I don't know if you want to move hotels during your week stay or not, but you may want to consider that to get the full "effect" of Vegas. We have relatives who live in Boulder City and have spent a decent amount of time there...we usually stay off-strip, even sometimes off-Old Vegas, just because we were going on the weekends when we lived in southern California, and the rooms were *so* much more reasonable. However, wherever you stay, it's worth getting some good walking shoes on your feet and walking up and down the strip and seeing the sites--the hotels *and* the people.

By the way, you used to be able to take tours of Hoover Dam, but I believe they may have stopped or curbed that since 9-11.
