There are so many amazing and fun things to do in Vegas that are perfect for a rocking Vegas girls trip. In this post, learn about the world-class shows, grand buffets, best dining restaurants, amazing spas, popular nightclubs, and pool parties that Vegas has to offer.

There are also a lot of free things to explore on the famous Las Vegas Strip, like unique casinos, free shows, and attractions.

The shopping scene in Las Vegas is over the top, and you will find everything from high-end brands to affordable options.

I recently did a girls trip to Vegas for three nights with a group of 10 girlfriends, and we had a blast! This was my 7th visit to Sin City, and over the years, I have seen most of the attractions, shows, and casinos here.

19 Fun Things to Do on Your Las Vegas Girls Trip

Below is a list of amazing things you can do and experience on your Vegas girls trip. Pick and choose the ones that work the best for your group.

It is a good idea to make reservations and bookings for popular attractions in advance of your trip.

Make sure not to pack your schedule with a lot of activities, and leave some time to hang out and chill with your friends.

Also, with a larger group, the logistics of going from one place to the next also take up time.

Things to do in Vegas during the day

Vegas is usually known for nighttime glitz and neon lights, but there is so much to do in Vegas during the day as well. Dive into vast casinos along the Strip. Indulge in top-tier buffets. Kick back at day clubs or poolside lounges. And don’t forget – the shopping scene here is top-notch.

1. Start your morning with a Brunch Buffet

Las Vegas buffets are an attraction in themselves! The best ones are grand and feature food from multiple cuisines like Italian, Asian, American, and Mexican.

There are also a variety of food stations like salads, soups, bread, entrees, pizza, seafood, desserts, ice cream, and much more.

One of the best buffets and the one we tried is the Wynn buffet in the Wynn Resort and Casino.

We went for brunch around noon, and it was ideal as we could have the breakfast dishes like a custom omelet as well as lunch entrees. The buffet had plenty of vegetarian and vegan options and allergy-friendly options.

The Wicked Spoon in the Cosmopolitan Hotel is another popular buffet option. The Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace is also very good.

Tip: Brunch buffets are cheaper than dinner buffets. So if possible go in the morning/afternoon than evening.

Another alternative to brunch is to take a food tour with your friends which will take you to some of the best bites on the Strip.

2. Treat yourself to a Spa day

Enjoy a day of pampering at one of the top luxurious Spas in Las Vegas with your girlfriends! There is no better way to have a relaxing morning or afternoon.

The Spa at Encore, Waldorf Astoria Spa, Qua Baths and Spa at Caesars Palace, Spa at Vdara, and Spa at Aria are some of the best spas in the Vegas Strip area.

These are really top quality world-class spas with a variety of massages and treatments for everyone’s wish list. They all have a wonderful relaxing ambiance, and you and your girlfriends will feel pampered and rejuvenated.

3. Splash at a Dayclub / Pool party

If you are visiting Las Vegas during the summer or fall months, there is nothing like a pool party during the day to have some fun. Day Clubs are parties at popular pools with DJs and drinks.

Some of the best pool parties in Las Vegas are at Encore Beach Club at Wynn Encore and Wet Republic at MGM Grand. They both draw huge crowds and have great DJs playing.

Liquid at Aria is smaller and intimate in size, high-end, and a bit less crowded, but still with a DJ and all the party fun.

Tao Beach Club at Venetian and Daylight at Mandalay Bay are also popular and draw large crowds. Be prepared to pay a lot of money for drinks!

Tip: Look for a promoter online or on social media to get on the guest list and avoid waiting in long lines.

4. Go Shopping or window shopping in Las Vegas!

Las Vegas shopping is world-renowned, and it is a haven for shopping enthusiasts! Shop till you drop with your girlfriends in Vegas.

It is so much fun to check out designer purses and try on brand-name shoes and sunglasses on a girls trip.

You will find all the biggest brand names here for purses, clothes, accessories, jewelry, shoes, and anything else your heart desires. Think of any brand, and there will be a store here.

The best brand-name shopping is at the Forum shops at Caesars Palace and the Grand Canal Shoppes at Venetian.

These are giant indoor shopping malls themed with beautiful décor, and you will feel like you are transported to Europe. These are some of the best places for window shopping in Vegas.

For mid-range and more affordable shopping, the Fashion Show Mall opposite Wynn is a good place to check out. It has brands like Macy’s, Niemen Marcus, Forever 21, Shoe Palace, and high-end brands like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, Pandora, etc.

If outlet shopping is your thing, then check out the Las Vegas North Premium Outlets and Las Vegas South Premium Outlets, which are only a few miles from the north and south end of the Strip.

For fun edible souvenirs check out M&M World and Hersheys Chocolate World near MGM.

5. Check out amazing views at Happy Half Hour at High Roller at the LINQ

The High Roller Observation Wheel is hard to miss and visible from pretty much anywhere on the Strip. We could see it from our villa balcony. The color-changing orbs are so cool at night!

During evenings, they have special cabins with an open bar and bartender for one full rotation of the wheel, which lasts 30 minutes.

You can enjoy drinks with your girlfriends while taking in some magnificent views of the neon lights of the Strip area and casinos, and even The Sphere.

➡ Check rates and availability for Happy Half Hour on The High Roller at The LINQ tickets

6. Try ziplining in Vegas

Looking for some thrill and adventure? Try ziplining on your girls trip to Vegas! The two most popular ziplining options in Las Vegas are the FLY LINQ Zipline in Las Vegas and the SlotZilla in Fremont Street.

FLY LINQ Zipline is the most popular zipline on the Strip. It starts at Las Vegas Boulevard from a 12-story tower, goes over the LINQ Promenade, and ends at the LINQ High Roller.

The best part is you can zipline at the same time with several of your girlfriends, as there are 10+ parallel ziplines.

➡ Check rates and availability for LINQ zipline tickets

Another very popular ziplining in Vegas is SlotZilla Zipline at Fremont Street, also called downtown Las Vegas.

SlotZilla offers two kinds of ziplining experiences, a lower seated zipline experience and a Superhero style higher ziplining experience.

I saw some people flying superhero-style when we visited Fremont Street, and it looked like a lot of fun!

7. Take a Helicopter tour of Grand Canyon

There are so many amazing day trips from Las Vegas to take a break from the neon lights and explore the outdoors.

Taking a full-day or half-day trip to the Grand Canyon via a helicopter tour is a very grand and bucket list experience.

Visiting the Grand Canyon by road can be very long to fit in a weekend trip, but it is very convenient to fly over it and get impressive aerial views.

The tours are half-day or full-day and can include landing inside the Grand Canyon. The helicopter tour that I had taken on a previous trip was an evening tour and included landing in the Grand Canyon.

They provided a picnic of light dinner and champagne, and on the way back, we saw awesome views of the Las Vegas Strip at sunset.

➡ Check rates and availability for this highly rated Grand Canyon Deluxe Helicopter Tour from Las Vegas with landing inside the Grand Canyon. The tour includes Champagne toast and snacks, and hotel pickup and drop off.

Taking a helicopter tour would be a great outdoor activity to do on your girls trip and create memories of a lifetime.

8. Take a Morning trip to Hoover Dam

Another very popular outdoor activity from Las Vegas is a trip to the Hoover Dam.

Hoover Dam is an engineering marvel and is a working dam providing power to Las Vegas. The reservoir created by the dam is called Lake Mead.

Hoover Dam is only 45 minutes by car from Las Vegas, making it very convenient to do a half-day morning trip.

If you are not renting a car in Vegas (we didn’t), then the next best option is to take a half-day morning tour to Hoover Dam, which sometimes includes lunch.

➡ Check rates and availability for this highly rated Ultimate Hoover Dam Tour from Las Vegas With Lunch, it includes a guided tour of the Hoover Dam and lunch. It also includes a bonus stop at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign!

You can also see aerial views of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead from a helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon, and the dam’s massive size is impressive.

Vegas Girls Night Out

Evening is the time to dress up and paint the town red with your girlfriends.

Las Vegas has endlessly awesome things to do for a smashing Vegas Girls Night Out, like taking a Limo, watching a Cirque Du Soleil Show, enjoying artisan cocktails, experiencing fine dining, and finally dancing your heart out at a Nightclub!

9. Ride in a Limo with your girlfriends

A girls night out in a Limo is a very popular thing to do in Sin City. Explore the various attractions on the Strip, and go to a show, dinner, or nightclub in style.

Limos come in various seating capacities; some even seat 12 people! Many limo tours include champagne drinks. Some even come with a professional photographer to capture memories from your night out.

➡ Check rates and availability for this highly rated 1.5 Hr Las Vegas Strip Limo Tour with Champagne and Photographs

You can typically book the limo for a few hours or more and decide which attractions you want to visit. Taking a limo with your girlfriends will be a memorable trip activity.

10. Enjoy Cocktails in the evening

Try some hand-crafted cocktail drinks with your girlfriends at some of the trendiest bars in Las Vegas. Although you will find several bars at every casino, there are some places that are especially noteworthy.

How about a bar that is inside a three-storied floor-to-ceiling crystal chandelier? Head to the Chandelier Bar in Cosmopolitan for some artisan cocktails and some cool photos for your Instagram with the beautiful chandelier in the backdrop.

Other popular cocktail bars are Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace and Skyfall Lounge at Delano Las Vegas. The Skyfall Lounge is on the 64th floor of Delano and offers panoramic views of Las Vegas.

11. Watch an awesome Cirque Du Soleil Show

Watching a show is one of the most popular things to do in Vegas on a girls trip itinerary.

Vegas is home to some of the best shows in various categories, like Cirque Du Soleil shows, Male dance shows, comedy shows, magic shows, and many more.

Some of the best Cirque Du Soleil Shows are O at Bellagio, Ka at MGM, and Absinthe at Caesars Palace. We saw O at Bellagio on this girls trip to Vegas.

O Cirque Du Soleil show at Bellagio was amazing and the whole dynamic changing set design with water was just spectacular. The acrobatic acts and synchronized swimming were jaw-dropping. O is one of the best Cirque Du Soleil shows in Vegas.

➡ Check rates and availability for tickets for O Cirque Du Soleil show at Bellagio.

On a previous trip, I saw KA Cirque Du Soleil at MGM and that was very good too. In comparing the two, I think I like KA better.

KA show had a story to it, and the stage design was just out of this world. I was blown away by the constantly changing stage and the amazing acts and performances.

➡ Check rates and availability for KA Cirque Du Soleil show at MGM.

12. Experience Fine Dining at Amazing Restaurants

You will be spoiled for fine dining options in Las Vegas. Las Vegas has some of the best celebrity chef restaurants to delight your taste buds. You should try at least one fine-dining restaurant on your girls trip to Las Vegas.

➡ Check rates and availability for this highly rated Las Vegas walking tasting tour with Secret Food Tours – it is a small group tour, and you will sample food from several famous chef restaurants like Gordon Ramsay’s on the Strip.

Some popular celebrity chef restaurants are Amalfi by Bobby Flay at Caesars Palace, Nobu at Caesars Palace, and Hell’s Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay at Caesars Palace.

There are so many dining restaurants in most casinos and hotels that you can just walk up to when hunger strikes.

The Grand Canal at Venetian has several amazing restaurants along the water where you can eat. We tried the Canonita Mexican restaurant at Venetian. We received exceptional service, and the food and drinks were delicious.

13. Visit a Nightclub in Vegas

Las Vegas has some really cool and sophisticated nightclubs that you can visit with your girlfriends and have a rocking time dancing the night away!

Some of the best nightclubs in Vegas are Hakkasan at MGM, Omnia at Caesars Palace, Marquee in Cosmopolitan, Tao in Venetian, XS in Wynn Encore, Drai’s at Cromwell and Zouk at Resorts World Hotel.

All of these nightclubs are highly popular due to their really cool venue designs and trending DJs creating the perfect party atmosphere to have fun.

We visited Tao Nightclub in Venetian and had the best time. Entry was free as we got ourselves on the guest list a couple of days earlier. Most nightclubs have free entry for women.

We went a little early, around 11 PM, and got ourselves a large booth. Around midnight it got very crowded. We had tons of fun dancing, having drinks, and taking selfies.

➡ Check rates and availability for this Las Vegas Club or Pool Crawl Experience to get transport and entry into 3 popular clubs on the Strip. You can pick from day club or nightclub excursions.

14. Try your luck at the Casino

A trip to Vegas is incomplete without trying your luck at the Casino. Almost every major hotel on the Strip has a casino, and you can enjoy the slot machines or try your hand at one of the table games.

We had a great time exploring the various slot machines. The Game of Thrones and the Sex and the City slot machines were so much fun!

Tip: You can play directly with cash, there is no need to get a casino card to play the slot machines.

15. Watch a show at The Sphere Las Vegas

The Sphere is the newest and hottest attraction on the Las Vegas Strip! This music and entertainment venue is shaped like, well, a sphere!

There are cool image displays on the exterior of the building, which is made of thousands of programmable LED panels.

The Sphere is near the Venetian resort and holds concerts and shows. But the exterior of the building is creating more buzz with its unique displays!

Definitely drive by at night time to see the stunning displays on the exterior of the building. They are phenomenal!

You can also see the Sphere in the night from the LINQ Observation Wheel and it looks really cool from up there!

Free things to do in Las Vegas with Girlfriends

You and your girlfriends can have a fabulous time in Las Vegas without spending on attractions and shows. There are so many awesome free things to do on a girls trip to Vegas.

16. Explore the Las Vegas strip

Casino hopping is a great way to spend time in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas strip is lined with unique themed casinos like Venetian, Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Wynn, MGM Grand, New York New York, Paris, Aria, and many more. I recommend visiting at least these casinos:

• Venetian – Experience Venice with gondola rides and intricate Italian architecture.
• Cosmopolitan – A chic and contemporary space, perfect for those looking for modern vibes. The chandelier Bar is here.
• Bellagio – Don’t miss the famed fountain show, a mesmerizing dance of water and lights, and the Conservatory of Flowers.
• Caesars Palace – Step back in time and experience the grandeur of ancient Rome. The Forms Shops here are great for checking out top luxury brands.

Walking around the Strip and taking in the sights and neon lights is a great way to spend an evening in Vegas.

The Flamingo Wildlife Habitat at Flamingo Hotel is a cool attraction. The Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens are very beautiful, with seasonal displays of hundreds of plants and flowers.

17. Take some cool photos for your Instagram

Las Vegas has several Instagram-worthy photo ops for your girls’ trip!

Start your girls trip by taking a group picture at the ‘Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas’ iconic sign. This sign is at the southern end of the Strip in the median divider on Las Vegas Boulevard.

The Chandelier bar in the Cosmopolitan Hotel is also a great location to snap some cool pictures with the crystal chandelier in the background.

Some other popular photo spots are with the New York Skyline in front of the New York New York Hotel and Casino.

The Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens have really beautiful landscaped gardens, which make a great backdrop for photos.

If your girls’ group is anything like mine, I am sure you will all be taking selfies at every corner!

18. Visit Downtown Las Vegas for Fremont Street Experience

For a true Las Vegas experience, visit Fremont Street, which is also called downtown Las Vegas. Here, there are free live shows in the evenings and many street performers. There are several casinos here, like Golden Nugget Casino and 4 Queens Casino.

Fremont Street’s main attraction is the Viva Vision Light Show which is a spectacular digital show displayed on a canopy built over the entire Fremont Street. The digital show is accompanied by some great music. The show happens every hour and lasts around 10 minutes.

The SlotZilla Zipline is very popular here at Fremont Street and has two kinds of ziplining fun to experience – the lower chair style zipline and the higher Superhero style zipline. Have some fun zip-lining across Fremont Street with your girlfriends.

Visiting Fremont Street and watching the Viva Vision Light Show is free, and the SlotZilla Zipline is paid.

19. Watch free shows on the Strip

There are several casinos that have free shows on the Las Vegas Strip, which are worth your time.

The most popular free show is the Bellagio fountain show in front of the Bellagio casino. The dancing water fountains to music, and lights are phenomenal to watch.

The Mirage Volcano show in front of Mirage Casino is a great show with fire, light, and music elements.

The Fall of Atlantis is a free show at Caesars Palace Forum shops with animatronics, fire, water, lights, and sound.

There are free shows with Circus acts at Circus Circus Hotel and Casino that are fun to watch if you are in the area.

3-day Itinerary for Vegas Girls Trip

So now you have a general idea of all the fun things to do in Vegas with your girlfriends. But how do you put them together in an executable itinerary? Fret not!

Below is a suggested itinerary for your 3-day weekend getaway to Vegas with your girlfriends. Feel free to switch things around or leave them out as per your group’s interest.

With a large group it takes more time to coordinate everyone, so don’t worry if you cannot do a lot. Even a couple of things each day with your friends will make lasting memories!

If your group is into spending some time exploring the amazing outdoor attractions near Vegas, like Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, and Valley of Fire, you can add those to your itinerary.

If you are more into clubbing all hours of the day and night, there are plenty of club suggestions to fill all three days.

Thursday Night: Settling into Sin City

Hotel Check-in and Pool Relaxation – You might be arriving quite late in the day on Thursday. Once checked in, maybe check out your hotel pool area with your friends and see what else is nearby.

Get Dinner and Catch Up– Feeling famished? Step out and explore nearby restaurants. Alternatively, most Vegas casino hotels have food courts with a variety of cuisine options. If you are like my friend’s group, you can also Door-dash food to your hotel room and just catch up with your friends. I am sure there must be a lot of gossip to get through before you take on Vegas!

Friday: Explore Las Vegas

Brunch at Wynn Buffet – Start your day with a lavish spread at the Wynn Buffet. Their diverse offerings will ensure everyone finds something they love. The wait lines to get a table were long; we waited around 45 minutes, but it was worth it, as the food options were great. You can also make advance reservations on the Wynn website.

Explore some iconic casinos on the Strip – You cannot come to Vegas and not see the magnificent casinos here. You do not have to gamble; these casinos are incredible to just walk around and take in the grandeur. I recommend seeing at least Venetian, Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, and Caesar’s Palace.

Book a Spa Session: After walking the casinos, book a spa treatment at one of the luxurious spas such as Qua Baths and Spa at Caesars Palace, Spa at Vdara, or Spa at Aria. Their renowned treatments will rejuvenate you, prepping you for the Vegas nights ahead.

Watch a Cirque du Soleil show in the evening – This is a must-do in Vegas. I recommend Ka at MGM Grand and O at Bellagio.

Dinner at Nobu – Experience upscale Japanese dining at Nobu in Caesars Palace.

Omnia Nightclub – Elevate your night by heading to the multi-level Omnia Nightclub. Dance the night away to top DJs’ beats.

Saturday – Outdoor Adventures and Clubs

If you would like to explore some outdoor attractions, you can do them on Saturday after exploring Vegas to your heart’s content on Friday. If not, you can do the other Vegas options listed below.

Brunch at The Wicked Spoon – Start your morning with brunch at this popular spot in the Cosmopolitan Hotel.

Hoover Dam Tour in the morning – You can take this 3-hour tour of Hoover Dam in the morning, with an upgrade option to also visit the colorful Seven Magic Mountains art installation.

Day Club / Pool Party in the afternoon – Dive into an energetic atmosphere with music, cocktails, and sun at Wet Republic at MGM or Encore Beach Club at Wynn Encore.

Shopping – From high-end boutiques to quirky souvenir shops, Vegas is a shopper’s paradise. Indulge in some retail therapy at upscale places like the Forum Shops at Ceasars Palace or affordable shopping at the Fashion Show Mall.

Grand Canyon Helicopter Flight: Experience the majestic Grand Canyon with a quick helicopter flight from Vegas. This Grand Canyon helicopter tour has a landing inside the canyon with a champagne picnic. I did this one with my hubby, and it was super cool.

Happy Half Hour at High Roller at the LINQ – Check out amazing views of the Strip neon lights and even The Sphere from this popular Vegas attraction. Select pods will have a bartender for unlimited drinks at Happy Half Hour.

Nightclubs – Choose from an array of nightclubs like Hakkasan at MGM, Marquee in Cosmopolitan, or Tao in Venetian. Whether you’re looking for a quiet lounge or a pulsating dance floor, Vegas has it all.

Sunday – Get some more Vegas vibes before departure

Depending on the time of your flight, you might be able to get some more Vegas fun on your last day.

You can get another brunch at the Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace, lounge at a day club, enjoy another pool party, explore some more casinos, do some souvenir shopping, or simply relax by your hotel pool with your friends.

Planning a Girls Trip to Vegas: FAQs

It is important to plan a few things before your trip and ensure you take care of logistics before arriving. That way, you can relax and enjoy once you reach Vegas.

Why is a girl’s trip necessary?

I truly believe spending quality time with girlfriends is very important for every woman. It is therapeutic, relaxing and rejuvenates your soul.

It’s fun to get away from your work and family once in a while and enjoy a girls-only trip or long weekend getaway. Do fun experiences as a group and catch up on all the gossip.

Is Vegas good for a girls trip?

Las Vegas is the ultimate destination in the United States for a girls’ trip or long weekend getaway. There are so many fun things to do here, like watching world-famous shows, hitting day pool parties and nightclubs, indulging in gourmet buffets, fine dining by celebrity chefs, treating yourself to a spa day, and world-class shopping.

When is the best time to visit Las Vegas?

The best time to visit Las Vegas is in early spring and late fall. Late February to May and September to mid-December are the best months to visit as the weather is moderate, and flight and hotel prices are reasonable.

Winter months, especially Christmas to New Year’s, are peak tourist season, and so is February during the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day. Flights and hotels are expensive during this time.

Summer months from June to September are incredibly hot as Las Vegas is a desert region.

How many days are needed in Las Vegas?

You need at least two days and three nights in Las Vegas to experience the city and all that it has to offer. Anything less than that is not enough and will feel rushed.

I recommend planning your trip around the weekends (Friday to Sunday) to catch the best shows and best DJs at clubs. We arrived on a Thursday night and left on Sunday afternoon and it was the perfect amount of time to explore Vegas with friends.

If you plan to visit National Parks near Vegas you need to add more days to your Las Vegas itinerary.

How to get to Las Vegas?

The best and quickest way to get to Las Vegas is by flight. The main airport here is the Harry Reid International Airport. The airport is only 10 minutes by cab from the Las Vegas Strip, which is the main casino area in Las Vegas.

If you book your flights a couple of months in advance, you can get really good deals on flights to Las Vegas. It is not uncommon to find flights as cheap as $50 to $250 one way, depending on the time of the year and the day of the week.

You can pre-book an Airport Transfer Service from Las Vegas airport to your hotel. You can also book a rideshare (Uber/Lyft) or take a taxi from the airport.

➡ Check rates and availability for this private luxury Limousine Service for airport transfer, which can take eight passengers. You can book the return transfer through this same service.

Where to stay in Las Vegas with friends?

There are endless options to stay in the Las Vegas strip area for every budget. The best location to stay on the Strip is the Center Strip, so you can walk to several casinos on the North and South Strip.

Las Vegas Center Strip

Venetian and Palazzo enjoy central location. Venetian has the Tao Nightclub, the Gondola ride, and the Grand Canal Shoppes for shopping.

Caesars Palace is centrally located and has the Forum shops for shopping and a great food court.

Bellagio is on the Center Strip as well, and home of the ‘O’ Cirque du Soleil show.

Las Vegas South Strip

Aria is a modern hotel with great décor, a great location, and restaurants.

MGM Grand is on the South end of the strip and is home to the Ka Cirque du Soleil show. It has a great food court.

Mandalay Bay has a huge pool complex and is popular for pool parties.

Las Vegas North Strip

Wynn is a little further up on the North Strip but hosts one of the best buffets in Vegas.

Encore is right next to Wynn and more upscale, with great restaurants.

There are several nice vacation clubs near the Strip, and many of them have larger one or two-bedroom villas with kitchen amenities.

We booked several villas in the Holiday Inn Vacation Club for our Vegas girls’ trip. The villas had two bedrooms each, a living room, and a kitchen, which gave us enough room to spread out and have late-night chats in the living area.

Hilton Grand Vacations Club is another great option for larger suites.

➡ Check rates and availability for your stay in Las Vegas

How to move around in Vegas

Getting a rideshare like Uber or Lyft is the best way to quickly reach hotels, casinos, and restaurants in the Strip area and to /from the airport. Most rideshares arrive in less than 5 minutes of booking.

Cabs and Taxis are also easily available outside each hotel/casino.

Another budget-friendly option is to rent a car from the Las Vegas International Airport and drive around yourself. This is especially convenient if you are planning to go out of the city to nearby places like Hoover Dam for half-day trips.

7 Travel tips for your Vegas Girls Trip

Below are some of my tried and tested travel tips that will ensure that you have a great time on your girls’ weekend in Vegas while also saving some money.

Tip #1: Book flights early to save money

As soon as you finalize your travel dates, book your flights to get the best deals on airfare. If you book months in advance, you can get flights as cheap as $50 one way to Vegas from many cities.

Tip #2: Get larger suites that can be shared

Getting larger suites with two bedrooms or more, which a big group can share, will not only save money but will ensure a terrific slumber party with your girlfriends.

There is nothing more fun than cozying up near the fireplace with your friends and talking and gossiping till morning!

Tip #3: Make advance reservations for shows and dining

As soon as your flights are finalized, make reservations for the shows you want to see to ensure the best seats for your price range. Also, make dining reservations for high-end table service restaurants to avoid hours of wait times.

Tip #4: Get on the guest list for Day Clubs and Nightclubs

This is a very important tip to avoid waiting hours in line and even save money. Find a promoter for the Day Clubs and Nightclubs you want to visit either online or on Instagram and get on the guest list.

You will save time waiting in the regular line and can sometimes also avoid the entrance fee for your girls’ group.

Tip #5: Wear good walking shoes

There is a lot of walking in Las Vegas. Even if you take Uber for Casino hopping, the casinos themselves are huge, and it takes a lot of walking to explore them. Good walking shoes will go a long way!

Tip #6: Use food courts for some meals to save money

Using table service restaurants for every meal can quickly get expensive, especially if you are staying for more days. There are several excellent food courts at most of the casinos where you can grab quick bites like burgers and pizza for less.

Tip #7: Use Rideshare like Uber / Lyft for casino hopping

It is so convenient to use Uber for casino hopping as they arrive in less than 5 minutes. This saves considerable time and energy walking, and you have more time to enjoy your Las Vegas girls’ trip. We did this throughout our trip, and it was really helpful. It can take a really long time to walk from one casino to another, even if they are right next to each other.
