Rides are always a big hit. There are roller coasters at the New York, New York, Circus Circus, at the _speed_ roller coaster at the Nascar Cafe at the Sahara. The top of the Stratosphere has a number of really cool rides if it_s not too windy. Big Shot is one of the coolest things I have ever ridden!

Speaking of Nascar... that cafe at the Sahara is pretty darn cool. The cyber speedway would be a heck a lot of fun if you had some friends that were into it!

Do you like Star Trek? (Most people don_t), but if you fall into the catagory of sci-fi fan who does, the Las Vegas Hilton is an easy place to burn a few hours with Star Trek Experience...

All of these exhibits and shows can _add up_, so if money is a big factor, then maybe _free_ stuff to see would be better. Even though you can blow through cash pretty easily in Vegas, they are also the king of free things to see. From the Fountains at the Bellagio to the Freemont Street Experience... take your pick. Here is a pretty comprehensive list. Not everying is appopriate for under 21 and not everything is at night, but there is alot to choose from...

And, of course, FOOD! As you travel the city looking at things, keep your eyes peeled for low priced Buffets and Meal Deals. Prime Rib dinners are a personal favorite of mine! The buffet at Harrah_s is well worth it too. Just be prepared to stand in line a bit for that one.

Walking from place to place will burn lots of time and can be tiring, but walking will give you the chance to see things you probably never thought of, nor have I mentioned here. Just stay in well lighted public areas on the main strip. A block or two the wrong direction and Vegas can get dark and scary in a hurry, especially late at night.
Walking not your thing? Busses run all night and are pretty reasonable. The Vegas Monorail is also a good way to make it from one end of the strip to the other and it_s kind of fun to ride. All day and extened passes are available. Just don_t try to cheat the system by handing passes to a friend, the system is too smart for that and you_ll get caught!

If you have money to burn, then the the sky_s the limit, quite literally...75$ will get you the flight of your life...

So, okay, if I haven_t bored you to death, hopefully I have given you a few ideas! Vegas is a cool town. I_ve been there many times, for many reasons. I was even married in Vegas. But at 19, I_d avoid that one!
Cheers
You can blow most of an evening at one of the big buffets if you have good company. In front of Treasure Island, a couple times per evening there is a big free show. Just staring at the overwhelming in Caesar_s Palace is a great think to look at and the canals in the Venetian. And at a big hotel_s swimming pool, the babe watching on a hot evening can be a wonder to behold.
walk around the strip drunk and see where that takes you! haha
if you are a risk taker, play some slots. when i went, they never carded! a security guard even stood right behind me watching me play video blackjack.. and didn_t ask anything!
but that_s just me, i had a great time going with my older friends.
although being 21 could help so much more because of the clubs and not having to worry about being carded
