Las Vegas is 14-15h away from most European hubs. NYC is 8h. Even the best case scenario (first class and the airline staff walks you through immigration) means 10h door-to-door.
- wdb 5y agoBachelor parties or Boys weekends in Las Vegas is quite common for Londoners in some circles. Leave Friday and come back to work on Monday morning. It's not much different from a weekend Crete or Canary Islands or Weekend away in the Caribbean
- hocuspocus 5y agoThat's certainly not the behavior of plenty of people. If you have this kind of disposable income, why not take a few days off?
- wdb 5y agoColleagues at work in the City didn't at least once or twice a month. Well not to Vegas/NYC (probably 2-3 a year) but Crete, Berlin, Ibiza for partying/clubbing many times etc. I can see it happening more now that companies are more open to remote work. You could work remotely from the place on Thursday/Friday and then party and come back on Monday morning I have done it in the past went to Switzerland or Hong Kong for the weekend to buy things as it was cheaper to fly there then to buy the same product on the grey market in London (saved $3-5k).
