It would be right around my birthday!

Aaand, I've never taken a road trip or even been out West, ever.

yes.

yes

I called my mom to talk about it but she's all like, "Blah blah blah your student loan payments start in June blah." Sigh.

I really think I should go for it. I'll eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from now until June.

this is the kind of thing you'll regret if you miss out on. Go for it however you can! :)

i say DO IT.

You probably should, even though Vegas is rough for the poor. But, you probably should.

Vegas isn't THAT rough for the poor, as long as you acknowledge that you need to be cheap. (Just don't plan on doing too much gambling -- that can make you poorer, fast!)

Check out the Top Ten List at www.lasvegasadvisor.com for good value, relatively cheap things to do.

I'm not much of a gambler so I don't think that will be a problem.

I just want to go on an adventure!

There are also some excellent hikes and parks around LV -- Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire are the two big ones.

Yes....Southwest airlines has a ton of flights out of LV, and they conveniently sell one-way tickets hassle free. Unless you've already got credit card debt out the wazoo, I'd say DO IT. (however, this is coming from a guy who flew across the country to meet a bunch of internet people and dress up like Bruce Lee for a night when he had no discernible income to speak of.)

@Jason- I have no credit cards! I have a lot of student loan debt, but that's it. But that also means I have to save up actual money to spend on this trip, no putting plane tickets on credit cards for me.

Do it!
