I am an admitted Vegas nut, and after years of contemplating taking that “solo” trip to Sin City, I have finally given in to temptation and decided to do it. I have never gone to the movies alone, or even dinner by myself, so the idea of traveling across country solo should bother me, but in reality, I’m pumped.

I'll be staying at The Plaza Hotel and Casino off Fremont St. in downtown Las Vegas. Old school, blue collar Vegas, just the way I want it. Nobody telling me to stop gambling, when to sleep, stop drinking, what to eat, or where to be. It’s just me, my small bankroll, and old school Vegas. I’m pretty sure Ill be broke by 6 pm, and asleep by 8 the first night. 

For anyone who is as addicted to this neon filled town as I am, I wanted to offer some links to my favorite websites with Vegas info and mind numbing crap.
 
http://lasvegasadvisor.com/ - Some of this is members only, but a lot of useful information about cheap rooms, deals, and daily information. Check out the QOD section too.
 
http://cheapovegas.com/index.php - Reviews of every hotel/casino in Vegas, and off strip joints too. Written very tongue in cheek.
 
http://www.vegastodayandtomorrow.com/ - Updates about projected mega resorts, and pics of old school Vegas too.
 
http://bigeyeinthesky.com/Default.asp?CID=Las_Vegas - Amazing panoramic 360 degree views of Vegas properties.
 
If you have some other, feel free to email me with them. Till then, Viva Las Vegas…

Re: Vegas For One?

Sounds like a great trip, I have gone to Vegas many times including a few solo trips. I will put together a list of my URLs and send them to you. A couple of quick tips.

Avoid renting a car. Taxi bills will be close to a weekend rental rate, plus no chance of a DUI. Not to mention traffic and parking is a nightmare.

Downtown is not considered to be as safe as The Strip. I would try to stay on Fremont Street only after dark. (the street with a light show)
