Expert: Simon Weatherley Date: 6/18/2008 Subject: Bachelorette Party
Question Hi there!
Some of my friends are working on planning my bachelorette party for the weekend of October 17th-October 19th. They want me to give them an answer as to where I would like to stay and have no idea where to begin. I have only been to Vegas once, and stayed at the new towers at the Luxor. While I enjoyed my stay there, I would like to try someplace else....we will need between 7-9 rooms, and would like somewhere on the strip, with a great pool, and not too outrageously priced. Where do you suggest? Do you know of any "bachelorette" packages/rates that might be available?
Thanks so much in advance!!!!
Answer Hi Alyze,
Well 7-8 rooms for a bachelorette party well you are going have fun ;-)
The hotel that springs to mind straight away sis MGM Grand, its big, it has a great location and it has a great pool, the rooms are above average size and it has by far the most comftable beds and with some of the offers there it probably represents some of the best value on the Strip. It has a lovely Spa and a great salon yes the MGM will suit you very well. Failing that the Mirage is our favourite hotel it’s more up market but there are some good deals the spa there is heaven and the pool again one of the best in Vegas and a bit more grown up than MGM. I can understand that you have stayed at Luxor but its becoming a real force with regards to new bars and clubs it has really taken on a transformation in the last 12 months (though the rooms have not changed) the pool is not as great as MGM well I guess you know what its like, Luxor will be the cheapest option. To get the best deal you need to book directly with the hotel this means that you get the best possible rate and ideally you use a code or link to give you a special offer, unless you book a non refundable room you will only pay the first night as deposit, you can also cancel up to 48 hours before check in and best of all if the rate drops you will be able to call up the hotel and they will drop your rate to match it.
This link will take you to the MGM Grand booking page and the only code valid for your stay is MKT093 this gives you 241 Spa and $25 dining credit as well

I think that this is best value link for anywhere at the minute for the Mirage from $72 a night and the next link Suites from $133

This is the best option for the Luxor

I have just got helped a friend organise a Stag night or 15 people and he had 8 rooms what he did was send the link round to everyone and they all booked individually so that he did not have to put a loading on his credit card it makes things so much easier.
As far as your night out I go I suggest that you have a look at www.nitetours.com its owned by a friend of mine, Darin Feth for me it’s the only way to do clubbing in Vegas you save money, you get taken around in a limo, your cover charges are included and you don’t stand in line (which seems to be way you spend most of your time when clubbing in Vegas), you can email Darin at Dfeth@nitetours.com and tell him Simon sent you he will look after you.
If I can be of further help please do not hesitate to contact me either here or via email simon@vegasuncovered.com
