Imagine you were going to do this:
7 days straight in Las Vegas. Here's the schedule. Oh, and you're going with 5 friends. And you plan to share one expensive suite.
Get breathed on and pestered by a strange man who reeks of alcohol the whole flight there (and you only had 3 hours of sleep the night before, so you wanted to SLEEP). You're crowded up against the plane's window sill. The flight is 4 hours.
Now it's 5:00 p.m. when you get there. Take a cab straight to the hotel. Crowded with all types of loud, flashy, touristy types. You nearly bump into 3 people on the way to your suite. (Jet lag does that to you). Noise, noise, noise...everywhere!! Ringing slot machines, advertised show music, cars, horns, traffic, drunk screaming people, shrieks, foot steps, hustle bustle rustle, men on the corners yelling about discounted tickets. The whole hotel is perfumed, making you sneeze.
Take the elevator to your room, drop off your suitcases and go immediately to casinos, shows and clubs. Get wasted, the show music is LOUD (the show lasts 2 hours), EVERYBODY is wasted, screaming, loud and dancing everywhere. Strobe lights flashing during the show. People tripping over your while you're sitting in your chair.
Gamble and drink after the show until 4 a.m. (dragged by your friends), then take a cab back to your suite, and wake up at 7 a.m.
You have NO privacy whatsoever. The suite is one long room, and the shower stall is totally clear, and people need to get ready too, so everyone sees each other in the nude and getting dressed. No breakfast yet.
And then you're all ready at 9 a.m. Then you eat breakfast in a casino place in your hotel lobby, listening to loud blaring Cher music over the lobby speakers. And then at 11 a.m., you all run together to the loud flashy EXPENSIVE shows, casinos, etc. etc. until 4 a.m...
and this cycle goes on for 7 days. You literally do NOT get *any* alone time, because (1) there's nowhere you can go where you'll actually be alone, and (2) your friends won't let you leave. :crazy:
Would you find this fun? Or hellish? (I went to Vegas last year, and one of the friends, the only Introvert in the group, seemed miserable.) This was our exact schedule. And to be fair, it eventually got a little taxing for ME towards the end. Though that was because I was perpetually hung over, drunk and caffeine-buzzed all at the same time.
