Friend got stuck at an airport for days due to bad weather and I arrived Las Vegas on time
Starting out
With no experience of travelling alone, I felt lonely and a little scared about roaming around alone in the city
Las Vegas , nicknamed "Sin city" , doesn't feel and sound very safe, travelling alone seems a little risky
I was getting bored in a hotel the whole day, wanted to try something new and experience what it's like to travel alone without any companions
Did a little planning and rundown of the places I would like to visit
Experiences / travel itenary
Took an uber to capital one cafe at Fashion Show Mall, did a little work there and eased into my solo travelling journey (Capital one holders get discounted coffees)
Walked to Wynn hotels and casinos, wondered what people do in their lives to have the means to spend on designer branded items when I'm just a broke college student
Walked to different casinos and hotels just to see their architecture, different casinos have different minimum bets
Under the hot and scorching sun, I head off to Kimchee, a korean BBQ restaurant for dinner
Took another uber back to gold coast hotel and decided to end the day with a small gambling and bowling session
Detailed thoughts
Walking without any companion feels very liberating, I control the pace of my walks and I can head to whatever location that piques my interest.
Often times while travelling with others, I don't have the chance to stop and take in the views of my environment. Taking a moment to rest and stand on the sidewalk of Las Vegas strip allows me to "live in the moment". It feels so good to just observe how people interact at a distance, looking at the buzzling traffic and other activities that are currently ongoing on the strip.
Eating alone at a restaurant is a similar experience as well. I don't have to rush my dinner and I can order just the right amount of food for myself.
