Hi,

Yes I did a trip by myself earlier in the year, I was a bit worried before I went but was reassured by all the great people here that I would be okay and I was.

I loved the fact I could get up and do what I wanted, when I wanted. It didn't stop me doing any of the shows (in fact I saw more this time than when I went with my brother). I still got to do all the things I wanted to do and didn't think twice about it. I got into conversations sat at the slots even when I was eating in restaurants.

One thing to watch out for is a lot of the restaurants will suggest you sit at the bar if your by yourself, just say you'd rather sit at a table and there won't be a problem, however if you go to Gallaghers in NYNY sit at the bar, the bar staff there are really friendly.

Hope that helps in some way, feel free to ask if you have any more questions about it.

The only time I did Vegas solo I got upgraded without asking to a suite-seemed really silly just me rattling around in this enormous two roomed suite but the balcony was nice.

I'd have no problems going solo again (and am thinking about it for later in the year) plenty of couples go off and do different things anyway so you certainly don't stand out like a sore thumb the way you could in other places if that's your concern.

Dont know if its your scene but there's a male strip show called Thunder from Down Under on at Excalibur. Not my cup of tea but am sure a lot of people would think it was a good idea for a hen night!

I am planning my 4th visit to Vegas hopefully April next year. I'm looking for some advice regarding the flight, its soooo long, the thought just fills me with dread, but it just has to be done.

I was thinking about going indirect and was wondering if the flights are less busy so possibly allowing me to have a row to myself and being able to stretch out a bit and have a sleep. I have recently been to Florida and did premium economy, but it was still a nightmare for me.

Also, when will the hotel offers start for April.

Thanks for any advice.
