Where to Stay.

The venetian

Stepping into the Venetian is like stepping into Italy (well, kind of), complete with gondoliers singing and replica pillars of San Marco and San Teodaro. Book a small suite to easily accommodate up to six ladies. The hotel shares a pool with sister hotel, the Palazzo. The location is great for accessing the Strip! | Book Now >>

VDARA Hotel & Spa at Aria Las Vegas

Perfect for a quieter girls' getaway weekend, this all-suite property is tucked away from the strip behind the Cosmopolitan, with easy access to both the Aria and the Bellagio Casinos. One of the two-bedroom suites will give you all the space you need! | Book Now >>

Day-By-Day.

DAY 1

Welcome to Las Vegas! You should have arrived early enough to spend the day getting your bearings alongside your ladies! Once everyone has arrived and checked into your hotel, head out onto the Strip to explore! The Strip extends 4.2 miles from end to end; however, there isn't much past the Wynn (to the North) or the Mandalay Bay (to the South), except for the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign. Be forewarned: the walk from Mandalay Bay to the sign looks much shorter on paper than it feels. Strike a pose with fun props in front of the sign for a fun souvenir of the entire group! (This usually costs about $20 to one of the people taking photos, and they aren’t always there.)

Check out MY favorite things to do on the Strip!

This evening, check out the historic heart of Vegas with a trip downtown. There are plenty of fantastic restaurants to try, from Pizza Rock Las Vegas, where award-winning chef Tony Gemignan serves up every style of pizza, or Freedom Beat, a 24-hour eatery from Hell Kitchen's Season 12 winner Scott Commings featuring Southern comfort food.

End your night at the Fremont Street Experience. You could quickly rack up the costs down on Fremont Street. There is a zip line, and the casinos all have those "Old Vegas" style bulb-light signs. Every hour after 6pm, the Viva Vision light show illuminates the canopy to music.

Day 2

Start your morning with a cabana reservation, either at your hotel or another resort. You absolutely must get there early for the best spots. Each pool layout is slightly different - we recommend that you consider your group size, sun position during the early afternoon, and proximity to other amenities (such as the pool party or towel bar) that you may want to avoid. Once you have your cabana reserved, it's yours for the day. The crisp morning air might still be hanging around, so you can gamble downstairs while waiting for the sun to come out (the casinos generally have a more relaxed dress code during the day).

You also may want to do some retail therapy before your big night out!

Head over to Fashion Show, or explore the shops around your resort - each resort has a variety of shops to explore.

Time to return to your room to doll up and hit the town! You could go to the clubs - if you are unsure of which club to visit, there are always club promoters scattered along the Strip offering free entrance to ladies' groups. The offers generally will get your cover charge waived, so all you'll need to do is pay for drinks. If you want to be fancy, reserve a table ahead of time for bottle service (and a seat). Or, you could gamble in one of the many casinos. Whatever you do, be sure to hit up one of the fabulous restaurants, like e by Jose, Bardot Brasserie, or Yellowtail.

Day 3

Today ends a short-but-sweet girls trips to Las Vegas. Be sure to schedule your flight for later in the afternoon so that you have time to take brucnh at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon, located inside the Venetian.
