FAQ: What is the difference between solo and independent travel?

Answer: Readers are asking about the distinction.

Solo is by yourself, even if you're not alone in the room. You could go to the movies or eat alone in a restaurant. That is solo. Fly on a plane with others, but you are not WITH anyone.

Independent means you are probably with another person but not on an organized tour with a guide. So you are learning about the area with someone else. You could have that person as a companion; usually, that would be a friend or family member.

Today's destination: Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2023

Las Vegas is good in small bites. For me, it's a Two-night maximum.

What's there to do? A lot, but get out of town and see the natural wonders if you can.

The Strip is Las Vegas in all its glory. Think of Elvis and now Beyonce.

Downtown is less than the strip but has certain attractions.

There is always a party in Las Vegas—24/7 action.

It is convenient for a girls' meetup or a reunion, and certainly, there are many weddings here. You can often get a cheap flight and a cheap hotel room. The casinos expect you to gamble, so that's how they make money.

This year, I visited Mandalay Bay Hotel and the convention center. When I landed, it was snowing in February. It was so windy and unusually cold that there were severe weather warnings.

My normal experience here is HOT, so this was unusual weather.

I recommend leaving the city when you can and visiting the Hoover Dam and river for camping and boating.
