Been out there once a year the last 5 years. Bored with the club scene out there. Live 90 minutes from A.C. so I can go there and I bet sports on line. Any one else considering not going back for a few years?

I have been not going to Vegas every year for the last 5 years. Then every July I am walking thru McCarren with my luggage. I must say that this last trip was probably the most non-descript trip I think I have ever had out there. Between the proximity of more and more casinos closer to home, and the complete and utter pain in the ass air travel has become I have been considering more and more skipping a year and trying something else. Having said that for some reason there still doesn't seem to be anything like a trip to Vegas.

It's funny, because I was thinking the same thing after my last trip (in July). I still feel that way. I doubt I'll be back, unless my girl wants to go or something. When I was in Vegas I was by myself, and I was sending email updates back to my friends at home. This was my last email:

I’m sitting in McCarranAirport right now reflecting on my trip. I have come to the following stunning conclusion: I will not come to Vegas again. For someone like me, what is the difference between here and AC? I don’t walk around the strip looking at the sights. I don’t go to shows. I don’t even go to restaurants. I can bet sports in NJ, if I’m so inclined. What’s the difference? More money and a 5 hour plane flight. If I stayed in AC for four nights, I’m convinced that I could’ve had just as good a time and did most of the same stuff. Getting shut out of the WSOP was a blessing in disguise. In the end, it probably saved me $1500 that was better spent on bacon and cheese rolls and Pepsis. I can play big tournaments in AC and the Borgata beats almost any poker room in Vegas. Flight is starting to board.

Went on a trip in april and when I got home I swore to my wife that I was done with vegas. Part of the reason was that on that trip I lost my ass and quickly so it wasn't really fun.
But I got free tickets to UFC 100 (in july) and a couple buddies and I went. We had a blast and when I got back from the UFC trip I started figuring out when i could go next. I don't really have a better option than vegas, only thing we have around are Indian Casinos which are just depressing.

I've been to Vegas two times.Once was with my boyz, we partied, got laid and had a blast.the second time was with my 70yr old dad,we did the ansolute oposite of my first time and it was just as much fun. The Vegas club shit can get old but there are tons of sober things to do.

great point I live in texas and a big time gambling state. Snice the mgm and harrahs took over most of the strip and tighten there slots and video poker machines. I also here blackjack is 6/5 at most places. Me and my wife use to go 3 to 4 times a year. Most folks i know feel the same way you do. 5 or 6 hours in and out of airports. Airfare, taxi or rent a car.Heck i can be in la in 4 or 5 hours and maybe not win much but i can leave when i want.Vegas whats to cater to tourist and the club scene.That is one reason there gaming profits are way down.

Vegas has lost a lot of its greatness. They need to make the place more enticing to visitors. I agree its really not that great anymore especially because they dont even comp hardly anymore eaither.

my buddies and i were suggesting the same thing after our last trip in august. we all had a great time but with the amount of money that is thrown out between our group we could be traveling all over the world. each summer instead of going to vegas, we could plan a trip to an all inclusive resort somewhere different every year.
like i said every time we go we have a great time and im sure we will be back for superbowl, but would love to start traveling more to new places (time to start seeing the world not just different casinos)
