Vegas Thugs

[JKratzer]

So I'm making my first trip to Vegas after New Year's, it was supposed to be after my 21st last X-mas break but didn't work out. My parents are paying for the flight and hotel (b-day present), I supply the bankroll. Unfortunately I couldn't find any legal friends to go with me, so I'm flying solo. I don't have any concerns about going to Vegas for a couple days by myself, but my mom has been telling me I'm gonna get mugged or followed away from the poker table and accosted after I win big (is that optimism or pessimism?). I personally think I can take care of myself, but to placate my mom (who's paying for the trip) I said I'd look into the dangers of Sin City.

What do you all think - do I need to go strapped?
