Definetly you wan't to do speed the ride at the Sahara hotel in the nascar cafe. Also Manhaten Express is also a very good coaster. And definetly go to buffalo bills to do the arrow hyper coaster i forgot the name but i will think of it later. Thats all i know. also to the big shot on top of the huge tower.

You should definately do Speed, Canyon Blaster, and Manhattan Express. All 3 are awesome, especially in the bright Vegas lights at night. Desperado at Buffalo Bills is pretty rough, but it has some great airtime, plus you get a buy one get one free for Manhattan Express, which let me ride that twice in a row. Buffalo Bill's also has a log flume and a turbo shot, but I didn't ride those. I also didn't get up to the Stratosphere Tower to ride the family coaster and turbo shot.
Buffalo Bill's in about 40 miles from Vegas, right on the highway like 100 feet past the Nevada state line. When you reach the strip, the 1st hotel with a coaster is New York New York, which is near the front. At the other end, Circus Circus, The Sahara(Nascar Cafe), and the Stratosphere are all within easy walking distance of each other. Manhattan Express was my favotite Vegas coaster. Speed was good too, but it was 2 short. You do get 2 rides though. Canyon Blaster is cool, but it wasn't too special besides the fact that it was indoors and it's actually a smooth Arrow. Other than that, nothing too great.

well imo....
dont ride manhattan express!!! the ride was soooo bumpy!! i didnt ride too many other rides while i was there. i did get to ride the big shot. that is my second favorite ride i've ever been on. yeah, space shots are fun, but a space shot on top of a 1,000 foot building!! its crazy! also, another great ride is at ceasars palace. its a 3-D simulator with huge 3-D glasses that look almost like night vision goggles. well the goggles have speakers right next to the ears which make for a very very cool ride. you should go try that out. i think its called escape from atlantis. i didnt get to ride canyon blaster but i heard its one of arrows smoothest coasters.

The Star Trek the Experience was awsome, it was one of the best experiences on a thrill ride that I have ever had, worth every penny imo.

Vegas was so killer. I'd recommend staying on the Strip in the middle of things. Save on taking taxis everywhere. We stayed at the Hilton which was off strip. Too far from the action.
