Yeah its very easy to take a day trip to the surrounding desert. Red Rock Canyon and Death Valley are the two I know off the top of my head

Currently traveling the world for work...with a few extra fiddleybits thrown in to keep it new...it's the cheapest way to go!!! Quote from my friend Chuck, who spent 5 months riding his bicycle all the way around the USA - "Nobody says you have to order an entree in the restaurant of life, you'll only be here once! Order the sampler, try as many as you can before you're full; odds are one (of) the items on this menu does more for you than you ever thought. And if I'm wrong, tell the waiter that his menu sucks, throw the cook aside and invent your own masterpiece. Just pour 'em all in, all your favorite ingredients. With enough imagination, any combination will work -- there are no recipes for the paths still awaiting discovery."

Hard Rock Cafe has a $7.77 gamblers special meal that includes steak and sides, its not advertised so you have to ask. As for on strip hotels the Imperial Palace has the best location and price [$40 on weeknights, $100 on weekends]. With Cirque I'd definitely check ahead of time, they sell out pretty easily, and right now have great discounts on weeknight shows for the summer

Oh, I guess you've tried some of the meals then? Which ones?
I only ate at the midnight breakfast special at the Imperial Palace where it was like a steak, eggs, hashbrowns, and toast for a few bucks ($4 maybe?). Most of those places that have some cheap restaurant way in the back are ok, but I am partial to the buffets at lunch time instead [about twice as much but the food is top notch]. The spice market buffet at Planet Hollywood, the French buffet at Paris, and the World Market buffet at the Rio are all pretty good and pretty reasonable [$14 at lunch time I think]. The only difference between dinner time is they add crab legs and a bit more seafood and charge $8-$10 more. That is the best deal I think you can get. The one problem with some of those deals is those places are so far removed from the strip that it is entirely not worth it to seek out just for a cheap meal. With the exception of Fremont St which is easily reachable from the Duece there is not much outside the main strip that I have tried to do. Well, there is In and Out Burger but you need a car/taxi to do that, sigh. Also if you go to Mon Ami Gabi at Paris right at 4 when they open for the dinner crowd you can get a seat outside looking over the Bellagio fountains pretty easy

I just came across the 10 things to do if you want to get arrested in Vegas 1. Swim in a fountain 2. Tell dumb jokes to the TSA when you're on your way back 3. Use the iPhone card counter app 4. Play VIP and flee 5. Play Three Card Monte on the street 6. Cheating with dealers 7. Drinking and driving 8. Go back into a casino after getting kicked out 9. Prostitution 10.
