Unless you like standing around and crowds, Vegas is a horrible place to go on a weekend, save your money and time and go somewhere else.
The old strip is the only place you can go to avoid the masses, but there is a reason the masses avoid the old strip.

By "the old strip" are you referring to downtown? That area is crawling with people, too. However, that's where the cheap gambling can still be had. If you really want to avoid the crowds, go twenty years ago. :)
Not sure if anyone has recommended the Pinball Hall of Fame yet, but it's pretty cool if you're into that sort of thing. Not exactly what you'd expect but still fun.

Lots to do in Vegas, many already mentioned. yep, old Vegas is worth a trip - go in the evening but not too late to see the light show, and you might as well do some gambling at the old gambling halls where you can actually find cheap slots and reasonably priced table games.
If you're into gentlemens clubs, there are a ton, and for a group of 6, call ahead to the Spearmint Rhino and tell them you're a bachelor party and they'll send over a car to pick you up. Expect to spend a bit of $$ though ;)
The ST experience is cool, during the day the Shelby museum is cool too. Oh, and don't forget to go to the pinball hall of fame / museum

There are plenty of shows to see, and several free ones. TI does a sidewalk show every evening, and the fountains at the Bellagio are pretty cool. Its fun to wander around the insane decadence of the ultra expensive casino hotels (Wynn and Bellagio) and if you're into cars, check out the Wynn Penske Ferrari Maserati dealership at the Wynn Hotel

They've got a big showroom and you can wander around...
Its not a trip to Vegas without a ride on the NYNY roller coaster, and last trip there my wife and I took the elevator up to the top of the eiffel tower in Paris...fun and a great way to get a good view of the whole strip. If you're into nightlife, there are a TON of clubs/bars and things don't get started until late. Expect to eat dinner late, and arrive at clubs no earlier than 10pm for there to be any action. My fav clubs are Rum Jungle, House of Blues, Ghost Bar, Tao, and LAX. There are TONS more, too many to have gone to them all....
Have fun!

I agree with everything posted here. I'd also throw in try a great restaurant. Emeril's at the MGM is good (Emerils Fish House I think). There are amazing places to eat so check it out. Didnt get to the Pinball museum though.
Going Sunday - Wednesday is much cheaper especially at some hotels. If that's an option for you guys, check out the Excalibur or another older hotel like that. $39 a night or so.
