Solo in Vegas

Hi everyone,

I went on my first trip to Vegas for Spring Break in March with all of my girlfriends. Now I want to treat myself in Nov or Dec. with a solo trip. I%26#39;m 21, would going solo be a good idea?

Solo in Vegas

YES. I do this routinely that time of year. You don%26#39;t have to worry about anyone else having a good time - you can be selfish and do what you want to do. Rooms are usually pretty cheap during that period, too.

Sure. You should be completely safe on the strip; however standard big city rules apply. Being from Atlanta, you no doubt aren%26#39;t naive when it comes to bars and clubs-the same savvy applies to LV- as I%26#39;m sure you and your friends discovered. The advantages of being alone are you do what YOU want, WHEN you want to do it. Plan out a few things you wish to do again-and some stuff you wanted to do, but didn%26#39;t get the chance and enjoy.

It%26#39;s great going solo, do anything you want at any time. No one is slowing you down at any time, no arguements, no one to worry about. But do remember to be in a safe area.

Atlanta is probably more dangerous than Vegas; you%26#39;ll be fine.

Solo in Vegas is the only way to fly. You set your own pace %26amp; do your own thing. No one dragging you to see Elvis or some other attraction. You can play all night %26amp; sleep all day. Or any combiation of the two to fix your desires. I never had a problem making conversation with the person seated next to me at a blackjack table. The friendliest people are the fellow players right next to you !1 Enjoy

I have been going to Vegas for 13 years and for the last 6 I have usually gone alone-once or twice a year. And I wouldn%26#39;t have it any other way!! I eat where I want and when I want. If I decide to go see something I don%26#39;t have to worry about dragging someone with me who doesn%26#39;t want to go. I see the shows I want, keep the hours I want, go to the attractions I want- it is purely my ';me'; time that I absolutely love!! I never feel unsafe at any hour on the strip and I am never ever bored or lonely. You will meet people from other states and other countries. It is fabulous!

With a name like ';Toya W'; from Atlanta, my guess is that you are African American.

I am also from Atlanta/Cobb County and I would highly recommend against going alone as an AA female.

At night, the Las Vegas strip and the casino bars are filled with the same type of women who hang out on Ponce de Leon and Stewart Avenue in Atlanta.

Don%26#39;t be offended by this, but my advice is to dress conservatively or you will run the risk of being mistaken.

Deacon,

So, she gets mistaken. Makes a few extra $$ on her trip. Where%26#39;s the harm??

hi toya, im going alone for the first time and i am so excited. I leave this Saturday. Im going to see Jill scott at the Mandalay Bay this Saturday , treat myself to a couple of spas, go shopping, swimming, clubbing and try my luck as well! dont worry about a thing life is too short.

Lucky you!! Treat yourself to some spa treatments or if you can afford it, a whole day at a spa, a Canyon Ranch day would be awesome. If you like to shop, that could take a day or two at least. Add in some pool time and meals (play keno while you eat!) and your days will be more than full! Spend evenings people watching, gambling at the tables or the machines, video poker is fun and the time flies by. At the end of the day you will be glad you are alone and will be able to fall asleep easily and sleep as long as you like!! Have a ball!!
