You'll have a great time!
I'd recommend going to a shooting range - http://thegunstorelasvegas.com/ - was great. Easy to spend hundreds of $$$ but awesome fun. I shot an MP5 and a Desert Eagle, got covered in crap and gun oil and had an excellent time! It's only a few minutes from the Strip and easy to get to.
Definitely see some of the shows and the Circe du Soleil's are amazing. If Eau is still running at The Bellagio then you have to see it. Breathtakingly ace
I really enjoyed Penn & Teller too.
The Atomic Testing museum is a bit of a wildcard choice but was a really interesting half day - http://www.nationalatomictestingmuseum.org/.
Dune Buggies in the desert were great fun too. We went with http://www.sunbuggy.com/.
Helicopter flights over the strip at sunset too - very beautiful and I'd recommend flying to Hoover Dam. That is impressive engineering!
And you've got to get half-wasted, play blackjack until morning and then crash by the pool
I'll have a think about the other things I did and come back with more links. I didn't go to the pinball place, but there is a nice arcade halfway down the strip near to the M&M building.
It's easy to burn cash though; two of us were there for 2 weeks and blew about £8k, but I do like shopping

Obviously you need to go to the Pinball Hall Of Fame a short taxi ride off the strip. 100's of pins to play from the 1940s to 2013!! And a fair few cabs too.
Circus circus has a few retro and modern cabs. I seem to remember playing frogger.
Every casino on the strip has an arcade. Check out YouTube vids from Arcade hunters as he's recently done a Vegas arcade tour showing a few casinos and there current line up
Also check out the pawn stars pawn shop and light display in Freemont street.
It's been 12 months since I was there. Loved it
Have a good un dude

Just 2 words to say to you...
Jammy Tawt
I loved Vegas (went there in 2010 for my 40th) best holiday destination i've ever been to (and I have been abroad quiet a few times in my time)
You'll love the place...its not just about gambling either,there's so much to do there 2 weeks isn't enough imo....
Enjoy the place

East Fremont Street (the old strip) has a barcade called Insert Coin, you should go there.
I've been to Vegas 3 times over the last decade, but this year was the first time i spent any time on Fremont street, its a different vibe to the main strip, its a bit sketchier late at night, but its not as in-your-face or spread out as the main strip, with far fewer hustlers too. The old school neons/lights and facades are much cooler than the newer stuff too. So, if you're actually into table gambling, go to the old strip on Fremont street and go into any of the casinos there. I stayed at the Golden Nugget in March and was very impressed, much nicer and cleaner and newer than places like the Luxor which was worn out (my first trip) and the Riviera (second) which has also been overhauled and is quite nice now. The Golden Nugget also has massive pool, with an aquarium you swim next to, around, with transparent slide tubes that go *through* the fish tank full of sharks! There's a great pool/bar on the upper floors too for proper vegas relaxing. The croupiers at the Nugget i found to be very friendly, as are the clientelle, you can very easily sit and play blackjack, drink, and chat to the various characters that join the table..
Oh, and go to the Diner in the bottom of the Golden Gate casino, its the best breakfast in Vegas.
Get a flight over the Hoover Dam / Lake Mead if you can, thats quite a sight too.
