If you have any inkling on how to play NL Holdem, go play at the Venetian. Any idiot could beat the 1/2 there, not to mention, the cocktail waitresses pretty much put on a free show 
The Venetian poker room is by far the nicest in vegas and I recommend you play there. I made a killing there last time (and every time) but definitely spent more on clubbing and strip clubs. Spearmint is alright. It's huge and has lots of girls, but can get pretty crowded. I bumped into Mike Tyson there earlier this month.
Also make sure to do some touristy things such as see the fountain show at the Bellagio, pirate show at Treasure Island, Volcano at the Mirage, light show at the Wynn etc. They'll only provide you a small amount of entertainment, but they won't cost you anything. I think it's worth it to spend some time to see what makes Vegas, Vegas.
Also MGM has some miserable lions, Mirage has some miserable tigers, and the Flamingo has a bunch of flamingos. These are all things that I see if I'm with a non-gambling friend, and they keep me away from the tables. Otherwise, I'd never leave the Venetian.
