Although most of the party life happens after the sun goes down, you will get a good appreciation of life's ups and downs if you take a walk along The Strip during the day. There is little shade (apart from inside shops) but there's plenty to see. The central strip from The Venetian to MGM Grand will probably take about 40 minutes to walk, but there's a lot of distractions along the way. I enjoyed the shopping - particularly in the Miracle Mile, Caesar's Palace Forum and Venetian shops. The crowds are easy to navigate during the day but in the weekends and at night it's a lot busier.
