Default First Vegas Trip...Suggestions?

I'm going to Vegas in a couple of weeks for work-related stuff, and it'll be my first time there. Getting in on the night of the 16th, leaving on the afternoon of the 20th, so I'll have four nights and four days to see plenty and do plenty.

I'll be staying at the Wynn, and from all I've heard, and from what I saw of my room (which I don't intend to be in too much) and of the hotel, it seems to be a pretty nice place.

I'm not a high roller or anything close to it, more of a budget-conscious traveler (I'll certainly have a nice amount of extra funds for the trip though, so I won't be carrying around sacks of pennies or anything), but I'm looking to have a good time at a decent-ish price.

Where should I absolutely go while I'm there? Restaurants, casinos, sportsbooks, clubs, sights, you name it. Suggestions are much appreciated.

I like the sportsbook at MGM grand or casers palace. Course me and a bunch of friends go down for March Madness and get drunk and lose a couple grand on games good times. Usually we spend alot of time down in old town hitting casinos like the Golden Nugget and Binyons. Have a great trip i'm sure you will get alot of responses on this. God i love Vegas Bellagio, Rio, Harrahs so many good casinos. Like going to Margaritaville also.

The Wynn sportsbook is ok. I recommend based on where you are at, checking out The Hilton. It is a bit of a drive or you can take the tram, but it is truely the best sportsbook anywhere IMO. Also the Venetian isn't bad. Mirage and Bellagio are worth checking out.

In terms of food, check out Lotus of Siam if you have a car. I also agree on trying Fat Burger; there is one on the strip between Planet Hollywood and MGM Grand.

the Wynn is pretty nice, if you like 5 star hotels. Have heard the buffet sucks now.
