As September draws to a close, so does Vegas Month here at SoloFriendly.com. I believe I’ve covered most aspects of my recent trip to Vegas, including hotels, restaurants, socializing, the Star Trek Experience Decommissioning Ceremony, and new things I did. All that’s left are the miscellaneous notes from my journal that didn’t fall under previous [...]

Because my primary activity in Vegas is sightseeing (rather than gambling), and because I’ve made so many trips to Vegas in the past, when I’m planning a trip, I try to focus on doing lots of new things as well as the handful of old standbys, like the Bellagio Fountain Show.  As there was a [...]

When I tell people that I travel alone, I often get one of two reactions:  “Wow, you are so brave!” or “Aren’t you lonely?”  I don’t consider myself especially brave, but if you want to, that’s cool with me.  I did worry about loneliness before I finally decided to just go by myself.  Now I [...]

During my recent Vegas trip, I split my stay between two hotels–MGM and Harrahs.  By most people’s standards, MGM is the superior hotel.  Going into my trip, I knew the two hotel stays would be very different, and they were.  But not in the way I thought.  Overall, I actually enjoyed my stay at Harrahs [...]

We brought baseballs.  Lots of baseballs.  There were baseballs lining the bar, baseballs in a blue bucket in front of the bar.  I didn’t read any of them, except my own, but I can imagine what they said.  Things like “Thanks for ten years of wonderful memories,” “Thank you for giving me a place where [...]
