    Ever Go to Vegas Alone?

    Seems like it could be fun....find hoes and gamble without having to keep tabs on friends or a girlfriend. If so, how much did you go there with, where did you stay and was it a good decision?

    Been twice in the past 6 months. Once for fun and once for a business trip last week. With that said, my business conference was only three days and I stay until Sunday....6 days is a long time in Vegas.

    My fiance is officially sick of the place....I could go every weekend.

    I would probably have a good time alone. It's not hard to meet people. The town has thousands of drunk degenerate gamblers just like us.

    Couple of friends got married and went out there for the honeymoon and had intended on doing the whole "Vegas" wedding as well so myself and a few of their other friends went out there as well. Obviously with them just getting married, I kinda left them to enjoy their honeymoon for a lot of the time, maybe meeting up for a couple hours round lunchtime and meeting again to go out for a meal/show/club etc in the nights, so ultimately I spent of lot of my time there on my own - and enjoyed every minute.

    Was nice to be able to just do my own thing without really worrying about other people getting bored - spent most of my afternoons sat at a sports bar, cheering on whatever teams I had bets on and chatting to whoever was around, which mostly seemed to be people who had picked up on my british accent and were surprised that I even understood how a hockey or baseball game worked !

    I can see how it can look quite sad going somewhere on your own, some places you visit and if you are sat in a bar for a few hours on your own people seem to think something is wrong with you - but if anything I would say that Vegas is arguably the best possible place to go if you are on your own as everyone seems to be doing their own thing and you just get chatting to people so easily...

    Going to Vegas alone can be +EV if you're just there to watch sports and gamble. During football season there are plenty of people to BS with and talk sports/gambling. I've gone with friends before who aren't sportsbook gamblers and it's annoying. I will tell them I'm going to place a few bets at the sports book and drink. They come and get me after a bit and want to walk around and overpay for drinks and food. Fukk that, see you after the Pac-12 games, pal. I'm drinking for free.

    I also want to add.... 2 girls approached me while I was on the cell. Absolutely came out of nowhere. I wasn't drunk... wasn't lit up or anything. It was one white girl and one black... I was just outside Caesars... walking to Mirage... She goes "Hey! You need some company? Because me and my friend need someone to hang with." Now remind you... I'm still on the phone.. and startled... it was a business call actually. All I said was No thanks and laughed. She goes... are you sure? I said yep... Honestly... never had a hooker before... but let me tell you something... they were both around 5'4'' 115 lbs. C Tits... absolutely beautiful both the white girl and black... and it was only 3:30 PM in daylight! I was so surprised... But what would they charge me??? Never hooked up with a hooker before? And let me tell you.... they didn't even look like hookers... they looked like anyone else. They were both dressed presentable... not too slutty.. but the goods were hanging out. LOL Wish I had that chance all over again.

    Yes went there alone in Nov 2007 and it was great! Did not have a single losing night at the tables...wasn't into sports betting back then otherwise would have put my profits on some games

    I love Vegas when i stay away from the Strip.I stay at either the Southpoint and Fiesta Henderson Vegas is way to touristy.I tried to walk the strip too many people harassing me and my wife flicking cards at me bums on every corner Deginerates on every block cant stomach the strip i like to drive down the strip at night but thats it.Back on topic Vegas stinks now buy yourself u need to go with a bunch of freinds especially married ones so you can check out the women So many Hotties in Vegas now not like the 80s and early 90s when i was young going there.It just more fun with a group,I used to go by myself but that was just to play the horses before simalcasting took off.Vegas sucks by yourself.

    interesting responses...i can see how Vegas would be perfect for the "hanging out in a bar alone" thing since everyone there is looking to mingle and is probably shitfaced already anyway. the hooker story is interesting...i would have just said yes, banged em and said i wasn't aware it was a hooker situation. where did you guys stay? i saw some good packages if you plan in advance, roundtrip flight+shit motel for 5 days was about $700....not bad at all

    I'm sure they would have let you know it was a hooker situation before you banged em

    Vegas is to be enjoyed with friends/family. Unless I was there for gambling only, I'd never go alone. I like to drink and gamble with friends unless it's off-shore betting

    better to go by yourself you dont have to keep tabs on anyone, no one keeps tabs on you. Can stay out as late as you want with no one hasseling you. People will come up to you and give you props saying oh i couldnt do that or ask you why are you by yourself and can make up some stupid stuff to make girls feel sorry for you then bang em.

    Its all about how you want to be looked as if you dont care what other people think go right ahead if you care what other people think about you dont do it.

    Poker is a big reason I figured it'd be better...hate trying to end my sessions at the exact time my friends do. I haven't been to Vegas since I was 10 years old...are the sluts just drunk and ready to go in every bar or does it require any effort whatsoever? Seems like a total shitshow.

    Vegas alone on pleasure becomes a new frontier for those who lack dik control...no girlfriend to monitor you when you go to the casino cash phone or advance on your 5th card...not to mention hookers, but beware the hookers are top $$$ in Vegas - often 5x the going rate in big cities, especially on the strip..They will try to take advantage of inebriated souls. Take a buddy, at the very least, just to make sure you don't end up an urban myth like the guy who met the chick got drugged and had his kidney removed..

    It requires saying hello...thats it....even the drinks are going around free....if your at a club/bar around closing...or anytime....its in the bag...

    Yeah Poker without being rushed and just hanging out is great....last time i went i honestly believe I lost $ b/c I wanst comfortable...

    I dont know how much your worth, but playing blackjack (5$) min at the pool at the golden nugget was fun @ the last bash...

    Place is a TOTAL...shit show...

    At one point I was in Excaliber or something all piss drunk walking around....noticed I was surrounded by like 150 wild ladies....then I realized I took a wrong turn and they were in a long long ass line for some male strip show LOL.....

    these ladies were outta conrol LOL
