"For families seeking a Las Vegas escape brimming with kid-friendly fun and splashtastic adventures, Mandalay Bay shines like a desert oasis. Imagine sun-drenched days spent conquering the 11-acre Mandalay Bay Beach, a water park paradise boasting a wave pool, lazy river, and sandy shores for building epic sandcastles. Little ones will squeal with glee at the Shark Reef Aquarium, where over 100,000 underwater wonders, from playful dolphins to sleek sharks, beckon through mesmerizing glass tunnels. And while the adults unwind by the pool or indulge in a spa treatment, kids can unleash their inner explorers at the interactive Discovery Children's Museum, a wonderland of playful exhibits and boundless learning. So ditch the stereotypes and let Mandalay Bay weave a magical Vegas memory for your whole crew – where laughter echoes as loud as the cascading waterfalls and every day feels like a jackpot of family fun!"

ITINERARY | 3-Day Vegas Bachelorette

THE DAY-BY-DAY GUIDE TO A BACHELORETTE WEEKEND IN VEGAS 👰‍♀️🍾🥂 They say, "What happens here, stays here…," but Vegas is sure to create memories that you'll carry with you for a lifetime. Thanks to its "anything goes" attitude, Vegas has become synonymous with milestone celebrations like birthdays, and even quickie weddings, and of course bachelor(ette) parties. About a year ago, I celebrated my own bachelorette here - and this is my exact itinerary! For context, I didn't originally think of myself as the typical wild child bride that would choose Vegas, and this itinerary definitely reflects that. I'm not a big nightclub person. I didn’t want 24/7 debauchery; I wanted some balance, some time to actually hang out with my bridesmaids. In fact, I was originally picturing parking myself at a swim-up bar in Mexico or the Caribbean, but the remnants of COVID restrictions complicated things. I started looking at stateside options, and Vegas pleasantly surprised me that I could find a good balance in Sin City. Keep reading to check out exactly what we did each day. Viva Las Vegas!
