I'm going to Vegas partially for business and then to have a few days vacation afterwards. I'm recently out of a long term relationship, in my early 40s, and looking to meet up with women in their thirties and forties to hang out with and have fun. Where do people recommend I go? I'll be staying at Planet Hollywood for the first few nights and then the Cosmopolitan for the next few nights after business is finished. Personally I have found Vegas a terrible place to meet women as a solo traveller.
This is mainly because of two reasons, as I see it:. Most people in Vegas are there for a purpose - maybe in groups, or there are a lot of couples, doing their own thing. The kind of places where you might find people to "chat up", are not the kind of places I would be comfortable going to on my own i.
Single women are everywhere, they just walk down the street. Just go up and speak to them, it's quite simple. I have not been single in a while but I can't imagine it's changed much. I had a lot of husband-free time during a recent trip, and was surprised pleasantly at my age! The worst was in the hotel elevator Seriously? I have nowhere to run! The best was in the shuttle between Mandalay Bay and Excalibur during the day with lots of people around. It's all about the context my friend.
If you're respectful and at least appear somewhat sober, no harm no foul. Have fun! Unless you're planning on paying by the hour, the ones that actually hit on you are probably working girls. My suggestion would be to find a fun bar or hang out at the pool and keep your eye out for obvious tourists.
You don't necessarily have to find a solo female. Your chances are probably better and you'll avoid accidentally hiring a prostitute if you look for small groups of women of 3 or 4 there together. Having had several girls trips over the decades though, if you pick out one from a group of two, you probably won't get anywhere as its unlikely she'd leave her friend by herself. Likewise when I traveled solo, I was a little nervous about making conversation with strange men I met randomly. Nobody looking out for me and all that.
