Not everyone has the time of their life in Las Vegas.
As I’ve said far too many times to count, I love Vegas and Sin City loves me. We were built for each other. I go at least once a year, and there’s nothing that’s going to stop that tradition.
My Vegas experiences have always been incredibly positive. In fact, I’m not sure I can think of a single negative thing I’ve ever done in Vegas.
The same isn’t true for other people. Apparently, some people have experienced plenty they wouldn’t like to do again.
People reveal what they wouldn’t do again in Las Vegas.
A Reddit thread titled “Things you will never do in Vegas again?” includes exactly what you’d expect. A laundry list of Vegas experiences people have no interest in repeating. Check out the best responses below, and hit me with your thoughts at [email protected]:
- Get off the linq Ferris wheel after having 10+ shots in 30 mins
- The drunkest I’ve been in my life: 6 drinks on the wheel. Then 2 at Stage Door. Then, allegedly, just water at Ellis Island.
- Work another New Years Eve on the strip.
- O2 Bar. Does nothing
- Get married Get a tattoo Everything else is still on the table at 39
- See David Copperfield
- Listen to a “one-hour presentation” in exchange for a “free” buffet. Four hours later I left $20K in debt for a timeshare I can never use.
- Bacchanal, too expensive to not eat yourself sick. At $100 a head almost you can get better quality food that won’t ruin your night.
- Go to the Strip on NYE. I’m a Vegas native and that was a one and done for me.
- Bottle service in a club, somehow paying 750 plus for a bottle of vodka , 2 bottle minimum and a required 500 dollar tip for a cocktail waitress who pours one round and bounces doesn’t seem worth it too me. Add in the fact that it’s a complete scam sausage fest, the only cute girls who are actually at the club end up on stage next to the DJ and or circling tables for free drinks makes it’s a never again for me.
- I did [call one of the cards of women] cuz it said $50. It’s $50 for them to show up. $500 to do anything. I asked for a specific look; I got the total opposite.
- Hells Kitchen. The Beef Wellington was the most underwhelming meal I’ve ever had.
- Saving money by walking everywhere. Objects you can see aren’t necessarily something you should walk to – check your phone for the true distance and uber when needed.
- Circus Circus breakfast buffet. It may not even be there anymore, but you could get pretty much the same grub for free at the Clark County jail.
- Take my eyes off my drink -been drugged there before and it was scary af. Reading through some posts here and on other sites I see it’s a common issue
- Flamingo Pool – HORRIBLE. Almost every seat is a paid seat, even for hotel guests. That place Sucks
- Play craps at Luxor with people smoking blunts st the table
- MGM buffet even on a bogo. Absolutely terrible.
- Yes, definitely calling a number on one of those cards. Flying in late and not booking a room for that night because “we’ll be up all night anyway.” Pinball Hall of Fame. Buffets – any of them. Taxis. Taking edibles before drinking.
- Accept a drink from a new friend. Turns out Canadians aren’t all nice.
- Take my drunk wife to a strip club. $300 in 20 min before she was kicked out and saw zero boobs.
- Ecstasy, shrooms, and lsd together or individually. Man I wish I could still find Ecstasy. MDMA is cool but there was something special about those blue dolphins. Becoming a Dad has pretty much stopped all my recreational drug use. I used to go Vegas and just rage for two or three days on very little sleep. Those days are over. Now it’s food tours and shows.
If I really had to think of things I wouldn’t do again, there are only two that come to mind. I wouldn’t get a cabana at the pool at the Linq again. Did it once, and it was very underwhelming. I also once went to the Hooters at OYO.
Not terrible, but also completely unnecessary. Much better options than walking all the way to OYO.

The reality of the situation is Las Vegas is what you make it. If you have a lot of fun and simply enjoy yourself, then the city is going to be awesome. If you go in expecting it to be a movie and nonstop over-the-top shenanigans, then you’re probably going to be disappointed.
