Cubbing? Shopping? Strip clubs? Shows? Magic? Concerts? Circus? Sports? Gambling?
What do you drink? beer? shots? becks? smoothies?
Since you won't have a car, you'd want something central or near the strip.
More party=
Hard Rock, Cosmopolitan, Planet Hollywood.
More chill but good for young adults=
Wynn/Encore
Venetian/Palazzo
Bellagio

Vegas has strip-club bus taxis... Do with that information what you will.

Lots of shopping. If you want to go to an outlet further out for the best prices, there is one about 30-40 minutes away on a shuttle bus(i think they still do it). Just need to find one, or uber it. Lots of shopping for the women everywhere. Just depends on how much you want to spend. Just make sure if you go, have a schedule or you will waste a day shopping and not enjoying your stay.

Sports car won't fit four people. There is very little grip in vegas as it is dusty. I wouldn't recommend it if you are recovering from the night before. There is LVMS las vegas motor speedway, but isn't great, and go karts too, but I doubt the ladies would want to go, unless they are too busy shopping!

Bring pool clothes/sun glasses and nice dinner clothes/blue man group, and good walking shoes(tell the ladies!) as you will be walking a lot and it is hot during the day.

Food, it depends on what is your min-max budget. Lots of mid, mid-high, high end places. Buffet's everywhere. You can save money buy buying bottles of alcohol/ water/food/munchies at the grocery store. Or gambling 20/40 dollar tables and ordering two drinks at a time.(two sitting, one playing, one watching, and two standing, order 4 drinks, as soon as the drinks come, tip good and order 4 more!)

Try the 20/40 dollar sandwich(tip) at the check in counter and ask for a room upgrade when you check in. If they can't help you out, they will usually not take your money. It is usually a much better room that worth more than worth the tip. You can make a small request(like a view of the pool, or jaccuzi), they are there to help you.

Best buffet - Wicked Spoon in the cosmopolitan

Show - Cirque Du Soleil O in the Bellagio

Shopping - North Outlet Mall (The one that's outside). I think the South is the inside one and it sucks

My favorite casinos - Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, and MGM

Restaurant - I went to Gordon Ramsay Steak in the Paris hotel, SO DAMN GOOD

let me know if you want more detail or any more suggestions. just leaving work now

Wicked Spoon is a pretty good buffet. Bacchanal @ Caesars is also good but the lines get ridiculously long. I think it may be pricier as well.

I personally like going to non-buffet restaurants as there are a LOT of very good options in Vegas. Many may not be in casinos and be possibly off strip, but lots of good food out there.

Be sure you remember to bring sunblock unless you want to pay $20 for a small tube @ the hotel. It's always nice to get out and spend some time hanging out by the pool.

Agreed re: outlets-- The north outlet mall/las vegas premium outlets north is much better than the other option and is closer as well.

If the 20/40 sandwich tip mentioned by @swarb does not work, you could still ask for possible upgrades -- if you don't mind dropping a little extra, sometimes hotels will have some really nice rooms available for upgrades. Of course, it is always worth trying the sandwich tip first! Also depends on what you want to do... I used to not care much about the room when I was younger but I like a decent room where I can relax nowadays when I go...

As far as casinos, I'm not sure how much you like to play and if you want to try and build up points for comps/etc but I really like the Cosmo, Wynn/Encore, and Venetian/Palazzo.

Also as mentioned by @swarb -- if you're hitting the casino, be sure you take advantage of drinks whenever waitresses come around. Order drinks every time they come around and some water if you want. Don't have to leave big tips.

Remember to bring water!!!

Don't go too crazy the night before going to the grand canyon... you will DEFINITELY want to get up early to drive so that you can enjoy the sights in DAYLIGHT... remember you'll have to drive all the way back as well. BRING HATS/SUNGLASSES/UMBRELLA or something to protect yourself from the hot ass sun.

Try to get a complete set of the collector cards that the 'slappers' hand out on the street.
