Let’s be honest—moms deserve more than a quiet bath at the end of a long day. If you and your crew are ready to trade diapers and to-do lists for cocktails and cabanas, Las Vegas makes a great pick for a well-earned escape. With top-rated spas, incredible dining, live shows, and plenty of ways to relax or explore, a trip to Vegas doesn’t have to be all about casinos and late nights. Whether you’re planning a girls’ weekend or squeezing in a getaway between school runs and sports practice, this three-day Las Vegas itinerary gives you time to unwind, reconnect, and have a whole lot of fun.

Day 1: Arrival & Glamorous Start

When you first touch down in Las Vegas, grab your suitcase, rally up your gals, and breeze into your hotel for check-in. You’ve got great options like The Cosmopolitan, The Venetian, or the Wynn—all offering spacious suites, excellent service, and, frankly, some pretty fun Instagram backgrounds. Each of these properties has top dining, world-class pools, and gorgeous lobbies. By lunchtime, get glammed up and head over to The Cromwell for a reservation at Giada. Located on the second floor with views of the Strip, this Italian spot serves handmade pasta you’ll dream about long after your trip.

After lunch, trade your heels for spa robes. Canyon Ranch Spa inside The Venetian is practically its own retreat—with a full menu of luxurious massages, skin treatments, and fitness rooms. If you prefer something with Roman flair, Qua Baths & Spa over at Caesars Palace offers warm baths, cool plunge pools, facials, and steam rooms that melt stress away.

When evening rolls around, it’s time for some entertainment. Cirque du Soleil’s “O” at Bellagio pulls out all the stops with aquatic acrobatics, while A-list residencies turn a night out into a major event. Afterward, book a late dinner at Beauty & Essex inside The Cosmopolitan or STK at The Palazzo. Both of these venues boast inventive cocktails and shareable dishes that are meant to be passed around while plotting the night ahead.

Day 2: Explore, Shop & Savor

Skip the basic hotel lobby coffee and head instead to Brew Tea Bar or Urth Caffé. Brew Tea has creative boba drinks and refreshing matcha options, while Urth takes a more organic approach with coffees, green teas, handmade pastries, and a fresh breakfast menu.

Now it’s time to swap your sandals for sunnies and head toward the pool. Whether you choose a lounger or a private cabana, this is your stretch of luxury. The Wynn and The Venetian both offer resort-style pools that make it easy to unwind, and if you’re feeling extra, order a round of poolside cocktails or go for a spa lunch delivered right to your lounger. Of course, some hotels also offer rooftop yoga or group wellness classes in the morning if your crew is more active.

Ready for brunch? Mon Ami Gabi at Paris Hotel is a must. Sit outside on the patio for prime Strip views and people-watching while you sip on cocktails and dive into French-inspired classics. If you’re in the mood to shop, you’ve got two standout options. The Forum Shops at Caesars mix high-end brands with affordable favorites and are known for their curved escalators and Roman aesthetics. Snap a pic in front of the Bellagio fountains while you’re at it—it’s iconic, free, and hard to resist.

If you’d rather keep it light and get a piece of Vegas history, the Neon Museum is a fun stop. You’ll roam while looking at vintage Vegas signs that tell the city’s backstory in photos and neon. Later, take a ride to the Arts District or Fremont East. These neighborhoods give you a taste of Vegas away from the mega resorts. Grab dinner at Esther’s Kitchen, known for handmade pasta and wood-fired everything, or bar-hop at cool spots with live music and fun cocktails. If your group loves karaoke, Cat’s Meow delivers the full lights-and-lyrics experience.

Day 3: Wellness & Wrap-Up

For the final morning, swap downtown for desert. Red Rock Canyon is only about a 30-minute drive from the Strip and gives you that fresh-air energy you didn’t know you needed. Go for a casual hike or take the scenic road loop with designated overlooks perfect for group photos. Prefer to stay local? Downtown and the Strip have several studios offering sound baths, meditation sessions, or breathwork classes.

Back in town, sit down for one final brunch. Sadelle’s inside Bellagio checks every box: comfortable seating, thoughtful details, and a menu of smoked salmon towers and sweet treats. Bardot Brasserie at Aria also delivers a cozy vibe with avocado croissants and French toast that’s seriously indulgent. Before heading to the airport to fly home, make a quick detour to Downtown Container Park to scoop up local souvenirs—everything from quirky magnets to artisan snacks. It’s an easy way to hold onto part of the trip, and maybe grab a little something for the family while you’re at it.

Three days in Las Vegas can go fast, but when you fill it with fun quality time with your fellow moms, it feels like you hit pause on real life in the best way. Whether it’s the spa glow, the desert breeze, or just a rare uninterrupted conversation over cocktails—Vegas is the getaway you need.
