I don't know much about Vegas, but as long as everything is going swimmingly with your pregnancy, you shouldn't have a problem. Even though you're in the third trimester, you aren't that close to the end at that time.

But, you should definitely check with your doctor and be open to the idea that things could go the way of you not being able to fly. Also check with airline restrictions on flying in the third trimester.

We drove the Vegas when I was close to third trimester. I can't remember exactly which week. I LOVE Vegas too and it was okay. The nicer hotels and casinos have pretty good ventilation these days. I mostly stayed in the shopping and eating areas where smoking isn't really allowed or prevalent. And mid-May should be nice that you can walk around outside, lay out by the pool, etc. I also did have the most delicious "mocktail" at the Wynn! It was so yummy that I didn't really miss not drinking - but be warned, it cost as much as a regular cocktail!
For that same thing, I also have a go-to "mocktail" of my own that I could always have when everyone else was drinking. A virgin "greyhound": Grapefruit & Club Soda. P.S. I'd want my DH there too!

@Bookworm: and don't be afraid to take a taxi from one casino/area to antoher. I went to Vegans *not pregnant* and took taxies any time I was wearing high heels. It's not that pricy, since everything is relatively close.

I would do it and would definitely want DH with me! Obviously you should be careful to not be on your feet TOO much, but if you consistently walk to stay in shape throughout your pregnancy, I don't think you'd have trouble walking up and down the strip some. Maybe not from one end to the other, though. Definitely find comfy shoes that are supportive and big enough for if your feet swell. And maybe get a support band, too--then when your uterus starts dragging you down you'll have that to help support it.

Not Vegas, but I flew to Chicago at 31-32 weeks. We walked everywhere- it was very cold and I was extremely slow. Otherwise it wasn't a problem, we had a good time. I did take a few breaks through the day and made sure to take a nap too, it really helped. I didn't need a doctor's note to fly yet, we took Southwest and I took advantage of the early boarding every time.

I have noticed much less smoke every time we go to Vegas. It usually gives me a bad headache, and I haven't had problems the last few times I've gone.
