can you go to vegas without gambling?

im attempting a trip this weekend where I don't gamble in vegas. Very easily said than done. I want to just party, go to shows, hang out and sight see. Now I love to gamble but I can gamble at home.

do you think that you could pull it off? its gonna be hard but im going to give it a try.

 

Yes, but it doesn't hurt to playing your favorite game for a bit.

 

I do not think I could go to vegas and not gamble....and I am not much of a gambler. It is just another fun activity to do out there for me and I do not play anywhere else generally. But I am sure it can be done. After all, nongamblers can be vegas lovers too.

 

In a word: no.

 

For a weekend it definitely can be done but very few just go for the sights or shows. The lights stay on 24 hours a day because of the gambling. It'll be interesting to hear how your challenge goes. Good luck.

 

Nope. That's what I'm there for.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOO. It's the reason we go to Vegas. Huge Indian casino ~20 miles from our house. Never go there.

 

For me it's not possible. I could always dig up a few bucks to sit on the Pai Gow table. If it's a five dollar table and not playing the bonus and with a little luck your money can last. Long enough to have a lot of drinks.

I can and do, but I live in Nevada and frequent Vegas for business primarily... so very different from most on the board. Though I live here, I can count on one hand the number of times I've gambled up north. When I do... it's Las Vegas!

 

As others have said, "NO WAY!" I go mainly to gamble; and although I like many of the other things Vegas provides, I definitely wouldn't bother if I couldn't play.

 

I almost did it on our last trip. Was a business trip, did some shopping, lots of eating & drinking. Gambled about an hour on our last night in town And I would have been fine not gambling - I like to play craps and we were at TI - no $5 tables anywhere around and I didn't feel like traveling to gamble a little so I just played some slots while my husband played electronic craps - I watched their game some too.....

 

Nope because I don't want to buy all my own drinks. + =

 

Possible...you'd likely have to have a lot of other activities scheduled. Shows, dinners, sight-seeing. I don't think I could do it, but if I set my mind to not gambling it would be an interesting challenge.

 

There is no way I would even consider going to Vegas and not being able to gamble.

 

I think I could probably come to Vegas and gamble less, maybe only at night time or whatever. Well that is till the degenerate side kicks in after a few too many sherbets, and then I,d feel justified in upping my bets to make up for the time that I had,nt gambled!!

Short answer........ No feckin way

 

No chance. When I'm in Vegas I gamble. I don't go to many shows and I don't go to clubs so there wouldn't be much else for me to do.

 

o me now since I gamble a lot when I go to Vegas, but way back when I first started going, I did not gamble a cent on my first two trips. The first time was easy because I was not even in town for 24 hours (it was more of a one night stopover to party with friends while on my way to another destination). The second time, I was there for three nights. I shopped, hung by the pool, ate good food, watched a ton of sports, and saw a couple shows.

Don't think I could do it now, but it is interesting to think back to those early trips

 

No...one of the biggest reasons I go.

 

I enjoy gambling and I go to Vegas to...gamble!

But it's not for everyone.

As Vegas seems determined to turn the Strip into a bizarre mismatched mega-mall of high-high-high-end shopping mixed with third-world "entertainers," homeless water vendors, some sort of tent city in front of Bally's, a giant ferris wheel with views of the back of hotels and parking lots, and Walgreens/CVS stores scattered in between...it looks like there will be plenty to do for those with an aversion to gambling.

 

Easily. I've done it. If I'm in town for a conference or something else that keeps me busy all day, I can spend a couple of days in town and never bet a thing.
