We are from the UK on our first visit to Vegas in 3 weeks staying for 7 nights and can%26#39;t wait getting really excited.
Was just wondering how everyone copes with the time differance.
We leave the UK at 10.50am and arrive in Vegas at 2pm any tips would be much appreciated so we can make the most of our time there.
Coping with time differanceI am from Houston, Texas so I only have to deal with a 2-hour time difference. Eventhough the difference is minimal, I cope by setting my watch to Vegas time as soon as I land. When I get into my room, I take a short nap, wake up, shower to refresh myself, then hit the town. Hope this helps.
Coping with time differanceYou can always tell a newbie on the strip in Vegas, they are the ones with bruised knees from walking into fire hydrants, while repeating ';WOW'; every few seconds!
We always settle into the hotel and then try and slip straight into Vegas time. We have a bite to eat, do a little gambling, walk the strip or the FSE if we are Downtown etc and go to bed between 10 and 11pm.
We find we wake that first morning around 6 and are good to go from then on.
Have great trip and dont try to do too much.
We try to stay awake for as long as possible in order to get in to Vegas time.
As previous poster said you%26#39;ll probably wake early on the first day but at least you%26#39;ll get into the swing of things that way rather than spend the whole day in bed and waste valuable time!
Bearing in mind 9pm Vegas time is 5am back home it%26#39;s a struggle!
Have fun.
We are on our first trip to vegas next month(27th March) for a week and looks like same flight times. Exciting! I think the same about the time difference, just stay up for as long as possible. Not planning on doing too much sleep anyway!
I asked a different question, but there is some good advice to your question here:

We have similar flight times in a couple of weeks time. Not been to Vegas previously, but we did go to New York last year, which is 6 hours behind the UK. Arrived at 1pm local, but that was 7pm by our body clocks. We went out for dinner at 8pm but my body clock was telling me it was 2am, and I was falling asleep in my Pasta.
For Vegas, arriving at 2pm, we plan to go to bed for 2-3 hours as soon as we arrive, then go out and have as ';busy'; an evening as possible, go to bed again around 1-2am, and get up early. Hopefully that will do the trick.
Well, for me going there is not a problem. From Denmark its a +20 hour trip, plane change 2 times and one should think a trip like that + time difference should kill you but....once you hit Vegas all that is gone in a second. The wow, the bright lights, the excitement makes it very easy to keep going without ever feeling the timedifference. That being said going back... THAT take me some two weeks to fully recover, really! Suddenly being back in your normal quiet life the reaction comes down really hard on you.
And in only 8 days I will do it all over again!!
The single most important thing is sunlight. Walk around outside as much as possible that first day, rather than heading straight for a casino.
I have very little trouble going overseas for vacation - a big part of that is being able to be outdoors. It%26#39;s coming home (when I have to go back to work) that kills me.
Going is not the problem it%26#39;s the coming back that the body cant deal with.
We will be arriving on the 31st Month for a week, it will be our second time, we stayed awake as long as possile on the first day (think we made it until about 7:30pm vegas time) I found its coming home that is hard - took me a good few days to get back in the swing, felt very sick and lost my appetite.
