I'm going out again to the GN soon- two full days and two half days with travel. Even without taking winning or losing into consideration, the Vegas life burns me out after 3 full days with with about 4 hours a day at the tables plus the odd hours that everything gets done at (craps at 9 AM, dinner at midnight, black curtains that block out the sun so you sleep until noon, etc.).
How long do you last?

If I am taking the 4 hour flight to Vegas from Chicago I need at least 4 days to justify the travel time. I typically spend a week out there though, but around day 4 or 5 I need to schedule a trip to Red Rock or somewhere to decompress.

I gamble full time. Vegas is just a locale for me.
If I had operations in vegas I would gamble 5 days a week in Vegas probably.
Gambling becomes like a job but one I enjoy
As for Vegas, the bus ride is too long from NYC

Haven't had a trip long enough where I was actually burned out. I like 6 day stays though.

Most casinos comp. for 3 to 4 days, because they know gambling time tends to decline after 3 to 4 days. Sure people vary but casino personnel tend to know what they are doing. As gamblers age there may be time required for jet lag compensation and some greater time for diversions such as gyms, steam rooms, etc., but casinos know that past that fourth day mark, its a less profitable endeavor.

I chose 1 day. I'd have fun for like one day and the jaded and fatiguec feeling would start like the very next day.

Before I moved here, I'd vacation each January for three or four weeks. I'd gamble 10-16 hours a day, except for the days I'd drive down to Laughlin. At the halfway point of my trip, I'd take a days break to go to the Valley of Fire, or Beatty or Keepers of The Wild in Valentine.
These days, two hours and I'm bored.

I can go full-speed for about 3 full days. Maybe 6 hours of sleep a night, start drinking and gambling in the morning, breaks to eat and walk around of course. Starts to get old after that, but I feel like I *could* slow it down if I was there for longer. Never had a chance to test it though, I believe my longest Vegas trip was 3 full days (4 nights). That was almost 10 years ago, damn I'm getting old.

Today is day 4 and we leave on red eye. I really wish we could stay another 2 days. Last 2 days we sat at the pool which is what I am currently doing. Could do this every day if I could afford the drinks. Spent about 150 today and yesterday. Drinks are 16 for frozen drink and we got chips with bean dip and quac for 11.
Going to dinner at has house tonight at 8pm if anyone is still in town and wants to join us.

I don't think I've ever been to Vegas for longer than three full days. Usually it's 2 or 3 full days with like a half day on either side. Even then I'm good for 8 hours of gambling a day, easily. I bet I could probably do 4 or 5 solid days of 8 hours of gambling, another day or two of no gambling at all, just wandering around looking at shops and lounging by the pool.... so maybe a week max in Vegas before I would get bored and want to go home.
