Female Going Alone??

As a regular female Vegas solo, I have to admit that solo is not for everybody. Most people who would not go solo probably know a person(s) who enjoys Vegas as they do. When you get used to someone who likes to travel as you do (and especially to Vegas), it could be a tad difficult to go solo I presume.

While I would love to go to Vegas with someone who is as enthused about Vegas as I am, I am yet to find that, having traveled to Vegas with a boyfriend, friend, and sister on 3 different trips. They are just not that into Vegas. And there are far better things in the world to do than go to Vegas with people who do not care for it.

I would only prefer to go with people to Vegas if they in fact love Vegas. And preferably if they enjoyed the things I liked to do (even harder). Therefore, I go solo.

That being said, I do not think about other peoples' opinions about me being solo. No one is going to notice or care...and even if they pointed and laughed, I would still smile at them and go on my merry way (no one does that by the way). Between internet, text and phone calls, I am always connected to people. Besides I am chatting some stranger up possibly at any given time...for no reason at all. And I am actually a quiet person by nature.

It's hard for me to enjoy a club alone unless it's pretty packed. I do desire a partner to dance with...preferably a non-stranger...at least to begin with. But I would like to do more partying. Instead of full-blown nightclubs, I stick to bars/lounges with DJs like Chandelier or Carnaval Court. I can dine pretty much anywhere.

I love going solo genuinely and wholeheartedly. I never feel unsafe. I always feel connected. I stay in a good mood. Rarely do people notice that you are solo, and if they do, who cares. I do whatever I want whenever I want.

 

Going solo is no problem in vegas

This will be my 17th time to vegas and the 14 time i go solo(twice my brother went with me and one time an online friend)
As im solo vegas is the place where its cool to go on vaction by your own
Yes i am a guy but as a female i think you even have less problems as sometimes you as single man all alone you get harrashed by ladies on the street who wants to party:confused2:

 

Sco
I totally back you up on that i have exactly the same
I admit its cool when you are with someone who also loves vegas and going to dinner with a friend is nicer than by yourself but for the rest
Back home im pretty closed off( dont go out or so) but in vegas im more social
I feel comfortable and safe in vegas and always have an excellent time
( just gambling a bit seeing shows going to the spa swimmingpool )

 

As long as you are an outgoing person, and not scared of everything around you, then you will have a great time. Get a bus pass and use that as much as possible, instead of taxi (cuts a big expense) Now, the few times I walked from casino royale to the Quad late night early morning hours, (1am-7am) I was not comfortable being alone because it seeems that there are more creepy people out then...but I would say its still pretty safe. I have taken my husband twice over the years, and last year I went to meet a group of ladies from a army mom support group, and I will NEVER take my hubby again...he is such a bump on a log when you get him out of his enviroment...if he wants to go...then he can go alone...LOL So you are probably much better going alone anyway and not having to entertain him also. HAVE FUN

 

I have a travel buddy that I call "The Navigator". She can look at any map or mass transit route in any city or country and know where to go and good thing because I'm terrible at directions.
Me? I always seem to turn right when I should be going left. With that said here at home I pretty much keep to myself and dine alone so I'm used to it. I've only been on one solo trip to Vegas.
I had fun and will go solo again someday I'm sure. But when we are in Vegas together I'm up early and down in the gym/spa. Sometimes I'll eat a light breakfast alone before waking her up.
We sometimes go separate ways in the casinos because we like different games. She'll play GoldFish while I play the manly stuff like Alien. We keep in touch by text messages so I don't get lost!

 

I'm not a woman, but I think girls who go to the club alone need to be incredibly careful, in fact, you can never be too careful in those situations by any stretch of that phrase.

I have never taken a real solo trip to Vegas but I have spent a couple days by myself and when I wonder around, I only feel awkward if I don't feel like I have somewhere to go. Usually I have a route planned out which ends with a place for me to stop and play craps or poker.

Good luck on your trip, take normal precautionary measures, and I'm sure you'll have a great time.

 

When are you going?
heck im going with a guy friend (may 11-16) and still wish i had more people to go with. although if he had bailed i woulda still gone alone, sometimes people just need to get away from crap!

 

Just play it smart as you would in any other major city.

Stick with crowds. Don't flaunt your money and so on......

If getting lonely find a table game like Craps. You will be making friends in no time.

Eating shouldn't be an issue. Anyone who has issues with a person eating solo has bigger issues themselves. At a buffet no one can really tell you are dining alone as usually people go their separate ways.

This may be the perfect time to bring a camera and snap some good pictures.
You can take your time and get some cool shots instead of someone getting impatient that you are taking too long.

The only thing I would miss about going solo is when you get that big win and you have no one to share the new. If that ends up being the case just sign on to the board and post about it. We will all be happy to share your win.

 

Like all of the posts have said, Be safe! Vegas can be a great place to party, explore and have fun, but as a solo traveler risk increases - if something happens, it'll take longer for people to know. If you travel with a group and don't show for a scheduled meeting, they know quickly something went wrong. Maybe you can call a friend at certain times? Perhaps once a day, to check in and say you're fine? There's not really a hindrance to the vacation from that.
