I searched and didn't see a thread on Las Vegas that wasn't ten years old, but if I overlooked it please delete. My wife and I are headed out to Las Vegas for a several days in late June as part of a family trip to celebrate my MIL's 75th birthday. I have never been. What are some fun and/or interesting things to do in and around Las Vegas these days? Not interested in recreating the Hangover or anything, but I'm certainly no prude.

My wife was there last week and loved the Michael Jackson Cirque de Soleil show.
 
The Vegas Top Golf is always a good time. Pretty cool to hit golf balls with a view of the strip straight ahead.

Helicopter Tour of Grand Canyon
Top Golf is cool
You can spend a ton of time exploring the different hotels/casinos/pools. It's worth it and a lot of fun to go gamble different places.
Shows at every one of them also
 
Make sure you hydrate well, it is going to be a high of about 110 degrees every day in Las Vegas in June.
 
The Vegas experience really depends on where you're staying. I very much recommend the Wynn for the restaurants, casino, rooms, and pool. If you're looking somewhere cheaper, Caesars has a great sports book and great restaurants. Depending on where you're staying I might be able to make some specific restaurant recommendations.

We're staying at the Bellagio.

Dead & Company at the Sphere would probably be dope during the time you're there.

We just miss them - they are on their pre-July 4th break when we're there.
 
Go to the OYO, play the $5 blackjack table, and split every 10 you get. See how many people you can run off the table! Then ride the roller coaster at NYNY and be sure to take your wife to Thunder From Down Under. It's Australia's hottest export and the seats in the splash zone are worth the extra $$. O is pretty good too.
 
Nice hiking trails and some pretty good birding at the Clark county wetlands park on the east side of town. I saw California Quail, Roadrunners and a Crissal Thrasher there back in 2013.
 
Zion is beautiful. We rented e-bikes and rode through the park.

Valley of Fire State Park is also nice for hiking. Just make sure to go first thing in the morning to avoid the heat.
