There is a several-acre sized lake in front of the Bellagio with 1000 fountains that do a "dancing" and light show every half hour. It's iconic to Vegas.
Whenever I see/hear/read about the Seattle Space Needle, I always think of the movie "The Parallax View", starring Warren Beatty. If you like suspense/thrillers, you'll like that one.
Shopping on holiday - no thankyou!
