Sometimes you just need to get away from it all. And what could be a better way to leave your schedule and work responsibilities behind for a weekend than to hit Las Vegas with your closest girlfriends? Las Vegas is an entertainment melting pot, with so much to see, do, and experience in this incredible city, you might find yourself planning another girls’ weekend there before this one is even over!
So, how do you make the most of your time in Las Vegas? Where should you stay? What should you see? Is there anything you and your girlfriends should avoid? Feeling confused? In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about having the ultimate girls’ weekend in Las Vegas.
Where Should You Stay?
When you’re planning your weekend away, you should know that when it comes to where to stay in Vegas, accommodation is everything. You’ll want something that screams luxury, a great location, and plenty of opportunities to make some awesome memories. Whether you’re here for poolside lounging, cocktail sipping, or club-hopping until sunrise, choosing the right hotel will set the vibe for the whole trip. Here are our suggestions:
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas: With Instagrammable interiors, rooms with terraces overlooking the Strip, and a rooftop pool deck that transforms into a buzzing party scene, The Cosmo is a dream for girls who want both comfort and glamour. You’ll find stylish restaurants, a secret pizza place (trust us, it’s worth finding), and easy access to the city’s hottest nightlife.
The Venetian: If your idea of fun includes spa sessions, gondola rides, and a touch of old-school luxury, The Venetian is ideal. It’s elegant without being stuffy and perfect for a more relaxed girls’ trip with shopping, cocktails, and spa days on the agenda.
The LINQ Hotel + Experience: If your budget is a little more modest but you still want some glitz and glamour in a great central location, then the LINQ Hotel is a great choice for you and your girls. Ideal for those who’d rather spend money on shows, food, drinks, and fun, this vibrant hotel is perfectly located and is within walking distance from many of Vegas’ main attractions.
Spa Time & Self-Care
You all work really hard, whether you’re juggling work, family or both! So why not indulge and recharge in some of the best spas in the world? Treat yourselves to a morning of pampering and book a group spa package at Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace or The Spa at Vdara for massages, facials, and access to luxurious thermal pools. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a night out—or gear up for another one!
Chic Cocktails & Bottomless Brunches
You’re in Vegas! So daytime drinks and bottomless brunches are an absolute must. Brunch is basically a tradition in Vegas, and when it comes to Instagrammable food, gorgeous locations, live entertainment and plenty of drinks, you and your girls are spoiled for choice. Try Giada at The Cromwell for upscale bites with a view, or head to LAVO’s Party Brunch (this spot is seasonal, so always check for your dates) for a high-energy brunch that turns into a full-on dance floor.
Nightlife & Clubbing
Vegas nightlife is in a league of its own. It’s truly on the next level! If you have some specific bars or clubs in mind, we recommend booking a table so everyone can rest when they need to and have drinks brought directly to them! Check out Omnia, Zouk, or XS for world-class DJs, celebrity sightings, and electric energy. If you want to skip the queues at entry, consider booking a ladies’ night package or look for “guest list” access to walk straight in and feel like a celebrity.
Pool Parties & Day Clubs
Fancy a dip in a private pool? Or do you want to enjoy a pool party with your closest friends, drinking gorgeous cocktails and enjoying bottle service, great DJs, and sunshine-soaked fun? Head over to Encore Beach Club, Wet Republic at MGM Grand, or Marquee Dayclub for some memorable party moments. Just don’t forget your swimsuits!
Shows, Comedy, & Entertainment
It’s not called the Entertainment Capital of the World for nothing! If you’re in need of a break from all the partying, but still want to enjoy what Las Vegas has to offer, then why not book tickets to a world-class show? Check out ‘Magic Mike Live’ (yep, it’s as fun as it sounds), ‘Absinthe’ for something outrageous, or RuPaul’s Drag Race LIVE! for sass and sparkle. Comedy shows at The Mirage or Venetian also deliver big laughs, so whatever you and your girlfriends are into, something is sure to hit the mark.
Shopping and Retail Therapy
Not everyone prioritizes retail therapy on a weekend break, but if you and your closest friends fancy splurging on some new designer clothes or finding something totally unique in one of Vegas’ many boutiques, then you’ll be blown away by the variety of options. Stroll through The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, The Shops at Crystals, or Fashion Show Mall. Whether you’re on the hunt for a glam outfit or the perfect souvenir, you’ll find it here.
Insta Spots and TikTok Locations You Can’t Miss
Sure, Vegas is all about the nightlife, the cocktails and the entertainment, but in truth spending time with your girlfriends is the most important element of your trip. So, you’re going to want to capture some of those moments so you can cherish them forever (and upload them to Instagram and TikTok).
Capture the weekend with snaps at The Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign, The Bellagio Fountains, and The High Roller or The Cosmopolitan’s Chandelier Bar. Whether you’re dressing up for the night or keeping it cute by day, these are the must-snap spots to light up your Insta feed and make the memories last.
Fun is waiting for you and your girlfriends in Las Vegas! Start prepping for your trip and get those flights booked.
