I haven't been to Vegas since the early 1980s. I will be spending a weekend there in July. Although a friend might meet me there, there's a good possibility I'll be entirely on my own.

Any suggestions for an unaccompanied woman on where to stay, where to go and/or what shows to see?

I'm not into gambling. I know I want to see the Fremont Street light show, and spend some time by a nice pool with a tropical drink... other than that, my time will be wide open.
