Traveling Alone

I%26#39;m going to Vegas from september 8th till 19th and will be traveling alone for the first time in my life. Anybode else traveling alone in that period?

Do some of you have experience with being on your one in Las Vegas? Do you guys have suggestions about where i can eat without feeling awkward etc.

Traveling Alone

I love going to vegas alone. I do what I want, when ever I want. Just enjoy your self.

Dine where ever you want to, One good tip is to take along some reading material to keep yourself busy while you wait for your food.

Traveling Alone

I almost always go to Vegas alone- I prefer it that way. You can make your own schedule without having to consult anyone about anything. It is totally selfish ';me'; time! What should you do? Anything and everything everyone else does! Don%26#39;t let the fact that you are alone in any way influence where you go, where you eat, where you stay,etc. I have eaten alone at the cheapie places (Ellis Island; In N Out Burger) but I have also eaten alone at the better restaurants (Rosemary%26#39;s).Some people prefer to eat at buffets or at the bars in restaurants. I don%26#39;t-I am on vacation and I deserve better than that! I do sometiems eat earlier than I usually do so I can get a table with a view. You can get tickets to shows easier when you are alone- you only need one seat!

Plan you trip as if other people were with you- and then go! You will find people are very friendly in Vegas. Forget your mother%26#39;s warning- Do talk to strangers. It is easy to start a conversation and make temporary new friends!

Safety is not an issue if you use common sense. I have been on the strip, off strip and downtown alone(day and night) and nothing- absolutely nothing- bad has ever happened to me. btw- I am female.

Again-plan to do what you want to do and forget about the fact that you are alone. I have never felt awkward, bored or lonely on my solo trips!

Have fun!

12 days in Vegas is a LONG time, whether alone, with your honey, or a large group. As much as I love Vegas, that is too much time for me. I would recommend heading out of town for a few days, see some of the National Parks. Do an overnight at the Grand Canyon. You could also head up to Bryce and Zion Parks for another overnight. Renting a car is the best way to do this.

I have gone by myself for a few days. I usually bring something to read when I eat in case the people watching gets dull.

When you travel alone you can eat anywhere you want without feeling awkward. If you are more comfortable at the restaurant bar, eat there. I think sometimes people tend to feel self-conscious when they sit at a table alone; but there%26#39;s no reason. People are usually paying attention to their own party rather than looking at you. I found all the servers I dealt with while dining alone to be very friendly, too.

I went to a couple of shows alone and found some of the people near me to be alone also, so it made me feel better (and gave me someone to chit-chat with while waiting for the show to start).

Traveling in Vegas alone is different than when you go with others, but the freedom to do whatever you want whenever you want is great!

Have fun!

I almost always go to Vegas by myself.

1 of the good things about it is you don%26#39;t have to listen to others to decide where to eat. You can eat when ever you want where ever you want and have what ever you want. Another thing, just because you go alone certainly does not mean you need to spend all your time alone. If you get in the mood for company, its easy to find in Vegas. Enjoy your trip.

Eating at the bar area of restaurants is a good idea. Many casino coffee shops (much different than the coffee shops in Amsterdam by the way) have counters where you can eat and you will find many other solo travelers.

Many Americans never travel outside of the USA, so I think you will find Americans curious about your background and culture and quite interested in conversing with you.

You can sometimes strike up a conversation with someone sitting next to you at a slot machine without a problem.

I think in Vegas more so than other travel destinations people who travel together tend to split up to gamble, so you will find more people wandering around by themselves.

I have done Vegas twice on my own. I never felt awkward in a restaurant etc. and it%26#39;s a great time to do what you want, when you want to do it. Enjoy.

Do go to shows alone in Vegas, please!

There are lots of posts here about solo travel, please use the search feature above and type in variousthings like ';solo travel'; ';traveling alone'; etc and read the many infomrative posts there.

If you join Las Vegas Advisor at Www.lasvegasadvisor.com, they will send you a Pocketful of Values coupon book and it is one of the few coupon books that has 50% coupons for singles to use for dinners, buffets, etc. instead of the usual ';Buy one get one free'; coups that are useless to single travelers.

You`ll be fine and if you`re at a buffet you may not have to worry about having any reading material while waiting to be served !!

Must say you are there for a long time so as others have mentioned, you may wish to consider going on a couple of side trips (if you hav`nt booked hotel yet remember vegas prices rise at weekends, so you could leave city on Friday and return on Sunday when rates go down....Tucson maybe an option,less than 50 min flight with some interesting sights for couple of days ).

Thanks for all the tips! I%26#39;m sure i%26#39;ll have a good time. Even on my own! I%26#39;m indeed planning to go out of town a couple of times.
