I also thought he'd enjoy going over to NYNY, the water show at Bellagio, the Treasure Island show, there's the Star Trek thing, the show at the Luxor, etc. In reality, we'll probably run out of time before we run out of things he's allowed to do, lol!

Oh, tons of stuff in Vegas he can do if you wanna play tourist.
The coaster at NYNY is pretty darned good. Though I hope they've put some round wheels on the sucker by now. Last time I rode the thing my collar bone was bruised and sore for a month because the ride was so rough....and there are parts where it turned me upside down and made like a jackhammer. A 20 year old will love it...they heal quicker.
Haven't tried it, but the coaster at Sahara is supposed to be pretty good too with one of those "instant speed" pneumatic launchs.
The one on top of the Stratosphere is kinda lame other than the fact you're over 1000 feet high. The "big shot" rocks though, you'll get some good free fall and completely leave site of the tower below you. Very wicked sensation.
The Star Trek Experience is very worthwhile, as is the Neptune 3D Imax motion ride over at Caesars. And as you already mentioned the Bellagio fountains are worth watching. Catch them once from ground level center on the sidewalk so you get the music and see it correctly. But it is also worth a trip up the Eiffel Tower at Paris at night to watch them from up there as well....kind of a cool angle....also best view of the strip (Strat is much taller but so far away from everything).
I dont know if the upgrade is in place yet, but they're supposed to be jazzing up the pirate show at Treasure Island as well. If so, I'll have to catch that one night even though I've seen it many times. I also catch myself watching the Mirage volcano even though I've seen it dozens of times too.
