I booked a solo trip to Vegas for later this week. I'm leaving Wednesday and am super excited for some much-needed Lexi Time (no masturbation jokes, please).
Between 2001 and 2005 I went to Vegas more times than I can count -- my BFF used to live there and it's the cheapest possible vacay -- but this will actually be my first time staying in a Downtown hotel versus a Strip hotel or someone's condo.
I'm pretty well over the Strip, though. Musical fountains, blah, blah blah. The initial wow feeling of walking through those giant casino hotels doesn't last long and the clubs are somewhat boring to this aging gal. I'll still go to The Wynn for one night, though, if just to have dinner at Bartolotta.
Yum, I'm totally salivating already.
How sad is it that I've NEVER been to Vegas. Though, to be fair, I've never seen the appeal of gambling - seems to me that if I just set my money on fire and watched it burn, it'd be just as much fun and have the same result.
That being said, I'd love to go, because, woot! Strippers!

I went once, but gambling had nothing to do with it.
Actually, now that I think about it, I guess it kinda did.

Well, of course not. You didn't mention tanning booths anywhere.

I'm not a gambler, but every time I've happened to drop quarter in a poker machine, I've won it back. I'm scared to keep playing, though, because gambling just doesn't make sense to my brain.
I've never seen strippers in Vegas but maybe they're Downtown? Like I said, this will be the first time I'll be there for the majority of my stay.

Just got back yesterday from a few days in Vegas. It was GORGEOUS! 65 and sunny everyday.
Had dinner at Grotto in the Golden Nugget Downtown. Everybody loved there food, and the price wasn't bad.
Shock of shocks, there is a strip club downtown.
Have fun!

Have a great trip. Take some pictures so you can at least remind us what warm weather looks like! And don't forget your singles if you go to the strip club. :)

My latest trip to Vegas consisted of a road trip with my buddy from pre-school. We drove from Minneapolis to San Francisco to meet up with some of our friends and then from SFO to Vegas.
It was one of the best trips i have taken in a long time. It was such a rare opportunity and an unbelievable trip, in the sense that, we never thought growing up that we would have reunion in Vegas. Can you imagine a bunch of friends from a semi-small city in India having a conversation about a reunion after all these years, in Vegas. This city holds a special spot in my heart.
Have fun and don't hesitate to stop at http://www.gandhicuisine.com/About.aspx if you are craving for some Indian food.
