What would you do

blondii428 · January 2013

We're going to Vegas at the end of March with my Fiance's sister and a bunch of her friends. Tickets were already bought months ago. I'm not really looking forward to going and sitting in bars while everyone is getting drunk. My FI said he will only go out with them one of the nights but even thinking about spending one night alone in a hotel room hurts me. How would you guys feel, am I being ridiculous?

I would just go. DH and I went to Las Vegas for our honeymoon and we didn't even drink most nights but still had a blast. One night in the room wouldn't be so terrible to me. I'd probably go relax by the pool or just go to bed early. I guess it just depends on your personality though.

I'd go. Then again, I'm not a drinker, so we're possibly different in that respect.

There's so much to do in and around Vegas that doesn't involve drinking.

Since the tickets are already bought, make the best of it. If it were me, I would be looking into the hotel spa for my night alone

This.

And if DH wasn't antisocial (as in, he actually wanted to go out with his friends), I would encourage him to go out, and then go chill by myself by the pool with a book, or walk around with my camera. I really like spending time by myself though.

And who knows when you might have the chance to go out/travel with friends again before your LO comes. I'd say go out and have a good time, even if it means not drinking while others are.

I would go. I don't drink but even if I did the reason you can't drink is an exciting reason. Don't be a party pooper just because you can't drink. Tickets are bought go and have fun I would so love to go and just enjoy!!! Who cares if you can't drink. It is not all about drinking. Make the most of it before your little one comes!!

I would go. There is plenty to do In Vegas that doesn't involve drinking. I wouldn't hole up in my room but go out to dinner, or shopping, or to see ashow, etc etc.

One word: buffets!!!!

VitaLuna · January 2013

I don't drink even when I'm not pregnant, and we've still been to Vegas twice. And yes, I do think you're "being ridiculous" by saying it hurts you that your FI would go out one night without you. Hey, you asked I don't think it's fair for you to think he shouldn't leave you for a few hrs to do something fun. Like PPs said, take that time to do something nice for yourself.. go to the spa, order up some room service, bring dinner back to the room and watch a movie on TV, nap, etc.

Go and have fun!

We were married in Vegas too.

OP, everyone else has given some great advice - I'd definitely go, there are lots of things you can do. But I'm also another one of those people who likes some alone time.

Just go! Trust me, once the baby comes, there are times where you would kill for a couple hours in a hotel by yourself with some room service!

thedash · January 2013

I honestly love hanging out alone in a nice hotel room. Order room service and find a chick flick on cable and enjoy! Or hit the pool or spa if you feel like getting out.

Wishing35 · January 2013

I would go, you could always get dinner with them and go crash out early in your room. Your bound to be tired and you can relax in the a/c and watch movies.

staceymack · January 2013

I love Vegas! Most of the time we don't end up drinking at all. They have the best restaurants, shopping and entertainment! If your hotel has a spa, treat yourself to a spa night when he goes out. There's plenty to do!

kje120 · January 2013

Go and have fun. The night he plans to go out plan a spa visit or something for yourself.

ETA: I also think it's pretty ridiculous that you would be that hurt by him going out one night. You both need to live your lives.

jennyb301 · January 2013

Just go - you'll have fun! There's plenty to do and see. The Bellagio always has a seasonal setup inside and the fountain shows are great. There's also a giant chocolate fountain by the ice cream shop toward the back. Mandalay Bay has the Shark Reef, I'm pretty sure there's another aquarium-type thing at another hotel too.

The people watching is great, too. People think they can get away with ANYTHING in Vegas. It's crazy. Just try to enjoy yourself

ETA - half my post was deleted...I think my computer is trying to die ;-)

Food in Vegas is awesome and you could take advantage if the great shopping and worldclass spas!!!!

blondii428 · January 2013

Thanks for helping clear my head ladies! I think a room service and spa night sounds amazing

Agreed : a spa night sounds glorious!!

Faith444 · January 2013

You know how you would feel. If you don't want to be alone then maybe that night you and hubby could spent the time just the two of you . Spa day together sounds awesome !

Luckymomma4 · January 2013

This!! I have been to Vegas twice and it was for gymnastics competitions when I was 14 years old. Obviously, I couldn't drink but I still had a blast.
