I flew across the country to spend 48 hours in Las Vegas. Here are 4 things that were worth it and 4 that weren’t.

• I flew from Connecticut to Las Vegas for a 48-hour weekend getaway. 
• I didn’t need a ton of time to enjoy what the city has to offer, but I’m glad I planned ahead.
• I’d definitely see some entertaining shows again, but I probably wouldn’t gamble if I returned. 

I took a weekend trip to Las Vegas from my home in Connecticut. 

After a long flight and a few timezone changes, I landed and was quickly reminded of how unique the city is. Vegas sees an average of 40 million tourists a year, and I think everyone should visit at least once. 

Throughout my 48 hours in Sin City, there were attractions worth checking out and a few things I’d skip in the future.
