Upon completing the group trip, I feel bad for not having gone by myself. Too much petty crap that normal people like to do, like shopping/eating/slots/drinking/being too lazy to walk anywhere.
I'ma try to go solo most of the time from now on.
I'm a bit older than most here with different points of views on things so take my opinion with a grain of salt. There were certainly positives on going solo. Getting up when I wanted and going straight to what I wanted to do is chief among them. Eating when and where I want was a bigger plus than I thought it would be and, for me at least, not picking a hotel based on amenities I won't use was nice.
Mostly I would say Vegas solo is a great time and I did have a great time, there were moments when it would have been nice to be with family/friends. When you've gambled all you want in a given day and just want to hang out it sucks being by yourself. Rooting in the back half of a nice paraly is better with friends than solo, for sure.
It was cool doing things on my own schedule, but there were times it would have been more fun to share those things with others.
All in I would go back solo if nobody in the family/circle of friends wants to go, but I think I prefer some company, YMMV.
