How do I plan a bachelorette party in vegas on a budget?

Question

Which websites provide the best deals for flights & hotels for Vegas? The bride-to-be would rather not participate in male stripping shows (much to our dismay) but is still up for a good time at nightclubs and shows. Any ideas of what we should do?

Answer 1

"no male strippers" - What's wrong with that girl?

Plan well and you should be able to find great deals. Avoid special events and large conventions. Sunday through Thursday is much cheaper than Friday and Saturday.

My favorite sites to check for LV room rates
http://www.travelworm.com
http://www.tripres.com
http://www.i4vegas.com
http://www.vegas.com

For hotel reviews
http://www.tripadvisor.com
http://www.cheapovegas.com

for info on things to do in LV - including a rating of all the nightclubs, ultrabars etc - Ghost Bar at the Palms is VERY popular. Pure at Caesars and Light at Bellagio are first class..

for flights
http://www.southwest.com

Just in case she changes her mind the Chippendales are at Rio and The Thunder From Down Under is at Excalibur.

Careful - pickpockets and soliciters are everywhere. Keep your wallet in front pocket for guys - and girls need a "belt type purse worn around your waist".

A thought to consider - if you want points, every casino has the "key card" to get your them. You establish a credit account.
They do a credit check on your, and they have your credit report.
Everyone knows what you owe, and every credit card you have, because when your name pops up for casino ID, they instantly have tons of information about you.
That is their "COMP" PROGRAM, and every casino has one.
If that is what you want, you will get just that.

No thanks, no comp program with my credit report advertised to anyone in any casino for me!

But if you want to have fun: Read on -
There are many deals at expedia.com and travelocity.com
lasvegas.com

There are casinos everywhere - so don't feel you have to lose all of your money at one location.
There are roller coasters on top of tall buildings.
There are white tigers on the first floor side area of the Mirage.
There are outside shows at Treasure Island.
Gambling:
There are many where you can lose $50 without even trying, then win $10, then win another $50.
It's easy to lose $100+ a day minimum, so if you're smart
you'll back away if you lose $20 - and try your luck another time, or another day.

Best location, and I stayed there January 2006, was the Mirage and it's next to Treasure Island, across from Venetian Grand canal, and down the street are Bellagio and the Eiffel tower.
You can walk everywhere, or take the bus when your feet get tired (very cheap).

Don't forget to lunch at the Eiffel tower - pricey but great, great food, and across from the fantastic Bellagio fountains that have themes - yes dancing fountains w/music when you're outside to hear.

Lunch also at the revolving restaurant -where you can see all of Vegas during the day - THE STRATOSPHER. The food was magnificent and you can see if you go at lunchtime - where the people of Las Vegas live and the mountains that surround it.

Las Vegas - I saw Jay Leno and he was non-stop for 1 & 1/2 hours of jokes, and we got the last 2 seats in the far section, and it was still somewhat close because the entertainment area was well done!

We went to see Mystere show - and the best is called "O" which means water in French. The stage actually opens for people to dive into, and then closes for people to walk on it.
So amazing.

At the end of 7 days, I was ready to come home. It's exciting, but not enough to say, wow someday I'd consider living there.

GOD bless us one and all, always.

The best deal in town is the Vegas Passports. They even have a special Bachelorette edition. For one price you can get into every club in town once and it gives your the freedom to go where ever when ever.
