Vacation planning: Vegas or Hawaii?

[TrapperParticipant 2912]

Been cooped up for entirely to long guys. Never been to either place and it’s time to spread my wings a little.

Any insider tips or cool ideas? I will be going to both eventually so all info will be appreciated…

As long as you are not into gambling. From those I talked to, Vegas can still be fun on a smaller budget. While Hawaii will break the bank.

Also, if there is a problem with air travel, in Vegas, you can at least drive back home.

Since Hawaii is the more expensive trip, I’d think about what part of the year you are going to Hawaii. If it’s off season now, then it’s probably a good time to go.

That’s the accountant in me talking….

I’ve never been to Hawaii but I have been to Vegas a few times. I get tired of the gambling pretty quickly and I end up just looking how much f~~~ing money gets wasted out in the middle of nowhere every year to make that city run. So I would probably choose Hawaii.

Neither, wait until February and hit I-80 Steamboat, Vail, and Aspen Colorado! Or hit Snowbird/Alta Utah Wasatch range, then skip up to Jackson Hole Wyoming for some more sick vertical s~~~! But definitely hit the Wasatch and launch some big air bomb holes in the bottomless powder!

Or come over here to the East Coast and learn how to go hard-pack Ice Skiing and tear your ACL!

Just got back from South Africa. Had lions, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, and giraffe close enough to touch. Way Kick Ass [except for the 16 hour flight from the East Coast]. $1 = R14. Travel bargain once you get there.

why would anyone sit on a plane filled with diseased cattle going to an island in the middle of the ocean, drive around on the one highway to see a tragically sunken boat, a volcano and a beach, then get on the same cattle car to go home. total cost $3000.

vegas, f~~~ vegas. more people in yer way, pimps handing you poke a hoe cards every 50 feet, losing cash deliberately, free drinks at the casino to make you stupid and lose more money. its a moron’s paradise

I have been to both several times. Vegas if you are going solo and want to hire some female company and like to gamble, Hawaii if you want to relax/adventure.

I would recommend Hawaii over Vegas though if you have never been to either. S~~~, if I had the money I would want to see Tahiti.

Vegas is Disneyland for adults. After 3 days, it’s boring as s~~~. However, you can do helicopter rides to the Grand Canyon, drive out to see the dunes, Red Rock Canyon, and even go to the Death Valley (barren brutal wasteland – so be careful – but doable in the winter) ……

See a show for sure. Anything. I saw Cirque-De-So-Gay’s “O” and “Zumanity” and David Copperfield – who made a car appear and float on stage. It’s so American….. everything is BIGG and HUGE and super-sized. I stayed at the Paris (hotel), because it made an attempt at transporting me elsewhere and there was an Eiffel Tower directly outside with a very good restaurant downstairs. The food was good EVERYWHERE.

They also have a terrific shoe-shine place at the Bellagio. First class.
I know it sounds silly, but I take my good shoes/boots there and they look like NEW.

I also just love to go for the drive through the desert. I love the desert. Even more than the beach, I think. If you drive, make sure the sun is BEHIND you and it will light up the desert with amazing colors.

The Chilean Sea Bass at “TAO” is worth it.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

I’ve been to LV before, but not in a huge hurry to go back. Unless you’re crazy about gambling or food or clubs I don’t get the point. Never been to Hawaii so can’t say.

I prefer more off the beaten path vacations. Volunteering in El Salvador. Checking out museums & practicing my Spanish & getting laid in Colombia. Dancing salsa & surfing in Costa Rica.

Bonus points about most Latin countries – the US Dollar will take you a long f~~~ing way.

Man, if I were anywhere near a desert with pristine abandon mines from the 1800s’, I’d explore them in fascination of the crib work and engineering.

I’m fascinated by the load handling capabilities of wood, I used to move buildings for a living and learned how wood can outperform steel I beams when it comes to flexing Allot of the lumber we used was from old growth forests purchased from demolition companies that demolished some old mills, oak beams that had to be winched into place on rollers and cribbing that’s how heavy they are, a skidsteer loader couldn’t pick them up, yet men and beast cut and dragged them out of the forest over 200 years ago?

We don’t know what hard work is anymore, everything is automated with laser precision, another thing to see is the ere canal and it’s remnants, cool viaducts that carried boat traffic all made of granite blocks and built with derricks ropes and horses, I read somewhere they built a two wheel spool with spokes made from whole trees, with rope wrapped around the solid 3ft oak axle they would pull enormous tree trunks from the ground using horses and ropes tied to the enormous wheels rolling them and turning the axle tearing a stump out that otherwise would have taken a team of men several days. I think the modern box scraper was invented there but I’m not sure. Roman construction must be amazing too.

I went to Vegas when I was 13 back in 1996. The casino buffets are great; it was like $4.99 for upper class food which included prime rib steak. My dad took me to Vegas because I like colorful lights. It sucked being stuck outside while my dad had all the fun inside the casinos, but now that I’m over 21, I can enjoy Vegas the way it should be. Back then at age 13, I went to see Hoover Dam, a chocolate factory. Warn you, if you go during the summer, it really DOES get hot there and the sun is blinding bright. It was so hot, my dad and I had to stop at every few buildings to cool off and drink large root beers.

I never been to Hawaii, but I hear it’s beautiful but expensive.

If I were to travel again, I would like to go back to Vegas, Orlando or try Japan.

One of these days I’ll go to Vegas. I went there when I was 13 or so . . . how the hell could a teenager appreciate it?!

I was so p~~~ed the last time I went to Death Valley and saw they’d filled in all the mines at Skidoo.

If I could take a disposable camera to any time in history, it’d be Ancient Rome. I’m endlessly fascinated at their construction techniques. And to think that a lot of their constructions are still standing! Some of their aqueducts, which are basically bridges for water, are still around! The arches in these aqueducts still look as good as the day they were finished. There’s a roman road that you can still walk on today, and it still looks brand spanking new. And we can’t make a bridge or a road last 20 years without constant maintenance and checks.

Just booked my second Red Pill trip to Colombia. Looking forward to actually seeing some museums this time. ? My MGTOW buddy had been telling me to join him for a couple of years. This will be his seventh trip I think. I was only there four days last year and it was hands down one of the best getaways I’ve ever had, and I’ve traveled.

Even the immigration officer was like, “only four days, senor?” I didn’t appreciate his question until I was leaving for home.

The people, the food, the culture…fantastic. I felt 20 years younger by the time I was through.

Plus, and this is the best part, your money goes a LOT further. I had dinner with two buddies at a five star bistro with all the trimmings and the total with tax and tip was less than my monthly internet bill.

New Idea

Buy the motorcycle of your dreams and ride it thru your own country (assuming you are in the States), then Canada, Mexico and maybe Brazil. That way your vacation is always in your driveway ready to go for an hour or a month.

[TrapperParticipant 2912]

Hmmm…lots of ideas. If I only had the time and money. Oh yeah, I have plenty of both now! Like the motorcycle idea the best though. Gonna need to climb back on one and get my skills back.

^this.

But make sure to limit yourself to the local sights for a few months. You don’t want to buy a new bike and immediately try to iron butt it across the continent.
