Hen weekend · Bachelorette party
The hen weekend, templated on the Strip.
Here is what a Vegas hen actually looks like when we run it — the standard shape a UK bride's group can lift straight from this page. Bend any of it around the bride, the numbers, the budget, the vibe. Every fact is what we actually book, not what a package brochure would sell you.
A Vegas hen — hour by hour
Four days, one bride, no missed reservations.
This is the templated shape. Fri lunchtime arrival, Sun/Mon home. Everything below is what runs on a normal weekend — the specifics (which club, which pool, which restaurant) swap based on what's on and what the bride actually wants.
- 01
Airport pickup at Harry Reid — private transport, not a queue
Sprinter or party bus for the group at baggage claim. Bottled water, phone chargers, a first-drink option if the bride wants one before the wheels are up. Twenty minutes to the Strip; the driver already knows the hotel and the check-in desk.
- 02
Welcome-sign photo stop — the shot the whole group came for
Direct route to the Las Vegas Welcome Sign for the group photo before check-in. Best light window is 4-6pm; the driver waits, the whole thing takes 20 minutes. Sash and any hen accessories on for the photos, off before the door on any nightclub later — see the dress-code guide.
- 03
Day one dinner + a soft-night club table
Book the room the group can settle into on arrival — Mayfair Supper Club at Bellagio for a fountain-facing seating with dinner-theatre programming, or STK at Cosmopolitan for the vibe-dining option. Follow with a soft-night table (Thursday Terrace at OMNIA, midweek Hakkasan) so nobody's blown out on day one.
- 04
Day two — the dayclub, the cabana, the sit-down brunch
Pickup for 11am dayclub doors — LIV Beach at Fontainebleau for the residency programme, OMNIA Dayclub at Caesars for the newer room, or TAO Beach at Venetian for the Daniel-Popper-designed setup. Beach cabana for the group with bottle service and food menu. Brunch happens at the cabana, not a separate reservation.
- 05
Saturday — the headliner nightclub table
The night the whole weekend hangs on. Table at OMNIA, XS (after November re-open), LIV or Hakkasan — chosen against who's headlining that specific Saturday. Table captain who already knows the group; bottle service that shows up before the group hits the door; a route back to the hotel that isn't Uber-surge.
- 06
Sunday — the low-key close
Pool day for the group that's still up for it (Palm Tree Beach Club at MGM is the Sunday move — Kygo's crew, melodic-house programming, easier BPM than Saturday). Or brunch at a restaurant and shopping if the group is spent. Airport transfer for the flight home; the driver's back at the hotel forty minutes before wheels-up.
What we actually handle
Everything above, plus.
- Private airport transfers (both ways) — Sprinter, Escalade or party bus depending on group size.
- Every restaurant, dayclub and nightclub reservation on the itinerary.
- Cabana or club-table bottle service, priced at the venue rates with taxes + gratuity inline.
- Optional spa mornings, brunch reservations, wedding-eve dinners if the trip is a pre-wedding.
- On-trip WhatsApp with the planner — real-time swaps if the bride changes her mind at 4pm on Saturday.
- Optional add-ons — helicopter Strip flight, pool-party cabana upgrades, off-Strip experiences.
We don't quote a per-head number until we know the shape of the trip. Party size, headliner Saturday vs soft Saturday, cabana tier — those move the cost dramatically. Send the brief and we come back with an itemised itinerary within one business day.
Frequently asked
The questions we hear on every hen brief.
- Do you book the hotel?
- No — you pick the room, we build the trip around it. Most hen groups land at Cosmopolitan, Wynn or Fontainebleau; we handle transport and reservations against whatever hotel you've booked.
- Passports, ESTAs, visas?
- Each guest's own responsibility — not something we file for anyone. We'll flag the ESTA + passport timeline when we send the itinerary, but the actual application sits with each hen. Full breakdown in our ESTA-for-stag-and-hen guide at /guides/esta-for-stag-and-hen-do — $40 fee, apply 3+ weeks out for group weekends, common rejection reasons, and the 6-month passport rule.
- Dress code at Vegas dayclubs and nightclubs — what gets in?
- Dayclubs are permissive: swim, cover-up, sandals all fine. Nightclubs (OMNIA, XS, Zouk, Hakkasan) are strict — cocktail dress or dressy top with jeans/skirt, heels or dressy flats. Full per-venue breakdown at /guides/vegas-club-dress-code-explained including the stag/hen accessory rules (subtle sash yes, inflatable veil-and-wand kit no) and how strict the door tightens on F1 or NYE weekends.
- How much extra should we budget for tipping?
- About 15-20% on top of your on-ground spend, roughly £130-180 per hen across a 4-night trip. Bottle service is 18-20% auto-added; separate cash tips for the bartender ($1-2/drink), cocktail waitress, housekeeping ($3-5/night), valet ($2-5). Full category-by-category table at /guides/tipping-in-las-vegas-british-guide.
- How do we get everyone to pay their share?
- We collect deposits directly to the venues holding your tables and cabanas — no LTV planning fee sitting on top. Every quote breaks down taxes, venue fees and gratuities inline so the group treasurer sees the all-in cost per person, not a headline.
- What about adult entertainment?
- We don't put it in the brochure. If the group asks, we can route to hen-friendly options through trade — we don't push it.
- Can we add a wedding-eve dinner if the wedding is in Vegas too?
- Yes — many hen groups are pre-wedding parties for couples marrying in Vegas that same weekend. We coordinate the two together — hen weekend rolling into ceremony without a handover between planners.
- Is a hen do the same as a bachelorette party?
- Same trip, different word. UK bride = 'hen do' or 'hen weekend'. US bride = 'bachelorette party'. We plan them identically — everything on this page applies to both.
