Vegas booked for November. Ideas please.
Discussion
I have been to Vegas every year for 17 years, only for a max of 3 days before driving on. Walk up and down a bit, eat at mon ami gabi at Paris, and olives . Play wheel of fortune only, otherwise just give your cash at the door. Great for a few days and I have no plans to do Vegas this trip from new York to LA, I probably will!

Well each to their own, we are going for 14 days and intend to gamble, eat, drink and party like a mother fecker!DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$ ON CRIS ANGEL'S SHOW.
Good shoes is good advice! The distances between places appear shorter because everything is sooo huge.
The tipping will do your head in...trust me....
Dueling Pianos at New York, New York was a great night out.
Grand Canyon a must - we did it by heli and it was jaw dropping.
The hotel buffets can be good but don't go cheap - Circus Circus buffet for example was horrendous.
Hire a limo for an hour at night - HAS to be done!
Too old for clubs!

14 Days 
That's a looong time to be in Vegas.
I don't think I'd make it out alive!
I believe that if your going something then kick the arse out of it! And it is good training for the New Year. Went for 10 days last year and seeing as the nice man at the hotel is going to give me 5 nights free I thought what the hell! That's a looong time to be in Vegas.
I don't think I'd make it out alive!
It does make me wonder how much I spent last time though.
14 days is do-able as long as you can pace yourself regarding partying, gambling, etc.
Do plenty of research before you go and you can find more than enough to fill the time. ( yelp.com etc.)
This includes practicing gambling if that's something you plan on doing. ( wizardofodds.com )
Downtown has been gentrified significantly in the past couple of years (for good or ill) so worth visiting for reasons other than cheaper table limits.
If you have a car there's some good landscapes and driving roads out at the various national parks nearby.
Not sure what the weather will be like in November but I went in October and they get excited when it rains as the infrastructure can't cope and there's floods and drownings galore it there's anything more than a light shower by British standards.

Well the research is kind of the point of this thread. Gambling will be done but I set a daily limit and stick to it (I have been before).Do plenty of research before you go and you can find more than enough to fill the time. ( yelp.com etc.)

It rained last August when we were there so that doesn't worry me, I am English at the end of the day.
We are going to rent a car for a few days so the country side will get explored and I dare say another dam trip maybe in order.

I was just thinking that. I've only ever managed four days before.That's a looong time to be in Vegas.

I'm going next April though for eight days but will be looking forward to heading out to Newport Beach afterwards.
