    I am going out to Vegas for a wedding in Mid-July and was curious how long you think I should stay out there.  The wedding is on a Friday, but I have that entire week as well of the following Monday off work.  Family will be there will be there starting Tuesday and a couple buddies are going to come out for the weekend so basically I will be solo for any real drinking, gambling, strippers before the weekend. 

    How early would you suggest I get out there as I do not think I would go into work and save the vacation time even if I am still in town for part of the week?

    unless you have a ton of money. Running low on funds in Vegas is no fun at all.

    Are you bringing $150 or $100k?  You can eat a Steak and lobster downtown for $10.95 or eat fish by the gram at Wynn.  Everyone that comes here says the same thing to me, I could have stayed longer that 3-4 days.  There is a lot more to do and see.  More and more the money here in vegas is spent on food and shopping then gambling!

    i think spending 2 nights is plenty to go out, gamble, eat, drink, and visit the strip joints.  i can't imagine spending a week there to do the above things.  it becomes excessive.  i enjoy vegas in small doses.  have fun!

    Tuesday would be about right, do the family stuff for a couple days then party on the weekend.  Only baseball will be going on so not much betting on sports to do.  Guess depends how much you want to play cards and other games.

    Couldn't have said it better myself! I stayed for 7 nights last year and thought it might be a huge mistake. It was the best trip I've ever had there. Didn't feel the need to go balls out 24/7. Was able to appreciate everything there more than than squeezing everything in a few days.

    It has to do with how much of a degenerate you are and then how much stamina you have.  I mean degenerate in an endearing manner.  I have friends that can not sleep while in Vegas.  The hit buffets not for the value but because the food is ready.  For them anytime eating, sleeping, or doing anything else in Vegas takes precious time from gambling.  2 or 3 days max if you are this type of person.  By day 3, they are worn down and make bad decisions generally losing anything they were up.  I think 4 or 5 days is just right but I take some time off from the tables, enjoy some good food and entertainment.

    Depends on your approach.  You get the people who party hard and go nonstop, that is 3 days and 2 nights max.  You get the people who don't gamble and take it all in, that's easily a week trip.  Just relax during the week and hang out, check out things, then when your buddies show up, have a good time.

    I love staying there for 2 weeks everytime
    Just, how, I love Vegas
    Love to stay longer, but only have so much vacation, but I am also with my wife and others.
    As every one of my days go
    Lay by the pool drinking, place my action, go back to the pool, go shopping, watch sports, go to a show, dance club, sleep.
