TMJ:
I am planning to book a trip to Vegas for hubby's birthday, in early October. He has never been, other than to drive through, I was there 6 years ago. I have been told lots of changes. Can any one give me tips, ideas, before booking? Also, we will not be renting a car, so are prepared for lots of walking. THanks in advance.

TMJ,

Have a great time. Vegas is one of my favorite places to go for hubby and I to have a long weekend without the kids! One reason I love it so much is that anything goes, the person next to you can be in a full gown and the next person in ripped jeans.
I recommend you stay on the strip, either MGM corner or Caesars/Bellagio corner are very nice. They also have the tram that will take you from one end to the other. You can look for show tickets in advance. Shows are much more reasonable in price compared to large forums here in NYC which I am close to.

Tons of great restaurants. We have stayed at several hotels there. PM me if I can anwser any questions for you.

Two very good message boards on Vegas.  Also, make sure you look at the deals section of those boards as putting in a special code will typically save you a couple bucks on your trip or get you a free upgrade on your room.

I was in vegas 6 years ago (Stayed at Mandalay bay...loved it).  

One of the best things we did was take a helicopter tour over the Hoover damn and into the Grand Canyon. We Landed in the canyon, and had a nice picnic lunch.  It was great. Espically if you need a break from the casino's.

We did the helicopter tour with Papylion helicopter.  The guides were wonderful and I would recomend them. The airport was at the end of the strip, almost across the street from Manadaly Bay (if I remember correctly).

If you like walking, then you'll love the strip.  It's a deceptively long walk from one end to the other.  
The hotels are so huge they look close but it's a couple miles from one end to the other.  

A hotel in the middle of the strip might be a good idea- that way you can be relatively close whichever way you want to go.
