Srujana,
FUN--I LOVE Vegas, but am not a gambler. My bf and I go several times a year for the food and the shopping.
On the shopping--you shouldn't miss checking out the Forum Shops and the newly developed (and as yet unfinished, but open for business) City Center. There's something about Vegas that emboldens me to walk in to high end/couture stores with a confidence I don't normally have in other cities. I think it's the idea that anyone (no matter what they are wearing or NOT wearing, for that matter) could have tons of money to blow and the sales people act accordingly. I've looked at engagement rings at Harry Winston, tried on dresses at Gucci, fawned over velvet blazers at Tom Ford, etc and never experienced ANY attitude whatsoever. It just makes for fun, no pressure shopping/window shopping with an added element of escapism. Plus, it will be HOT so the malls are a good place to cool off and always have some sort of eye candy.
For food, on our recent trip, we ate dinner at Nobu and Mastro's (I yelped about both) and had INCREDIBLE experiences that didn't necessarily break the bank in the way that Picasso did. That's the other thing I like about Vegas--there's so many restaurants and yet all of them are good. You'd be hard pressed to find an average dining experience at any place, in my opinion.
Finally, I love trotting out more adventurous attire in Vegas. People wear anything and often nothing! Although you'll see a wide range, I love dressing up in a really fun "night out" outfit that might be a bit much/too risque--totally works in Vegas! Am attaching a pic of me in a plunging neckline dress that I'd never have the moxie to wear outside of Vegas!
In any event, enjoy the fab weekend!
