By: Jenna MahoneyMandarin Oriental, Las Vegas
Roll the dice, pop Champagne and enjoy a glittery show in this quintessential party town. Stay at the Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas, a non-gaming hotel, and you’ll have a refined experience while still being in the heart of the action. By day, lounge in a poolside cabana replete with chaises, sofas, butler service and TV. At the spa, which offers a series of steam rooms and relaxation areas, try the hammam treatment, an invigorating scrub and refreshing massage with warm and cool water. Sip Veuve Clicquot and watch the sunset from the Mandarin Bar, 23 floors above the Strip. After, enjoy the delectable foamy concoctions of chef José Andrés at the Cosmopolitan next door and dance at Marquee, the club of the moment (Mandarin Oriental, 3752 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV, rates for the two-night bachelorette getaway package start at $349 per person, per night; mandarinoriental.com).
