My wife and I are arriving Sat 8/20 in the morning, leaving Tues 8/23 in the morning. Staying @ the Flamingo. It's only my second time. 1st was 5-6 years ago, and I didn't play poker at the time. Wife's first time. I'm looking for advice in a few areas. I like to plan stuff out so I need to fill in a lot of holes. Tentative schedule:

Sat am/afternoon: Roam the strip, lunch, Mac King afternoon show at harrahs? Dinner?

Sun: Breakfast buffet at Bellagio? pool time, dinner/show = Rat Pack tribute @ greek isles? Downtown after show?

Mon: wide open

1) Comments on either of those shows? Recommended as great values on rec.vacations.las-vegas. Other ideas for activities? Not interested in any of the big shows. Not club people, but would love recommendations for lounges with good singers/bands. Piano lounge at Harrahs?

2) Places to eat - breakfast/lunch/dinner. Can be "fast food" or sit-down, but we aren't picky/fancy eaters. Doubt we'll eat more than one meal >$25 per person (excluding drinks). I haven't read much on lower-priced non-buffet places. Cheapovegas.com says the flamingo has a good prime rib place. Read somewhere the deli at TI is solid.

3) Poker - I have to fit this in whenever I can. A good portion of it may be all night Monday/Tuesday morning before we leave. Will there be any worthwhile games at this time or is it all dead? My plan is to hit as many rooms as I can for a couple hours each.

Any advice from the pros would be appreciated.
