Where We Stayed for this Itinerary
For my bachelorette we chose the Palazzo at the Venetian as our home base. The resort is fabulous for so many reasons, but for my bachelorette I was really swayed to stay here by two things.
First, the rooms are a lot bigger than your typical Vegas room without having to pay for full-on suites (important when you're booking multiple rooms). We had oversized bathrooms and living rooms to get ready and spend time in the room before heading out and about.
Second, the pool decks were recently redone, and they are incredible! Again, I'm not a huge club person, but I wanted the cabana experience, and the plunge pool cabanas here more than delivered! See day 2 below for more details. Eventually I'll write up a more detailed resort guide for the Venetian & the Palazzo, but for now just trust me that it's a great pick!
There are slight differences between the Palazzo and the Venetian, but the properties are connected and largely the same.
Where We’ve Stayed for Other Trips
Other fabulous options
DAY 1: Classic Girls’ Night Out
Land in Vegas and hit the town running! Gather your group, and head to the Cosmopolitan for a dinner experience complete with performers at the "Italian-psychedelic" restaurant Superfrico and a shot-ski at the adjacent, but slightly hidden, Ski Lodge. Then venture down the Strip for a bachelorette must do, a sexy, energetic male revue show. Cap off your night with a drink at the dazzling Chandelier Bar - grab a drink at each level if you're up for it.
Morning
Arrive in Vegas
Arrive and get settled at the hotel!
Midday
This next stop is totally optional. I headed to TAO Beach during the day because I had an early flight and met up with some non-bridal-party friends who happened to be in town, but most of my group didn't arrive until late afternoon.
If you get in early but Tao isn’t your vibe, check out the Strip Sights I recommend on Day 3 as an alternative to fill time.
Depending when your flight arrives, you might skip ahead to start with the evening activities on this itinerary.
Afternoon
Time to get ready!
Freshen up and meet any final arrivals at the hotel
Evening
Pre-dinner cocktails
Dinner
Cocktails
Male Revue Show
Thunder from Down Under was my pick for this itinerary. But, there are some other great shows you might want to consider - just keep in mind locations so you aren’t running around too much.
Nightcap
DAY 2: Pool Day
Change gears from nightlife to daytime fun and book a cabana at one of the Strip's elaborate pools. To keep the party going, head to a day club. Or, for a little more balance & personal time, do what we did and snag a stunning plunge pool cabana at the Venetian. Build in some time to reset & grab dinner - we selected Casa Calavera, a fun, vibrant spot at the Virgin Hotel serving margaritas & Mexican cuisine with a Dia de los Muertos theme. If you were able to revive at the pool, you might be up for a night at a club. But, in the likely case you're slowing down, stick to a night of classic bachelorette games!
Daytime
Pool Cabana
⏳ All Day
💡 Tip: Think about how much party you want at your pool day. We wanted something more chill, so the Venetian Pool was a great pick. But, Tao is basically next door for a more wild option. There are also dozens of other pools to choose from on the Strip. Keep in mind some pools are only open to (or at least give preferential entry to) hotel guests.
My Pick
The Plunge Pool Cabanas at the Venetian
These are incredible, and perfect for a group that doesn’t want to go too crazy. Thatch doesn’t have this in their system, so I’m linking the pool restaurant’s location here. See below for the cabana link.
Dinner
Evening
Bachelorette Games in the Room
This is where it’s nice to have larger rooms or a suite, so you can all have space to hang out!
If you’re up for it, more nightlife on the Strip!
Hit the tables, the bars, or the clubs. But in my experience, people can start to run out of steam by Saturday night, especially after a long day at a cabana, so don’t overbook unless you really know your group!
DAY 3: Recover at Brunch & Head Home
Shake off your inevitable hangover with a final brunch - Bardot Brasserie, Lavo, or Bouchon are all great options. We ended up swapping our reservations around for something more low-key, but incredibly delicious, and headed to Chica (the hangover was very real). Depending on when your group is scheduled for departure, you might partake in one final activity. Consider walking through the retired lights at the Neon Museum, posing for a photo in front of the iconic Vegas sign, or simply exploring the Strip - perhaps taking a gondola ride or exploring the conservatory gardens and fountains at the Bellagio.
Morning
Brunch
Pick from any of these wonderful options!
If You Have Time Before Your Flight
Strip Sights
Take a look around the Strip to see some of the unique sights. You obviously won’t be able to do all of these, but here are some classic options.
Afternoon
Catch your flight home!
Return Home!
With fond memories, new stories, and plenty of photos!
