Every time I'm in Vegas, I swear I would do the following:
-Hit the jackpot
-Ride the NYNY roller coaster
-Ride the Eiffel Tower to the top
I've only done 1 of the 3. It's a start!
It' kind of expensive, even with the BOGO 1/2 deal (which is only applicable to the day time), but when you get to the top, you'll forget you're on the tallest (and most money earning outside of gambling) tourist trap on the strip.
I know it's hot at the top, but stay until the Bellagio fountains come on. The view is extraordinary.
