lot of different tournament series going on, something for every bankroll. you can play one every day if you want. cash games are good everywhere, higher limit ones at Bellagio and Wynn.
I'd recommend checking out at least one of the cirque shows.
Food here is just amazing, and there is a ton of variety of very high quality dining. Try a type of cuisine you have never had before. There are a lot of expensive places that are just awesome, but plenty of local places which are much cheaper, and also very good- especially if you like asian food. Some of my favorite places are Prime, Tao, and China Grill...china grill and tao are both great places for groups of 4+ as food is shared.
If your on the strip its actually pretty safe to walk around with money(too many people for anything bad to happen, same in casinos + security cameras all over) I def wouldn't be doing it in downtown(north LV) tho. If your going to be playing some events then wire money to the Rio, then just take out whatever you need each time.
