I beg to differ!!! What about the The Pinball Hall of Fame, with Gamer's 
Paradise (retro video game store) right next door!?! Easy to find and not 
too far off the strip either!

Where are you staying in Vegas, Nick?

If you're a fan of meat, check out Texas de Brazil. And the best shopping 
outlets are on the southern end of the strip, E Warm Springs Road.

Red Rock Canyon is only 45 mins from the strip, and well worth the visit. 
Likewise Valley Of Fire State Park is only 1hr drive away as well. And in 
December you can drive up to (IIRC) Mt Charlston and do tobogganing - again 
just over an hour's drive.

FTR I spent 12 weeks in Vegas a few years ago.
