up that Eiffel Tower and that gave me the creeps.
Have fun.

Just saw this on Cnn
Vegas is slashing prices, might be time to recheck your deal.

Ride the coaster at the top of the Stratosphere.

It really depends on how much you want to spend. There are a ton of great courses. The courses at Paiute are phenomenal, but it can get really cold and windy out there and if it's like that it's miserable. TPC Las Vegas (used to be called Canyons) is probably still my favorite course out there. I enjoyed Badlands as well. There are some discount sites out there that might be able to get you on last minute at a great course without having to drop a small fortune as well.
I've played probably 20 or so of the courses in Vegas and haven't been disappointed in one yet. Some are definitely better than others but they're all very good.
The weather is a little shaky in SoCal this week so hopefully it stays away from Vegas for you this weekend.

Thanks to all; Mrs Lister and I are here in sunny; chilly Vegas!
Really horrid flight in last night; there was a medical emergency aboard and it was simply horrid...that said; however, we are here!!!
Mrs Lister and I are heading out to NY NY and to just walk around this morning to check out the sites...even though it is 50 I still may get in a round. My better half wants to play cards
My one buddy told me of this place called The Gun Store where I can do some really cool target shooting
Again, thanks to all and I will chat with you when I stumble back in

Although I can't tell you much about the golfing I can tell you about Vegas Casinos and attractions.
Buffet?...I have to agree...the RIO has the BEST!
DO NOT RENT A CAR unless you want to deal with all the Vegas Traffic and one way streets! The have a million Taxi's and a light rail system that runs up and down the strip
Go to as many Casinos as you can and take tons of pictures! You will be amazed at the lavish decors in each and every one of them.
Go to the shops at Ceasers...If anything but to see where rich people shop and look at $80k watches...
DOWNTOWN AT NIGHT IS A MUST SEE!....Go down to Freemont St! They have a great light show!
See a topless show! ....They aren't sleazy and they are what made the "vegas showgirl" famous!
Go to MGM and see the Lions
Ride the Coaster at New York, New York
Go to the top of the Stratosphere..
Go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris
Go for a Gondola ride at the Venetian
Watch the Carnivale show at the RIO
watch the Mirage Volcano
Watch the Bellagio fountain show
Watch the Pirate show at Treasure Island
All of these things are free!.....Have fun and enjoy!

I like to collect all the business cards people hand out at night.
