Go to the French Restaurant with the green iron decor....Mon Ami Gabi on the strip.
It's right across the street from Cosmo...go see "Love" at the Mirage...or Absinthe...the later is more rowdy and close by. Love is my favorite show in Vegas..
That will be a quality "tourist" night in Vegas...maybe head to Spearmint Rhino to top it off.

I know what I'm talking about...
Truth be told...go to old Vegas. **** the Strip...go to Fremont street.... that french restaurant is great though...and you can just walk over there.
I would stay at El Cortez...that's the area you want to party in...way, way cooler than the strip.
