Traveling Solo in Vegas
Traveling Solo in Vegas
The so-called “solo vacation” is very chic right now. As fun as it is to party with a group, there is something liberating and empowering about entering a hotel room where you have everything to yourself. Women and men recognize that you can have as much fun solo as you can with friends, loved ones, or family.
There are a ton of great solo destinations for travelers. However, today we will focus on the City of Sin, Las Vegas. The gambling and entertainment capital of the United States, Las Vegas, is an excellent place to visit for anyone who wants to take some time for themselves. If you do choose Las Vegas as your destination, there are some things you need to bear in mind.
Manage Your Gambling Expenses
While gambling is not all Las Vegas has to offer, most of us are going there for the casinos. The gambling industry is gaining popularity, and many more people are becoming interested in the practice. However, some jump headfirst into the world without proper research. We are saying that before gambling in Vegas, learn how to manage your gambling expenses.
Before you even enter the casino, set up your bankroll. The bankroll should always be an amount you are willing and able to lose. Once you’ve done that, you must plan the size of wagers on table games like blackjack. We recommend reading a blackjack bankroll strategy guide before you start wagering. Doing so will go a long way toward helping you in making better decisions.
Find Some Entertainment for the Road
Whether you are traveling by car or plane, a trip to Vegas might be long and uneventful. Preparing for the trip might also include finding entertainment for the road. Music is always excellent. However, the podcast business is quickly growing in 2023. There are a ton of awesome podcasts that appeal to women, from severe political discussions to light-hearted and feel-good shows.
You can also get some gaming apps on your phone. There are a ton of money-free casino apps that will not only entertain you but also prepare you for Las Vegas. Money-free casinos are similar to online ones, except you don’t have to put down any real-money deposits. So, in a way, they serve as training wheels for up-and-coming gamblers who want to try gambling for the first time. In 2023, some of the best casino games are online, though it is worth noting that the experience of playing on apps differs significantly from face-to-face gambling.
Being Safe is a Priority
Traveling solo can be scary. So, the first thing you will want to do is research the safest places to be. Time your travel, so you arrive at your destination during the day. It is much less likely for anything sketchy to happen in broad daylight. Research the safest destinations, neighborhoods, etc., and find accommodation there. It might be a bit pricier, but it is worth your safety.
Another thing you will want to research, which some people don’t think about, is the scams prevalent in the city. Taxi scams are commonplace in most big US cities, and Las Vegas is no exception. So, research the fastest route from the airport to your hotel, and ask the cabby to follow that route. There are many other tourist traps and scams you can fall prey to on the Strip, so make sure you’ve researched the area properly before setting foot there.
Gambling is not all
Gambling is not the only thing that Las Vegas has to offer. Yes, casinos and the strip are most commonly associated with Sin City. However, Vegas is also home to some of the most beautiful and challenging hiking destinations. For any outdoors woman, we will go over some of the best hiking destinations in the city.
Most will agree that the Calico Tank Trail is the best place to start. At 3.5 kilometers, the route is challenging but possible for even casual hikers. It will lead you to some beautiful sites, give you great exercise, and, best of all, you can bring your furry friend, as the trail is dog-friendly. And if the Calico isn’t your thing, you can choose one of the following trails as an excellent substitute:
- Pine Creek Canyon
- First Creek Canyon
- Lone Mountain Loop
- Upper Bristlecone
- Cathedral Rock
Travelling solo can be a great way to have fun and find yourself. If Las Vegas is your chosen holiday destination, we hope this article can help you better navigate your solo vacation. Just remember, staying safe should be your top priority. Anything else comes second.
