For those of you that have been there, what are some of the sights I should see? Anything off the beaten path that typical tourists don't know about?
I'm also interested in some mellow bars to hang in, not interested in doing the "club filled with smoke with dance music cranking with strobe light thing".

1st off congrats! Off the beaten path, I'd go with Red Rock Canyon (Hence my username, which I kept from my Vegas days). It is a half hour drive from the Strip to the west. Valley of Fire is a cool park about 45 minutes north. Zion Nat'l Park is 2 hours and Grand Canyon is 4 1/2 hours.
As for mellow bars, the Peppermill on the Strip (near Riviera I believe). Have a drink at the top of the Stratosphere also. They have a restaurant and bar up there. It is fine dining, but you can skip it and just go to the lounge and have a drink and take in the view. Star Trek the Experience has some really cool drinks in their bar also. Just a few suggestions, but no matter where you go, you will find plenty of mellow bars along the way.
