No need to rent a car, save your money for gambling.
Well unless you are planning a "road trip" outside of the city.
First timers should definitely stay on the Strip.... The best hotel for what you are looking for is The Mirage....They have the most shaded area of any hotel in Vegas....& based on my visits over the years during the summer months it is not even close....Also the Mirage is centrally located on the strip....
After checking in the first thing you & wife do is get player's club cards which is good for all MGM properties.... Which is about 5 hotels on the strip....Mirage, MGM Grand, Aria, Bellagio, & Mandalay Bay....
Once you & wife get the players club card, put the card into any slot machine & play about $10-$20....You will start getting getting e-mails with great offers to the above hotels....
Except for an occasional football bet, I only play video poker & I get great deals from these hotels....
Imo first timers shouldn't stay at any of the places downtown, but a visit downtown in the evening is a must....
Enjoy!
Do not go to the Grand Canyon. If u must go, go on a tour bus. Thank me later; it?s cheap and convenient and most importantly, stress free. I would say no to car rental Bc u have to pay to park everywhere now :facepalm:
The Hoover Dam is a much better out of city tour. Book online a few days before Bc the internal big tour of the dam will sellout. Walking over the Dam bridge will also be scorching hot. I don?t recommend ever leaving the city on your first trip u less it?s a childhood dream to go or something. The Dam tour imho is far more fun and interesting than the GC. Even my first GC trip I was momentarily overwhelmed but then immediately ready to leave.
If you go to the Grand Canyon, for the love of Pete, do NOT do the west rim and the ?Skywalk?! Please trust me; it blows compared to the South rim. Don?t be suckered in to going Bc it is closer. The South rim is the classic Canyon you have seen from movies and tv shows (The Brady Bunch). If you have already been, please don?t go in June. It?s like walking around on a cooking hot plate. Pure misery (been there, done that).
Please download Lyft on your phone and then refer your wife to Lyft. U will both get multiple $5 off fares. Do not get in a cab unless it?s for pure convenience.
Do not get on a shuttle from the airport. Use Lyft.
I think it?s bad advice for people to tell u to stay on the strip. Downtown is much cheaper, has better gambling, and it is far more fun. It took me living there to finally figure that out.
I second the Westgate Sportsbook suggestion. Ride the monorail there and all over the east side of the strip too as much as possible. It?s cheap and convenient.

Bender was a fan of the old IP and the dry erase board with all the sports betting lines. That was very cool. 65 is not a fan of the Linq for gambling or the renovated rooms; it?s lipstick on a pig.
Sorry, disagree with you Clint....
Blitz said his wife doesn't gamble & likes the pool....
Imo, she wouldn't like staying downtown....
The Mirage pool has the most shade & is the perfect pool to stay at....Plus The Mirage is not far from the Forum Shops at Caesars & the woman love that place....
Make the wife happy & Blitz will be able to gamble with a clear head....
They should go downtown for an evening, but should stay on the Strip....

This is really good advice. Downtown for an evening but stay on the strip. Never stayed at The Mirage but it?s def in the heart of the action and shouldn?t be too expensive but a nice hotel.
