Personally no, However I'm sure you would want to stick with the Chinese Japanese or w/e they are ones.

Do not let a cab take you to one, I know that for sure.

Spring mountain probably a good street to find a couple.

This is crazy talk.

I've been to Vegas about 30 times, about half of them solo. I prefer solo for the reasons mentioned already. You can come and go as you want, get up when you want, go to bed when you want, play poker for as long as you want.

If you go with a girlfriend or wife, you can forget about the marathon poker sessions. Why, because you've got to meet them for dinner, a show, a trip to the mall, etc. When they want to go to bed at 11pm, you have to go back to the room with them because they can't go alone.

No thank you. Once in awhile is OK, but for the most part, I'll take the solo trips.

P.S. This post made me think of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suAhGfVr_4U

Re: Ever Do The Vegas Poker Trip Solo?

I'm going solo as well...for many of the same reasons you guys mentioned. Most of my friends are not going to want to play poker while there. I went last year a couple days solo b4 my friends bachelor and had a great time. Going June 7 to June 18 this year. So give me a shout if anybody wants to meet up and shoot the ****.

Kinda want to know the cheapest place near aria or the wynn for a safe deposit box. Also if anybody wants to share a hotel room to save on cost around that time let me know

Kenneth O. Stimpson, owner of a suspected clip joint where a tourist was stabbed early Sunday morning, was arrested Thursday on a racketeering count, Metro Police said.

At about 5 a.m. Sunday, police responded to a report of a stabbing at Red Devil Fitness Spa, 3430 Polaris Ave. A 25 year-old British tourist was discovered with multiple wounds to his abdomen and head, and he was transported to University Medical Center.

Its too easy to just eat at the poker tables or in the deli.
No such thing as too much poker in vegas solo...Its the only time you can pull 40 hour sesh's without the wife getting mad. You can always eat at the poker table... and get a massage at the table with your comps.

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?
Stay on the strip and out of secluded spots and you'll be fine. And if you hear the words, hi sweetie etc respond at your own peril lol

solicitation is rampant in vegas... I don't even pay attention and indeed cast a disgusted gaze when it does happen.

I didn't have a much fun as I should have when I went solo. I think I had too much going on back home for me to truly be comfortable. When I wasn't playing, I felt terribly restless. So, lesson learned?

Re: Ever Do The Vegas Poker Trip Solo?

Going solo is a great time! You can do everything on your own schedule, play and venture around as you like, and don't feel tied to anyone else's wants or needs.

Hope you enjoy yourself.

You just need to find an understanding, fellow poker player of the opposite gender as you get the best of both worlds.
