I gave up the drink last year.
The only excitement I had was trying to get back to my hotel from across town. We were meant to go to an event last night, couldn't find the place. Eventually I said screw it and went back to my hotel. I had an edible earlier so I knew Uber/taxi would spoil the adventure. So, I attempted to make my way back solo across town while high af. Everything was great until I hit MGM. The whole thing probably took 45 mins, when it should have been like 20.
Here was my route:
Manadalay Bay -> Excalibur via tram -> walk to MGM -> get lost for 30 mins trying to find the Monorail entrance -> Monorail -> Sahara
It sounds relatively easy except, you walk through the casinos to get off or on the Monorail. The problem is that directional signs are nowhere and no indication where you should look (or maybe I was too sauced). I wound up outside walking around the building to the other side, thanks to the help of Maps on my phone (this alone was like a 10 min walk). To boot, all the street access stairways were 'closed to the public'. Just as I was about to cave and find a cab, I noticed a small elevator and a tiny sign for the Monorail. From there it was less exciting.
I think it is crazy that thousands of intoxicated people wander that city
every day without issue. And I thought I had a good sense of direction.
And you know, now that I'm home and looking at Maps again, yeah I walked around 75% of the perimeter when I could have done it in 25%... Let that be the lesson.
