Heading to vegas for a poker trip on Labour Day Weekend solo.

Should I be at all worried about my safety while walking the strip solo late at night or anything like that?

Any other tips or things to watch our for as a solo?

No... come on. you will be okay. Just don't go down any dark alleys and keep your wits about you. Best to keep your cash and ID in your front pocket or secure pack/backpack.

I am solo everyday.

Yeah you'll be fine. I'm sure there will be many people in your same situation. I will be solo as well for about 3 wks in June.

we need to get a SOLO group going for drink night somewhere... maybe town square

I've gone to Vegas tons of times by myself (Married father of three) because none of my close friends like to play poker. If you're on the strip or in the Rio/Palms/Gold Coast area, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Because it's a town that "never sleeps", you're probably safer than most places that roll up the carpets about midnight. I'll be there "solo" from 6/20-24.

I've done it once and it was one of my favorite trips out of the 10 I've had. I will definitely do it again.

I will be there solo the same dates Willing2die lol where you staying

Vegas solo is great. Especially when crushing at poker. You can play as long as you want, wherever you want, etc.

But, if you are losing either at poker or in the pit and walk away from the tables, all you see is everyone else around you having the time of their lives.

Until you make friends with these people, and start having the time of your life.

So yeah, Vegas solo is great.

^This 100%. Some of my best trips have been solo. You're not on anyone else's agenda and can come and go as you please. Meeting new people is easy at the tables.

Just be aware of your surroundings like you would be in any other large city and you'll be fine.

I am all for a SOLO group meet somewhere. I'll be in Vegas solo next Friday for the entire month of June, probably longer so if any of you want to meet up for drinks, let's do it.

From a poker playing aspect, going solo has it's pluses, you can spend as much time as you want playing. Some of the social needs can be meet by striking up conversations at the table.

You mentioned safety. If you're sticking the strip, you should be fine. I wouldn't walk off the strip much late at night. For example, if I'm staying at Hard Rock, walking from the strip to the hotel could get a little sketchy. This especially true if I was a solo female.

But overall, should be safe. Some of the casinos are connected and that can keep you off the strip if it's a concern.

Have fun

Plus it's easier to sneak off to the jack shack.

Jack Shack?

RIO. I promised myself I wouldn't stay there again after two bad experiences with hotel staff but I just can't resist not having to take a taxi or walk. I'd have got a room at the Gold Coast if they had any available.

I have done the past 4 trips solo, and had an awesome time each trip. Stay midstrip and you are easy walking distance everywhere. Have fun! I am headed out there again in August, can't wait!
