2 days in Vegas by myself.. what should I do that isn't typical Vegas?

Going to Vegas in late March, going to extend my trip by 2 nights while the rest head home.. what should I do that may be out of the typical vegas sphere (that I will be indulging in plenty while the group is together)? Golf? Some bullshit outside the city? Should I just continue the hookers and blow? Some type of show?

For context, I've only been to vegas twice and it's been the same shit, which I enjoy - but I figure with 2 days I might as well try something different, maybe.

Thanks in advance, swill.

Guitar it on the streets for cash

Read a book.

Go to church?

Red Rock Canyon is pretty cool. Don't hike there with a buzz on.

Whatever you do, do it on mushrooms.

Love the valley of fire idea. Thanks

What happens there stays there.

I’d probably go the Liberace Museum and the National atomic energy museum. I like odd museums everynow and then. When I was at niagra falls I went to the daredevil museum where they had a complete history of all the foolish stunts and actual barrels that people went over the falls in.

Win at a casino.

Read this first.

Ha! Actually read that a few months ago. Big fan - still need to watch the movie.

Did someone mention a movie?  

never been (thankfully), but I'd rent a car and get the hell out of there.. go hiking, grab a mountain bike, etc.

Some of this has already been mentioned
- Hoover Dam, it's fairly close and you can do the tour in 1/2 day, the new bridge is pretty cool to (the old bridge IS the dam)
- Red Rock Canyon, again fairly close
- some nice courses there, if you golf

longer excursions
- Grand Canyon, national park - just over a 4 hour drive
- Grand Canyon glass skywalk - just over 2 hour drive, Indian Reservation
- Zion National Park - about 2 1/2 hour drive, if you go I recommend leaving through Zion Mt Carmel Tunnel
- Bryce Canyon - just over 4 hour drive
you could drive to both Zion and Bryce, but it wouldn't leave you much time to see them

I echo the other suggestions.

I don’t know if you have done this or not , but one of the things I like doing in Vegas is just walking the strip and people watching. It’s so entertaining, you get exercise, and can grab a drink while doing it.

Also, you could collect all the hooker cards they hand out, and mail them to a friend.

I haven't booked my stay for the other 2 nights, maybe I'll look into that. Pretty sure I've been there and the minimum bets were also more my style. Also, fuck slots.

Mrs. I.B. would rather you refer to her as formerly a lady of the evening.

Excuse me, for the hard of comprehending (ahem,tgreenway).... marry a hooker younger than your mother...
