Going out alone in Vegas

[vegasjanuary]

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone has ever gone out alone in Vegas and what it was like!

I'll preface by saying I'm a 21 year old female. My parents are thinking about driving to Vegas with my aunt and younger <21 cousins over Christmas. I'm totally down to do family stuff with them during the day, but I think it'd be such a waste to be in Vegas and NOT go out at night... is it totally weird to be out alone? Especially as a female? I'd probably try to get an open bar wristband somewhere (Tao? don't know where else has this for females) and hopefully meet people (guys, haha) to hang/party with.

Anyway, would just love some feedback on this, or some stories/reports from people who have gone out alone in Vegas.

Single {--walking in alone--} hot girls dressed seductively set off my prostitution radar every time.
Sometimes I'm right sometimes I'm wrong.

Just saying.

I'm sure some guys won't mind that though.

Yeah I'd line up some folks to meet up with prior to heading out. JC'ers are generally good folks, the buddy system is always best in Vegas.

I think it really depends on what you wanna do. I've gone for family and business and have gone out by myself: I saw Steve Aoki the first time, and Benny Benassi another time. If you're just down to go dance and have fun, I don't see anything wrong with going by yourself. Since you are a girl, and will most likely be getting in through a guestlist, just think of it as a free show. However, I do feel Chuck is right. It is always more fun going with a friend and JC members are wonderful people. Either way, I hope you have a wonderful time!

why not? its vegas!!! BUT...i think it does make sense to take extra precautions when your out alone. make sure you know where your drinks are coming from and do not leave them unattended. drink plenty of water and know your limits.

Last time out there I went with my buddy and he decided to be a huge vagina for most of the trip and not go out. There was no way I was allowing that to slow me down.

I contacted a few hosts (Christian Gutterres @ The Bank, Greg Costello @ HYDE) on two separate nights, told them that I was alone and wanted to go out and have a good time and they let me bypass the line and pay a reduced cover.

You'll meet people. It's Vegas; everyone is there to have a good time. My mind is always blown by how friendly people are out there at the clubs. Definitely nothing like the assholes here in Pittsburgh or the "guidos" out in Atlantic City.

I'm actually doing a solo trip on the 13th. I can't wait!

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to meet some JCers in the meet-up section of the forums. You can meet lots of people while you're out there as well. It turned one of my trips from a 3 guy trip to a 3 guy trip + 10 girls from a birthday party trip.

Just be weary of the creepers.

I laughed at this one.

It's not weird, but as a 21 year old girl on your own you should be careful. I'd recommend checking out the meet up forum and see if there's maybe some people you can go with.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I'll post on the get connected forum...

I have to agree with the sentiments of the men. Unfortunately, as vagina bearers we have an additional set of things to worry about when going out alone. Often, just being alone and a young woman, you get a lot of people playing "is that a prostitute?". Especially if you're sitting at a bar alone for any length of time. It puts a bit of a target on your back, which is an unfortunately sad truth.

If you do go out alone, I suggest you remain sober. Best to have your wits about you. Meeting people off the forums is a great tool, and we haven't had any "stranger danger" as far as meet ups from the forum are concerned, but treat it how you would treat meeting anyone off the Internet or a club.

Bring the bff if you can. I ended up being the bff my friend brought on a parent's trip and it was so fucking fun! But most of all, hope you have fun!

I was in Las Vegas this past weekend, essentially by myself. But, that didn't stop me. It helps that I'm a guy, that I consider myself a social person and that I've had the opportunity to meet some really great people this weekend that I've met in the past and just this weekend (HunterDallas, astro148+1, Augustine, livingvicariously+1, DeX and NoahRam). Like aria said, most of the people you meet on here are decent people.

But, I think it will definitely be a bonus (primarily as a female for safety and nothing else) if you brought a friend. If you can't bring someone of age, then I still say go out, but above all be safe.

Anyone around early Feb want to party or I get to run solo?

I'm a guy and always go solo to Vegas but like to meet a lot of people. Being a female, I wouldn't go out alone. There are a LOT of great people on this forum. I have met up with them a number of times and had a blast. With that said though I would still exchange some PM's first to get to know a bit about them and agree to meet earlier in the evening in a public place. Don't be afraid to bail it if doesn't look right.

Another idea would be to go on one of these party bus services aka club crawls. I recommend the vegascrawl.com. It doesn't go to the hottest clubs but you will meet a lot of people and the staff are really cool. I went once when my other plans feel through and met a ton of awesome people.

Good luck!
