13 things to do overnight in Vegas when you don't have a hotel reservation because of...reasons

1.  See if your friends there are free and if you can make arrangements there.
   
   
2. Lookup 24-hour gyms and figure out a way to chill and shower during the stay, because the backpack's gotta go somewhere you.
   
   
3. Lookup 24-hour swimming pools that don't need the corresponding hotel reservations, and figure out the prices.
   
   
4. Run away from the swimming pool prices because WHO THE EFF CHARGES $250 buckaroos for a goddamn pool chair at a vegas resort, that's daylight robbery.
   
   
5. Check if there's any 24-hour buffets in town that you can spend the night at, discover they're actually not a thing, and also due to your strange timing, you won't be making into any of the buffets in the global capital of buffets.
   
   
6. Check out latenight bus tours and figure out a way to spend as much time as you can on a tour, only to discover those trips end before you get to the city of lights.
   
   
7. Lookup cheap bars that are open 24-hours.
   
   
8. Findout clubs that are open 24-hours and their entry fees because that's what you're gonna be doing and you know it.
   
   
9. Come up with strategies to make quick friends in the new city, everybody's gonna be a tourist there and everybody's gonna be loaded if they've got hotel reservations for the first post-pandemic national holiday weekend -- and wonder if they'd be open to...idk letting you use their facilities for shower and nap, or maybe just in the common room thing, whatever. If pools are free, maybe you can spend the night there.
   
   
10. Gosh, you also need a place to put your backpacks.
    
    
11. Come up with a consistent set of lies about how you obviously had a reservation for the night but unfortunately it didn't work out as you guys decided to go on an adventure and prematurely checked out of the hotel room and see how it's to spend 12 hours of the night in the party city.
    
    
12. Oh god oh god oh god.
    
    
13. Check 24-hour food places and realize if nothing else you can always go there, in addition to tonne of hotel restaurants that'll always be open, so you don't necessarily have to be bankrupt to avoid homelessness or arrest in the city.
