Here are some tips I got from a good mate in the US and where to eat and what to see. Lotus of Siam I've tried - it's great, it has a cheap buffet lunch (would only go for lunch, not dinner) - great value, a little off the strip so you need wheels to get there, but at $5.99 for all you can eat, you can't beat it! There is a great wig store next door too..... if you like wigs (my mom does!!):
Here are a couple suggestions...
One of the best thai places supposedly in the country - I think it's pretty good and it's super cheap.

Hope that helps! I still like the Begallio buffet - I do that every time - I think it's the best buffet in vegas. If you want to see a very popular and cool show - probably one of the Cirque De Soeil shows. I saw their O show at the Begallio. To get tickets start lining up by their ticket office around 3:00 p.m. the day of the show you are interested in getting in and you can almost certainly get tickets since people cancel etc. Tickets are pricy - I think they were like $100 a person - but the show has dramatic effects and all the seats are good. Considered one of the best shows in Vegas on the strip.
