Viva Las Vegas! It’s one of those places that you have to visit at least once in your life, but careful not to stay too long. Las Vegas is great! It’s a perfect weekend getaway, because you’ll run out of your savings if you stay any longer haha. Its located pretty centrally in the west. If you were in California, Arizona, or Utah, you could easily make this weekend trip happen.
I’ve been a couple of times, but most notably, for my 21st Birthday!
Believe it or not, I actually won a little money! Vegas is awesome because if you are gambling in the casino, you drinks are free!
Good thing the strip stays alive all night long. Most of the year, its the only bearable time to be outside. Almost every time I’ve gone, its been in the 100s while I was there. Its perfect for lounging by the pools, but not ideal for walking around and seeing all the hotels.
All in all, what I’ve learned about Vegas:
- Don’t stay to long
- Go in the off season so you don’t melt (and you can get better deals on hotels)
- Don’t bet all your money in one place – and don’t bet money you can’t afford to lose (I personally brought $200 that I was prepared to lose. That way if I lose it, fine. But if I win, AWESOME!)
- Be prepared to pay an arm and a leg for food…. but keep in mind that the food is amazing!
- Keep a cool head and have an amazing time!
