Am I crazy?

I%26#39;m seriously considering popping out to Las Vegas on a Friday night and then flying back on Sunday. Oh yeah, I%26#39;m from NJ, so that%26#39;s approximately a 6 hour flight out to Vegas. I haven%26#39;t been there since October and I feel like a junkie needing a fix %26lt;LOL%26gt;.



Am I crazy?


For 7 years I did the Wednesday night -Saturday (red eye)/ Sunday bit for Thanksgiving but I never tried it on a Friday night. Lots of luck!! If you can get cheap airfare and cheap rooms- why not??



Am I crazy?


its not crazy at all.



although the flight is a little long, if you can get a late flight back home on sunday it wouldn%26#39;t be so bad...




I%26#39;m not as far away as you are but I%26#39;ve done a Friday (arrive at 4pm), depart Sunday am at 11am. Quick but fun none the less.




nobody here knows what works for you





you are an adult, if you want to do it - do so





personal chocie




I did it for London, so why not?




I strongly recommend ';getting sick'; on Sunday morning. You may be so ';ill'; that you might require another two or three nights before you are feeling better.





Because face it. If you get on a plane on a Friday night for Vegas, you probably aren%26#39;t going to sleep much there, so you will definitely get sick (for real) when you get home on Monday.





2 nights just isn%26#39;t enough.




We are doing it again for the second time in 4 months. Leaving NJ early Friday morning and taking the redeye back on Sunday night. You get three full days in Vegas that way. I tend to go right to the City and to work and my wife works from home. Just know that you wont be very productive on Monday, so you might want to plan it for a day with no important meetings, etc.





The first time I did it was after my brother%26#39;s bachelor party....I probably slept better on the plane on the way home than during the two nights in Vegas . . . at some point that Monday I was sitting at my computer had suddenlly had three rows of ';S'; across the screen, as I had falled asleep!




Yep . . . I%26#39;d say you%26#39;re nuts ;) . . . but then . . . aren%26#39;t we all?




I did a similiar trip the last time I went out there. I%26#39;m from the Boston area, so I also had a 6 hour flight. We went out a few years ago on Martin Luthur King weekend. We flew out friday after work and took a red eye back Monday night. We got in around 5:45 am and I went directly to work. Have to admit it was a bit hectic, but if you want to go out and don%26#39;t mind being rushed. GO FOR IT!!!




I do that all the time from SF...But then again that%26#39;s a 1 hr 10 minute flight. If I were you, I would do it The anticipation of going to Las Vegas is half the fun isn%26#39;t it???
