Vegas trip in November?
 

Some friends and I are planning to go to Vegas at the end of november. Why then? Basically because our flight/hotel package is cheap as hell at that time (it would be insulting NOT to go!)...

Now I was wondering... seeing as the whole deal is so cheap, is Las Vegas basically dead around that period?

We need some sun, we need a pool, we need a lot of fish and drunken tourists at the poker tables, we need women in the clubs, etc... Basically everything you'd expect during a Vegas trip. Are we likely to encounter any/all of that in november or will the city be half-empty with 1 poker table going in each room filled with regulars?

First trip I assume? You will find plenty of actions 365 days a year.

Bring your skates, you might be able to use them that time of year.

Nope, even the regulars will be visiting home for the holidays.

In Vegas, "dead" is a relative term. It'll be plenty busy for your purposes any time of year. You may find the sun/pool weather in late November leaves something to be deisred, however. If the pool if very important to you, double check that your hotel's pool will be open; many close for a part of the off season (though I think that's generally in the winter, not late fall.)

Enjoy!

I go every year the first week of December because I drive to Arizona and stop off for a day or two. Here's my definition of "dead": Midnight at Paris, playing 5-handed at the only 1/2 NL table open. Caesars at 11 am, zero limit tables open. Bellagio at the same time, one 15/30 and no other limit tables open.

Obviously you will be able to find a game somewhere, but relative to the average, that's dead.

If you can handle "shrinkage," bring your swimsuit. I'm sure the penguins will share the pool.

I am heading out just after Thanksgiving, so if you are there then, I will get drunk and you can take my money...

well the pool is the least of my worries (although the penguins sound cool!), but there better be some good poker games going on ($1/$2 NL for starters)
