I know how to pace myself there. I was more concerned about feeling out of place by myself as I really haven't met that many people yet. I guess if I go by myself, I should volunteer a bit so I will keep busy and get to meet more people. I just didn't want to feel like a jerk at the banquet if it was all couples or people that all know each other. I can handle myself on the tables (dont play the slots) or in the poker room. It's the spa bill my husband may have to worry about.
