Las Vegas is perhaps one of the most exciting cities in the
United States. Its streets are lined with dazzling lights, and there are dozens of
resorts and casinos designed to cater to your every desire. And even though there are wedding chapels virtually on every street corner, Las Vegas is still a terrific city for singles to let their hair down. You just need to know what activities are suited for those who aren't hearing wedding bells.
NASCAR for Singles
Enjoy a NASCAR race with other singles who also love the thrill of racing. With this group outing, you will have several hotels to choose from that have been specially reserved for the singles attending this event, as well as group seating at the speedway; this gives you an opportunity to meet the singles who share your interests while you enjoy the race. When night falls, take advantage of VIP space reserved at the two hottest clubs in Las Vegas. Mix, mingle and dance the night away with a single you may have made a connection with, or simply enjoy the company of others who share the same lifestyle as yourself.

Speed-dating
Any single will enjoy this adult version of musical chairs as he ventures down the road of modern dating. This event takes place once a month in various Las Vegas lounges and is free for those who register with the event organizer, FastLife. It is geared toward singles between 21 and 50 who go on "dates" throughout the evening with 10 to 15 people in their preferred age group. Singles are equipped with name tags and scorecards. They have 7 minutes to get to know one another, but when the bell rings, the men move on to the next lady. At the end of each date, the singles mark their cards, indicating whether they felt any sparks. At the end of the evening, if sparks flew mutually, the event organizers will provide the participants with phone numbers and let fate take over.

Singles Camping
There is no better activity for singles who love the great outdoors than camping in the national parks near Las Vegas. This excursion lasts for 8 days and takes singles to three different national parks and two lakes. There are activities for everyone, regardless of their level of adventure. For those who like living on the edge, there is rock climbing and whitewater rafting. For those who like peace and tranquility, there is horseback riding and hiking on various nature trails. Amenities are available, such as restrooms and showers, but at night it's good old-fashioned camping, complete with open-fire cookouts, tents and sleeping bags. This is a wonderful way to meet other singles who share the same love of nature while being surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Las Vegas.
