Vegas:
You can rent Ferraris and supercars fairly cheap for a few hours on the strip. You'll see them parked up on the sidewalk.
Treasure Island do a great live show most nights at the front of the hotel.
MGM have lions in their lobby during the day, free to visit. If you like animals visit Siegfried and Roys zoo and aquatic centre.
Watch the Bellagio fountains at night, amazing.
Circus Circus have an indoor theme park. Yes, it's indoor.
Deffo do the GC in a helicopter, don't be coerced into deals in hotels or sidewalk. We went into CVS (it's a big pharmacy) and inside the door there was a guy with a stand specializing in rides and we got it really cheap with him. We opted to hire a jeep ourselves (you wont be driving a mustang or the like to the GC!!) and drove to the Hoover Dam on the way to the deal we got here:

I'll never forget it. Driving there was cool too. Don't do that overpriced glass walk thing over the Canyon, it's meant to be crap. And you can't take photos.
If you're not up for that they can pick you up from LV and drop you back via helicopter.
NYC:
Will be very cold.
You can't just walk into/anywhere near Ground Zero (I found out to my horror), there is a waiting list and you have to book tickets on line. I wouldn't go to Ellis Island unless you want to queue all day in the freezing cold. The Zephyr is FREE from the Docks and goes as close to the statue as you need and you also get a full tour FOC - they just ask for a donation if you like when departing.
There are little Asian box type things on the corners of every street in NYC - they look really dodgy like stuff is made of rats but they are really nice and hygienic and the lamb and rice is meant to be lovely. Really cheap and new yorkers live on the stuff.
Time Square at night is amazeballs. Visit Toys R Us, biggest toy store in the world.
Book your tickets online in advance for broadway (cheaper this way) we got the cheapest ones for the lion king and could see fine, try and get up near the back and an aisle seat - good view. You have to go down and collect your tickets that day at the box office. Then you bypass all the queue in the evening - simples
Go to the plane museum - it's on a big ship - it's awesome.
http://www.intrepidmuseum.org/ Really recommend this.
Visit grand central station - so many movies will make sense.
Stay out of Macys and go across to Sephora nearby and get your missus some urban decay pallettes for cheap as a pressie. She'll love you for it.
Eat in Bubba Gump Shrimp Times Square at least once on a weekday (stay out of there on the w/e) and order this:
Bubba’s After the Storm
“Bucket of Boat Trash”
Flash fried Shrimp, Fish with Cajun Spices,
and steamed Canadian Lobster Claw.
Served with Fries. 1250 cals 21.29
EPICDont go to central park at night, but try see some of it if you can. There will be alot of walking, you can get everything done if you prepare and have good time management skills
And breathe! You might want to print this out
There are pics of both trips on my facew@nk if you want a look.
And do me a favour, make sure your visa number is working and finding you on the system before you head to the airport.
Some shopping in NY on the last day is also on the cards and a trip to the rocky steps in Phily.
