Diva week-end in Vegas
 
We are planning a trip to Vegas to celibrate our girl friend getting married. There will be 4 of us. Can you suggest a nice hotel? We'd like to stay together to save money...but I can't imagin the four of us "divas" sharing a bathroom. Is ajoining rooms the way to go? Or are there such things as a Suite with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Keep in mind we don't want each girl to spend more than 125.00 per night. We want the nicest place for our money. I stayed at the Bellagio last time but doubt my friends could afford that. Basically we want the champ life on the beer budget (ha ha) Also, feel free to offer us tips on LV Spas, Night spots and Restaurants for a Diva's last hurrah. Kisses!!!

Ajoining rooms would probably be your best bet. Although, with 125.00pp budget you may be able to get a 2 bedroom suite for 500.00.(There might only be one bed in each of the bedrooms though.) Where as the ajoining rooms you could get two beds in each room so all you divas would have a bed to herself. (That's something that would be important to this Diva who is a light sleeper.) I would check some of the Hotels websites for what specials they are running. One place that comes to mind is The Mirage. It's a nice hotel with a great pool(although you didn't mention when you are going, so the pool factor may or may not interest you.) It also has a great location. You may also want to check Mandalay Bay.
Good Luck and Have A Great Time!!!!

We went to Vegas a few weeks ago and stayed at the Venitian for $120 a night (Sat & Sun). Take a look at biddingfortravel.com--it may be lower now.

When are you going? 4 guys on reunion could meet.

OK, I like downtown. Golden Nugget the best, but, Fitzgerald is good and inexpenssive.

You can always get a cab and then walk the Strip to get the ambiance. You can save money for gambling or tipping helpful blackjack dealers. When ladies tip the dealer early, just a buck or so, they get very nice attention.

Take the entourage to the Golden Gate in downtown. Oldest casino in Vegas, but also has nice decor and friendly dealers that don't mind beginners.

For my birthday last Dec we had 5 girls in a room at the Venetian for $119 a night. All the rooms there are suites and the bathroom is huge! We had no problems. They also have the canyon ranch spa which we took advantage of!

Assuming your young since you said your friend is getting married, stay at the Palms, get 2 rooms. SHould be about $220/nt weekends so if you do 2 to a room, you're within the budget. You could really get 2 standard rooms anywhere except the 4S for that price - Mandalay, Bellagio, Venetian. Palms probably has teh best party sccene if that's what you're looking for. "Nice" is subjective.

As for nightspots, Skin pool and Ghostbar at Palms, Rio has Voodoo Lounge and Club Rio across the street.

You girls sound like fun. The 'skin pool' with four divas. Grrrrrrr

Treasure Island has some suites with his and hers bathrooms. Got upgraded to one a few years ago: nice.

Another great stay for the girls would be "The Towers" at Caeasars Palace. The Towers are their newest, very elegant buildings. The bathrooms were awesome. Probably 15'x15', all marble with a huge step-up jacuzzi on one side, and a huge shower on the other side of the room (and the toilet is in its' own private little room). The bathroom was so big it could easily accomodate four women getting dressed, but you would probably still rather have two adjoining rooms. If you're into laying around the pool, they have one of the most beautiful pools I've ever seen. Actually a series of three pools, with marble statues all around and beautiful mosiac work in the bottom of the pools (think Greek palace). Five of us went together and rented a cabana for the day. One of the highlights of our trip! The cabanas are very private, right next to the pool. You get free cold drinks and water all day, a free food tray atlunch, a cabana boy to wait on you hand and foot all day, and those wonderful air misters that cool you down. A couple of years ago, this was $75 for the whole day and it was a great experience. Ceasaers is right in the middle of the strip, within walking distance of everything, right next door to the Bellagio. But, if you stay at Ceasars, be sure to ask for rooms in "The Towers".

Also, I have a friend that just stayed at the Venetian for $120. She loved it because she said the room was so big.

If you can go weeknights like Sun Mon Tues instead of Fri Sat Sun, you will be able to go deluxe for that price.

2 rooms works out better, 4 in a room and nobody gets a wink of sleep.
