The nicest hotel on the strip is easily the Wynn. Beautiful hotel, nice casino, right on a golf course. Its on the north end of the strip, so its a bit of a hike if you want to head down to the Bellagio, Venetian, Caesar's, etc., but its worth it IMHO. I also liked Paris because it seems smaller and less of a clusterfuck, but that could just be me. Everyone will tell you to go to a Cirque du Soleil show and there are 3 or 4 to choose from, but I was unimpressed. I liked Blue Man Group more. The fountain show at the Bellagio is worth checking out too because its free and entertaining and there's one on the hour and half-hour, so its too easy to pop out of the casino and check it out.
Also, the strip is 5 and a half miles long and the hotels are HUGE. So some concierge might tell you that where you want to go is "just down the strip" or "two hotels over". That's a long way to walk in 118 degrees. Go ahead and spring for a cab.
As for playing, I hit up P411 and found a couple of lovely ladies willing to put up with my ass for an hour at a time. Check out Humaniplex and troothsayerz as well. You might get some good leads there.
Enjoy yourself and only gamble what you can afford to lose!
