I\u2019ve been lucky enough to visit Las Vegas six times<\/strong>, and on two occasions I travelled solo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had travelled alone on a beach holiday before, but never taken on a 9\u201310 hour flight to Las Vegas by myself<\/strong>. I didn\u2019t take the responsibility lightly. I spent countless hours thinking about what a week alone in somewhere so iconic would feel like, and whether I\u2019d feel lonely or out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you actually book the trip, there\u2019s no turning back. The nervous energy kicks in \u2014 mixed with excitement. Telling people you\u2019re going to Vegas is one thing, but when you add that you\u2019re going alone<\/strong>, the reactions are priceless. Open-mouthed stares are common, followed by: \u201cFair play to you!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotel Selection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotel choice in Las Vegas is everything<\/strong>, and even more so when travelling alone. You want to be somewhere central, where you can walk easily rather than constantly figuring out transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, a mid-Strip hotel<\/strong> is essential. I\u2019ve stayed at Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino - A Caesars Rewards Destination<\/a><\/strong> and Bally\u2019s Horseshoe Las Vegas Center Strip Hotel & Casino - A Caesars Rewards Destination<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 both perfect locations right in the heart of the action, with most places walkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $20 Tip at Reception<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve done this twice\u2026 and it worked both times.
On one occasion, I opened my curtains in the morning to a floor-to-ceiling view of the Bellagio fountains<\/strong>. Bellagio Resort & Casino | Luxury Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip<\/a>. Worth every dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety is always something to consider when travelling to another country \u2014 especially somewhere like Las Vegas, and especially alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across all my visits, I\u2019ve never had any issues<\/strong> and have never felt unsafe. I stick to simple rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
