In this case, lux doesn't mean 4 or 5 star hotels and resorts. Lux is the intersection between comfort, design, and extras.

On a weekend trip in Vegas, but I am not your typical “Vegas” gal. Here are some things I did instead.

Las Vegas

Vegas for people who traditionally don’t “Vegas”

I've been to Vegas 8 times, and it's one of my top destinations because you can keep visiting and have totally different experiences every time! You could go there 100 times and never do the same thing. So that means you can definitely use this guide for more than 1 trip.

This guide shares all my top tips for saving money in Vegas (will save you $$$) and rounds up my top  specific place reommendations - mostly budget, but a few SPLURGES if you're up for it!

Comes with an interactive MAP so you can use all my recommendations while you're traveling.

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.

Luxury Vegas Weekend

Bellagio Hotel & Casino

Witness the elegance of the Bellagio's famed fountain show, synchronized to music. 

There is a really pretty garden right off the lobby. If you don't feel like checking out the interior, I would skip this hotel and come back at night. 

The Bellagio fountains are lit up and it's pretty to check out for a few minutes! 

If you want to eat with a view, check out Lago for lunch/dinner. (Reservations highly reccomended)

Bellagio is a 5-star luxury hotel and casino that features elegant rooms, fine dining restaurants, a world-class casino, and the iconic Bellagio Fountains. The hotel also offers the renowned Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, a botanical garden, and a luxurious spa. The hotel is well-known for its upscale ambiance and excellent customer service.

"Great location, beautiful rooms, and exceptional service." - Sarah

A classic Las Vegas resort with the famous fountain show! Check out the hidden speakeasy “The Vault”  

As a Ocean’s 11 series fan, this fountain show is a must see!
