Traveling alone to Las Vegas

Am 22 male traveling to Las Vegas alone for my first time on July 18 to 20. I have a question about any places I can meet good and cool people to socialize with and have fun? Thanks

This list is shorter if you ask "where can I not meet cool people and have fun?"

The answer to your question - everywhere as long as you are not an introvert. Heck, even if you are ...

I agree. You'll do just fine wherever you land. However, this list may give you some guidance:

The problem with the first two places on the list is that they are not on The Strip, and I believe you will regret if you don't stay mid-Strip--in the general vicinity of The Venetian.

Go to Trip Advisor, Las Vegas Forum. They have get togethers, with like minded people, and you can ask questions and get lots of ideas. Have fun!

Your first trip to Las Vegas and with only two days to explore, you won't need any group activity. Just getting to the strip and back from your hotel (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton?) and visiting five or six hotel casinos each day, will take up all of your time. There is a lot to see. What are your plans?

The only thing I'd say is that your hotel isn't exactly the hotbed of socialization among people of your age group. You'd do better (like have a livelier pool/bar/club scene) by staying at a hipper, more central hotel. I'm guessing you've chosen this hotel for price, but it's not always easy to get into clubs and pools in Las Vegas if you aren't a hotel guest.

Another problem with the top-of-the-line Vegas nightclubs is their shocking cover charges, especially for guys. Be prepared to shell out serious cash just to get into the hotter clubs; guys trying to get in solo have a rougher time of it. Find a VIP hosted entry service if you absolutely MUST get into one of the "happening" joints. You should also hit the websites of the hot clubs and look for guest lists, VIP entries, anything that can help in getting you through the door. Bottle/table service is one way, but that's REALLY expensive ($200 a bottle minimum).

And Doug's right: the Westgate is pretty much a dud in regards to nightlife, except as a cheap crash pad. Its main claim to fame is its convenient location for Convention Center attendees.

The Palms Resort's nightclub, Ghostbar, might be your speed as far as hip, young clientèle; and its off-Strip location keeps cover charges a bit more reasonable than at the ultra-chic places like Drai's or Hyde Bellagio. But you should find cool people at any bar at any of the Strip resorts, frankly. As well as inebriated barflies, weathered cougars on the prowl, the occasional professional looking to quietly make some easy money (if you know what I mean), etc. You get all kinds in Vegas. Don't drink too much and you'll have a great time.

Poolside dayclubs aren't any easier to get into in Las Vegas than nightclubs, and they are pretty much as expensive. Some even have bottle service. It's much easier to get in if you stay in the hotel, but it's definitely not mandatory.
