These days, going on your typical Vegas vacay to celebrate the soon-to-be bride with her BFFs can be a bit draining, especially if your crew is more into relaxing poolside than hitting up flashy casinos. That’s why luxury hotels and spas are catering to laid-back brides with a selection of low-key bachelorette party experiences, from English-inspired escapes Kate Middleton would envy to luxury spa’rties featuring treatments, bridesmaid gift bags, and more. Check out these relaxing picks for the best bachelorette weekend that will create lifelong memories for the chill (and happy!) bride.

They also have their very own wedding menu, featuring six-month and one-month rituals for brides and a Pamper Together package for the bachelorette party to enjoy. Plus, this is the spot where Kate Upton is hosting her bridal shower in October, so you know it’s got to be good. (Photo via The Plaza Hotel)
