No real concern for safety. Like any city, pay attention and be smart. But if you%26#39;re on the strip, you%26#39;re pretty safe.

Do whatever you want. Enjoy a great meal. Gamble. Take in a show. Vegas is a great city to go solo. I have done it several times and very much enjoyed it.

4 days in vegas alone: what to do?

I%26#39;m going solo in october. My friend I was supposed to go to vegas with bailed out due to job. It going to be my first time going solo in vegas. Am looking forward to it cuz I know there%26#39;s so much to do, and so little time to see everything.

It%26#39;s very safe on the strip, no need to worry, just pay attention of your surroundings but I never had any problems. Paris is connected to Bally%26#39;s thru an inside walkway which is nice, you have 2 casinos in one. Paris has a lot of great options for eating, you could go %26amp; see a show. Paris is in a good area where there are lots of people on the strip at all times. Have a great time %26amp; don%26#39;t worry!!!!

if you get lonely go across the street to Bellagio and start playing a $5 VP machine in the main casino (not high limit). You will be offered lots of company.

I almost always go alone because I prefer it that way- female/solo. I have been on the trip, downtown, off strip both during the day and at night and nothing- absolutely nothing- bad has happened to me. And I have been in Vegas over 700 days. As long as you use common sense you will be fine. It is as safe as any other major city.

Do not let the fact that you are alone in any way prevent you from doing anything you want to do. Pretend you are with other people and plan accordingly. Some people eat at the bar, use room service or go to buffet when they have to eat alone. I feel I deserve better. I will eat at the cheapies alone but I will also eat at the more expensive restaurants alone- and at a table.

What can you do? Gamble, drink, see shows, see the attractions, eat at some great restaurants, go to the clubs, go on some of the rides, have some spa treatments, sit in the lounges and listen to some great music for the price of a drink or so. In other words- do whatever you feel like doing and what anyone else- alone or with others- would do. You have an advantage- you don%26#39;t have to consult with others about what to do- you are on your own schedule.

Disregard your mother%26#39;s advice- talk to strangers. People in Vegas are very friendly and love to talk about themselves and where they come from. It is easy to make temporary friends while there if you give people a chance.

So- start looking for some restaurants you want to eat at,some lounges and bars (Carnaval Court and Dueling Pianos at Harrah%26#39;s are fun)you want to visit, some shows you want to see (I would suggest Mystere or Love) and some attractions you would like to see.

Just popping in and out of the various casinos at night will take a good chunk of your time. Do NOT remain in your hotel- go out and explore the strip to the fullest! You will have a blast!

I agree with all the other posters. I (female) have been to Vegas by myself several times and usually stay at either Ballys or Flamingo (same general area as Paris). By all means do enjoy Paris%26#39; property but do get out. I had a wonderful dinner one night at Mesa Grill at Caesars (upscale) and did sit a the bar..but that was my preference..and it proved right...the bartenders there go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and comfortable and you do strike up conversations with others at the bar. Don%26#39;t be afraid to talk to folks. I also sat at the bar and watched karaoke and dueling piano gals (the twins) for hours..while playing video poker. This place can start to feel like a ';pick up'; place at night, but no one was ever rude or didn%26#39;t understand ';no thank you';. Forum Shops at Caesars is a must and the Fashion Mall is good too but more everyday mall-ish. Carnival Court, if it%26#39;s busy I%26#39;d stroll through, but may not hang around for long at night time...just too loud and usually lots of drinks have flowed by then. Margaritaville is a definite hang out spot and this place I choose the bar to eat and drink, even when my husband is with me. Definitely take in the foutains at Bellagio and generally walk through as many casinos as you can. See the conservatory at Bellagio. At Harrahs you can have a dinner at Toby Keith%26#39;s Bar and Grill and be very comfortable alone..either a the bar or a table. Really, the only I%26#39;d recommend avoiding is an ultra night club. For good music and even dancing (certainly Ok to dance solo to the right song and crowded floor)..but don%26#39;t leave your purse in the chair if you go do the Electric Slide ;) have fun...

Your best bet would be to stay up all night drinking. This will make the congress more tolerable.

Las Vegas is one of the top tourist destinations in the World for good reason. You will see once you get here that there are not enough hours in the day to do what you want.

Best of Luck.

as long as you have your wits about you(not drinking too much)you will be fine..i 2nd everything vp03 says and know you will have a blast..your conference will get in the way of your FUN!! enjoy!
