First Time To Vegas For Leisure, 22 Traveling Solo - Suggestions?!

[Adam Haroun]

Hey everyone,

Wow am I glad to have found this forum...looking for info on my upcoming Vegas trip and it looks like I've hit the motherload.

So - in a nutshell - I'm heading to Sin City later next month (November 23-28) for leisure prior to a business trip in LA; and traveling solo.

Definitely looking to meet new people while here, and hit up Krave at least a couple times, so trying to figure out which resort is going to be best for a young open-minded crowd and proximity to everything.

I would say PH gets first consideration...would maybe want to check out the Cosmo too but I think the main thing I'd be looking for in a hotel is the crowd it attracts.

I've been to Vegas twice before but wasn't able to stay on the Strip since I wasn't of age at the time - but checked out the Wynn and the Venetian for events I was attending. Also any tips on where the "$20 sandwich" might work better than others, how to score a deal, etc. I'd love to hear.

Thanks in advance!

Totally depends on your budget, if you can afford it stay at Cosmo (especially if you can afford a room with a patio). The crowd is almost identical between PH and Cosmo, of course cosmo with Marquee draws massive crowds on weekend nights. I like to think of Cosmo as a "chaotic luxury hotel" because it really is a shit show from the moment you check in til you check out, there is constantly a party, its loud, young and wild, yet you get to hang your hat in a "5 star" hotel room as well. Thats my .02.

The $20 sandwich might have to be a $40+ sandwich to get anything major at cosmo. Look at the "how to get cosmo cheap" thread to see how you can get it for a very reasonable rate.

Yeah it sounds like Cosmo or PH will be your best bet...

If you're looking to gamble then I would definitely choose PH over Cosmo just due to the fact that Cosmo gambling atmosphere is dead.

I actually liked the atmosphere at the Venetian as well and during the fall/winter they run pretty low rates. You can usually see lots of younger people on the weekends because of Tao walking all over the casino floor but not as much as you would at Cosmo.

$20 sandwich worked for me at Monte Carlo, but you're probably looking to stay somewhere more upscale.
