“One man on a quest” aka “How to make friends and inebriate people”
Okay so I’m going to have a go at this. I’ve a had a blast reading other people’s trip reports (big thumbs up to Brooklyn Marc) on this site so I figured why not have a try at churning out my own, if anything just to re-live what was an epic trip and to remind myself of some lessons (both great and brutal) I learned and amp myself up for the next time (which is December 2015 on Rodeo weekend, seems I can’t get enough!). So this was my third trip to Vegas, and this time I chose to go it alone. First time I was taken there by my buddies, and though it was fun it ended up being more of a chore coz they were not really party people, and the second time it was with my then girlfriend which was its own brand of fun. This was meant to be the revenge trip, where I did Vegas on my own terms and let loose with no holding back. For anyone planning a solo trip, hope you get something out of this, if anything to not make the same mistakes I did. More on this at the end.
The trip was Thurs 24 Sept to Tues 29 Sept and I had planned it down to the minute, booked the MGM and had presale GA tickets for day and night clubs every single day based on advice from JC. I had even scouted out the best places for reasonable eats and drinks during downtime on and near the strip, and tried to get in touch with a few JC members but drunkenness kinda killed that (sorry MA51IV, next time).
