Packages range from the Final Fling, which includes VIP entry to the nightclub or Tao Beach and two drink tickets for $25 per person, to the extravagant Champagne Stagette, which includes a bottle of Dom Perignon inside the nightclub, a cake presentation and a Hypnotiq gift bag complete with a boa and booty shorts for the bride-to-be, plus two deejay shout-outs, a VIP table with security service and complimentary limo transportation back to your hotel. Tao’s bachelorette coordinators can also assist with additional party details, such as setting up hair and makeup appointments or booking a professional photographer. Another popular venue with bachelorettes is Tao’s sister hot spot, Lavo, inside the Palazzo, where Carrie Underwood celebrated her pending wedding to Mike Fisher. The 5,000-square-foot nightclub offers bachelorette party packages similar to Tao’s, including specialty menus at its Italian restaurant that feature complimentary champagne toasts and a chef’s selection of sweets. In addition to Underwood, Melissa Rycroft celebrated part of her bachelorette party weekend at Lavo and Ginnifer Goodwin threw her sister’s bachelorette party there last September. For more on Tao or Lavo’s bachelorette offerings, call 702.388.8588.
Hugely popular with bachelorettes is the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, where Katy Perry celebrated part of her bachelorette festivities. For those planning a more intimate gathering, the rockin’ resort is currently offering a Vanity room package through Aug. 31 that’s perfect for brides-to-be. For $499, guests will receive a two-night stay at the resort plus VIP table reservations at Vanity nightclub for up to four people and a complimentary bottle of Skyy Vodka and mixers. Guests can recover the next morning at Reliquary, the resort’s lavish spa, which features fun bachelorette activities like pole dancing classes. For just $40 per person for groups of four or more (which includes access to the spa), ladies will receive a 75-minute lesson on basic pole dancing moves from Aradia Fitness and learn a whole lap dancing routine the bride-to-be can use on her wedding night! For more information, call 702.693.5000.

Bachelorettes will enjoy testing their stamina on Gilley’s mechanical bull. Cover charges may be waived for bachelorette parties with advance notice on Friday and Saturday nights when there’s live music, otherwise admission is free. Call 702.894.7147 for details. 2
