Is vegas fun if your not really into gambling?

Question

There are five of us girls who are wanting to plan a vacation for next summer but don't know where to go!!! some want to go to vegas but i was wondering if there is actually a lot to do if were not really into gambling!!! any ideas of fun vacations spots...we will all be 21 so no worries there and we are looking for somewhere with clubs and fun places like that? any suggestions or reasons not to go to vegas?

Answer 1

Not really I mean there is horse back riding, water-parks and yeah of course gambling. there are some good shows but in my opinion its kind of sleaz(no offense). I do i have to say though the casinos are nice and the shows and food are good.

If not Las Vegas i would suggest Mexico or maybe St. Martin. They are both beautiful and there is alot to do, but Mexico is more PARTY than St. Martin.

                  Hope I helped :]

Answer 2

no

but its fun if you like to club or drink etc.  

Answer 3

Vegas is a great time!! I would definitly recommend five girls to come here!

There is so much more to do than gamble..Pools,Clubs,Bars,Lounges.

If booking in advance there is often great deals on nice rooms and you might even be able to find some show deals. You ladies will have a blast if you come here, just hanging out at the casino is fun..but Vegas is home to some of the hottest clubs in the country!!!!!!!

Answer 4

Yeap, spas, shows, shopping, eating a good places. Site seeing checking out the new hotels..

Answer 5

As long as you enjoy partying, its still a great city.

The people i dont understand are the ones who dont gamble, dont drink, dont enjoy being in the sun, and dont like to party that still come to Vegas. Then they dont understand why they didnt like it.

But simply not being a gamble will only somewhat limit your vegas fun. You can still drink, hang out by the pools, hit the clubs and bars, and have a great time.

Answer 6

You can have fun without spending any on gambling.  Check out www.lasvegsnow.com

I would suggest Mandalay Bay with a fantastic pool and a lazy river, clubs, Shark Reef, nice buffet, and you can take a free tram or walk in a crossover to Luxor/pyramid and then Excalibur/castle, and across the street to Tropicana or MGM Grand or NYNY and Monte Carlo

Answer 7

There is no better place for you to party than Vegas.  Palms is always a young person hot spot.  If you are age 25 and under that is one of the main places to go.  Since it is a girls night out thing, I suggest you purchase tickets to see Thunder from Down Under at Excalibur.  Get a hotel on the strip and purchase monorail tickets for the Las Vegas Monorail so you don't have any transportation issues.  Then just surf the web for parties, clubs, and entertainment.  You can get same day tickets for up to 30% off at the Discount Ticket Booths but if you have one show you just have to see buy those tickets in advance.  I suggest you find a good spa, most hotels have one but Canyon Valley Ranch in Venetian is world famous, and have a spa day.  Of course there is lots of things to see in hotels and the shopping is amazing.  Helicopter Neon Light flights over the strip are available, as are Hoover Dam tours, desert hummer rides, river rafting and Horseback riding.  Have a wonderful time.  And make sure you go to Madamn Tusseaud's Wax Museum.

Answer 8

Heck, yes!  My sister tried to tell me for years that I'd enjoy Vegas, but I didn't buy it because I don't enjoy gambling.  Then we met there to rent a car and go see our Dad and in one short evening before my flight out, I was hooked!  Just walking up one side of the Strip and back down the other was amazing and I knew I had to go back.  Anyone can find something to do in Vegas or within a short drive.  The hotel/casino complexes are fun to gawk at, there's plenty of shopping, dining is covered from cheap to luxury, spas abound, they have some of the best clubs in the U.S., and some major natural attractions are within driving distance.  I've been on the XScream at the top of the Stratosphere, had a fantastic massage at Elemis Spa, been rock scrambling in Red Rock Canyon, had steak tartare and Dover sole at Prime followed by a performance of "O" at the Bellagio, shopped for shoes and makeup, had crepes at the Paris and a dessert burger at the Burger Bar in Mandalay Bay, seen the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage, and enjoyed a dozen of the Bellagio's fountain shows, among other things.  There's lots to do for free if you're on a budget, but plenty of ways to splurge if you're so inclined.  If you want to get into the clubs, dress to impress.  If you're going to walk the Strip, wear comfortable shoes and sunscreen and buy water for cheap at Walgreens, because it's three dollars a bottle in the casinos.

Answer 9

Gambling helps the casinos pay for all the glitter, for the outlandish pool areas, for the great shows, dining, clubs, etc., etc.

If you don't gamble, you're way ahead and are going to have a whale of a good time without tossing away the average $500 gambling losses per tourist that the casinos count on to support all the rest of the attractions (that they offer to bring in the gamblers).

Answer 10

go to curcis curcis there

Answer 11

Oh 4 sure!!!!

My best friend and I are going again next week and neither of us gamble.

Five girls..you'll have a blast shopping!!! Some of the best around..you've got Forum Shops, Wynn, Canal Shops @ Venetian and Miracle Mile @ Planet hollywood (more affordable stores) I hear Fashion Mall is pretty decent as well but.....to me me it just seems like any average large mall I can get anywhere (like Chicago)

Book a hotel that has a good pool and you girls can hang there during the day too.

Lots of great restaurants for lunch or dinner and then the clubs...OMG!!!

You'll have so much fun!

Like said my best friend and I have a blast when we go and never gamble..well unless it's the end of night and we've met some guys who want us to gamble with them on their $$

Answer 12

Go to all the hotels on the strip.

Vist ceasars placae & take the gandala rides :)

Answer 13

I don't drink or gamble but I love this town. Before moving here a couple of years ago, I use to vacation here at least twice a year for 15 years. It is the uniqueness of the city. The energy that the city emits in the visitors. Plus it is geared for adults and no matter what you like to do, you can do it hear. Open 24/7. Come and have fun .... you will love it.

Answer 14

Definitely can have fun without gambling.  The link I posted in the source is a video that will give you a ton of info on everything Vegas from clubs to restaurants, so no worries, and have fun!!

Answer 15

According to the convention bureau one visitor in eight doesn't gamble at all and about one person in eight gambles less than $100 for their entire trip. So that means that about 10 million people a year are coming to Vegas and gambling less than $100 per trip.

------------

A lot of people come to swim in a fancy pool, go clubbing, eat in one of the most amazing collection of restaurants in the world, and shop in the boutiques. Many people just throw a few bucks in a slot machine hoping to win a car or get lucky and pay for their trip.

------------

The two casinos that are very geared at adults in their 20's are Palms and Hard Rock. Both of these casinos are about a mile off the strip (in different directions) However, the room rates at these places can be steep, especially on weekends. The cheap casino across the street from Hard Rock is called Terribles, and the cheap casino across the street from The Palms is called Gold Coast.

Answer 16

Personally I would go to New York. It is amazing, I'm in the same boat, I don't like to gamble so I've just been going to NYC when I get the chance. But friends tell me that Vegas is good for the shows, like O or Ka. Apparently those are names of shows. ? I would hit up the clubs, 5 girls that calls for some hot nights. A word to the wise, stay close together and have your cell phones handy. My friend just went with like 5 girls and they're not talking anymore. Lots of drama b/c some of the girls left with guys and ditched them. Just know what your getting into and plan ahead of time. Have fun!

Answer 17

each time I've been to Vegas, I hardly gamble. just too much stuff to do to waste time in a casino. Clubs, shows, attractions...

To get an idea on things to do, check out vegas.com

also there are some pass cards available on line. They include admission to attractions and discounts for shopping.  

Answer 18

Vegas is the perfect place to go for clubbing. There's so much to do there w/o having to gamble. You can go to shows, just walk around, there's tons of shopping too! Make sure you visit Fat Tuesday!!  

Answer 19
