2 days in Vegas by myself.. what should I do that isn't typical Vegas? Empty 2 days in Vegas by myself.. what should I do that isn't typical Vegas?

Post by Other Teams Pursuing That Thu Feb 13, 2020 10:17 pm

Going to Vegas in late March, going to extend my trip by 2 nights while the rest head home.. what should I do that may be out of the typical vegas sphere (that I will be indulging in plenty while the group is together)? Golf? Some bullshit outside the city? Should I just continue the hookers and blow? Some type of show?

For context, I've only been to vegas twice and it's been the same shit, which I enjoy - but I figure with 2 days I might as well try something different, maybe.

Thanks in advance, swill.

Rent a car and

•Go to the Hoover Dam;
•Do some day trekking in Valley of Fire SP or others listed below;
•Go wander the South Rim of that big hole in the ground;

Then we have these recs, which seem fun:

Buy one of those neon t-shirts that say:
“Girls direct to you” and stand on the strip harassing tourists by shoving fliers in their faces.

We were at the edge of the desert when the drugs finally took effect. I looked at my lawyer who was pouring beer on his chest to facilitate the tanning process. All of the sudden I started screaming BATS BATS all over there were bats.......

I’d probably go the Liberace Museum and the National atomic energy museum. I like odd museums everynow and then. When I was at niagra falls I went to the daredevil museum where they had a complete history of all the foolish stunts and actual barrels that people went over the falls in.

Some of this has already been mentioned
- Hoover Dam, it's fairly close and you can do the tour in 1/2 day, the new bridge is pretty cool to (the old bridge IS the dam)
- Red Rock Canyon, again fairly close
- some nice courses there, if you golf

longer excursions
- Grand Canyon, national park - just over a 4 hour drive
- Grand Canyon glass skywalk - just over 2 hour drive, Indian Reservation
- Zion National Park - about 2 1/2 hour drive, if you go I recommend leaving through Zion Mt Carmel Tunnel
- Bryce Canyon - just over 4 hour drive
you could drive to both Zion and Bryce, but it wouldn't leave you much time to see them

I echo the other suggestions.

I don’t know if you have done this or not , but one of the things I like doing in Vegas is just walking the strip and people watching. It’s so entertaining, you get exercise, and can grab a drink while doing it.

Also, you could collect all the hooker cards they hand out, and mail them to a friend.

If you’re going to do any gambling, old Vegas is easier to win. Payouts aren’t as high, but the tables and slots are looser.

I haven't booked my stay for the other 2 nights, maybe I'll look into that. Pretty sure I've been there and the minimum bets were also more my style. Also, fuck slots.
