Las Vegas Girl’s Trip Map

Below is a map of all the spots mentioned in this article.  

The Best Things to do During Your Las Vegas Girls Trip

Blowouts at Dry Bar

There’s no better way to start your girls weekend in Vegas than with a fresh blowout! Dry Bar is a hair salon that provides hair styling services, aka blowouts. The location in the Cosmopolitan Hotel even has a cocktail bar. 

Getting your hair done with a cocktail in hand is the perfect start to a weekend in Vegas! 

Visit the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens 

The Bellagio Hotel Conservatory always has the most exquisite flower gardens. The botanical gardens are located directly near the main entrance of the hotel & casino. They are on a seasonal rotation and they switch up the gardens five times per year. This is also a completely free thing to do in Las Vegas.

Tip: It does get quite crowded. I suggest visiting in the morning if you want to avoid large crowds. 

Bellagio Fountain Show 

While you are at the Bellagio, you have to see the iconic Bellagio water show. You can watch the fountains at the Bellagio every 30 minutes from 3 PM to 8 PM Monday through Friday (during the weekends the shows start at 12 PM). This is another fun free activity in Las Vegas. 

Slot Machines 

A Las Vegas girls trip isn’t complete without gambling at slot machines. You’ll find them absolutely everywhere, at every hotel, even at the airport. 

I’ve never had the best luck playing slots but it’s fun to hop around hotels playing slots and enjoying the free cocktails. (Yes, you get free cocktails while gambling).

Vanderpump Cocktail Garden 

There are two Vanderpump Cocktail locations in Vegas. There is Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Caesar’s Palace and Vanderpump à Paris in the Paris hotel. The vibe at both is amazing and the drinks are great as well. 

I’ve had a few appetizers at the Caesar’s location and the food is just as amazing as the drinks. You have to try the stuffed dates. They are so good.  

Table Games 

Take your gambling up a notch and test your luck at table games. Check out this casino guide to learn some gambling tips. 

I am by no means an expert at gambling in Vegas, but blackjack is fun to play! 

Las Vegas Entertainment

Seeing some sort of show in Vegas is a must to add to your girl’s trip itinerary. Las Vegas is home to some of the best entertainment in the country. There are always great comedy shows, concerts, and the iconic Cirque Du Soleil shows. 

I suggest doing research to see what shows will be in Vegas during the time of your trip. You can also ask your hotel – they should have great suggestions. I’ve seen Mystere by Cirque Du Soleil and Opium – both were amazing. 

Hotel Hop Down The Las Vegas strip 

Las Vegas has some of the most unique hotels in the world. The architecture is so fun to admire and they all offer all sorts of different activities.

It’s always fun to grab a drink at different bars in the hotels and people-watch. You can also do some shopping while you’re at it. 

Hotels to Visit in Las Vegas: 

• The Venetian: Go for a gondola ride.  
• The Palazzo 
• Caesar’s Palace: See the Trevi Fountain. 
• The Cosmopolitan: Have a cocktail at the Chandelier Bar.
• The Wynn: Visit Bar Parasol. 
• Luxor: There is a museum here in Luxor.  
• Excalibur: Admire the castle.  
• The Bellagio: Watch the fountain show. 
• The Paris Hotel: See the Eiffel Tower.
• New York New York: Ride the roller coaster. 

Photos at The Welcome to Las Vegas Sign 

One of the best photo spots in Las Vegas and a common tourist stop is the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign. If you visit in the middle of the day, expect a line for photos. It’s located at 5200 Las Vegas Blvd S, Las Vegas, NV. 

Gondola Ride at The Venetian Hotel  

The Venetian Hotel offers indoor and outdoor gondola rides in traditional gondolas. The cost is $29 per person during the week and $36 per person during the weekend. 

Although this won’t compare to a real gondola in Venice, this is certainly a unique thing to do in Las Vegas. According to their website, reservations must be made in person. 

The High Roller 

For an incredible view of the Strip from a different perspective, go for a ride on the High Roller. This is the massive Ferris wheel on the strip in Las Vegas. It’s known as the world’s tallest observation wheel. 

The High Roller is located at the LINQ Promenade and you can purchase tickets online or on site. There is even a happy hour option where you can enjoy an open bar in your cabin during the ride. 

Cocktails at The Chandelier Bar

A Las Vegas girl’s trip isn’t complete without having a cocktail at the famous Chandelier bar at the Cosmopolitan. During the weekend there may be a wait but it shouldn’t be too long. 

Drinks are very pricey here, but I think it’s worth it for one cocktail. This cocktail bar is such a vibe – a Las Vegas staple. 

Spa Day 

If you need a chill day in Vegas or a detox, book a spa day at the Canyon Ranch Spa. 

Shopping!

There are plenty of spots for shopping in Las Vegas including the Fashion Show Mall, the shops at the Palazzo, and Caesar’s Palace Forum Shops. You can find just about anything in Las Vegas.  

Get a Break From The Strip on Fremont Street 

For slightly more affordable drinks and a break from the busy strip, visit Fremont Street. Fremont Street is a vibrant part of downtown Las Vegas known for its entertainment, casinos, street performers, and shopping. 

Here, you’ll find a much different vibe than on the strip. Fremont Street provides a taste of old-school Las Vegas with a lively and colorful atmosphere. 

Helicopter Ride Over The Strip 

For a unique perspective of Las Vegas, take a helicopter ride over the strip. Book a tour below. 

Visit The 7 Magic Mountains in Las Vegas 

If you need a break from the city, you can visit the colorful rocks in Vegas – known as the 7 Magic Mountains. These rocks are located about 30 minutes from the strip and are a unique photo spot. 

Honestly, there’s not much to do here besides snap a couple of photos but it’s a cool spot to visit in Nevada. Read more about the Seven Magic Mountains Las Vegas here.
