But don't tell anyone.Last year, I went to Vegas with my college roommate, and we had a blast. We're not the partying/gambling types, but really enjoyed just walking and seeing the sites and people watching.

And I discovered something while I was there: the combination of hot weather, beautiful desert landscape, and benign pampering from the hotel (someone to make my bed every day!) is EXACTLY what I need to regroup and refresh. And despite loving all my friends, I also need to be alone during this refreshment. So I'm staying at the Bellagio for a few days, where I will eat crepes and go to the buffet and do exactly what I want, when I want. This is what I need.

But, my best friends will be hurt that I didn't include them. And everyone else will judge me on such a frivolous trip (you're either a bad person for not saving your money, and/or not using that money to save the whales). But well, sorry, it's just something I need and want to do. SO THERE. I'm telling you guys, because I know you won't betray my secret.

80°F, here I come! :)

That sounds amazing. I hope you feel fabulous upon your return!

That indeed does sound fantastic. I love Vegas, just for a few days.

I am jealous, that sounds amazing! I hope the warm desert sun and fancy food and pampering is restorative.

That sounds wonderful, have a great time! I would love to do that some day.

That sounds wonderful and refreshing! I am all for solo vacations; they are just so rejuvenating. Have a wonderful time, and I promise, I won't tell anyone.

That sounds like exactly my style, too. Have a wonderful time, Melismata!

Take me with you! I'm no trouble at all-- : )

Enjoy the Bellagio-- I love their buffet, second only to the Wynn. Mmmm.... buffet.....

What happens in Vegas, and who happens to end up in Vegas.....

That sounds like just the ticket to your relaxing happening! ENJOY ALL THE WAY!

I'm jealous! It's been too long since I've been to Vegas. Play a slot for me!

I have a friend who does exactly that almost every year on his birthday: not a partier/gambler, just enjoys going. It sounds like a great trip, Melismata. Bon voyage.
