How Much Does a Vegas Bachelorette Cost in 2026? (Per-Person Breakdown by Group Size)

"How much should we budget?" is the first honest question every bachelorette group asks. Vegas has a wide answer — you can do a memorable weekend for $900 per person or a legendary one for $3,500 — and the answer depends more on group size and pacing than on the venues you pick.

The breakdown below reflects 2026 pricing at mid-Strip properties, actual current table minimums at the top pool clubs and nightclubs, and the fully-loaded per-person cost after resort fees, cover charges, tips, and the two categories groups always forget: pre-trip food/drinks and airport/Uber overhead. Numbers are per person unless labeled otherwise.

Fast Answer: Budget by Group Size

For a 3-day Fri–Sun weekend, mid-Strip hotel, one pool day + one big night + private pregame entertainment:

• Group of 6: $1,650–$2,600 per person
• Group of 10: $1,300–$2,100 per person
• Group of 15: $1,050–$1,750 per person

Group size is the single biggest driver of per-person cost. Fixed costs (Airbnb, cabana, nightclub table minimum) split more people, so bigger groups get cheaper per-head — until you hit ~15 and coordination overhead ruins the trip.

The 8 Cost Categories

Every Vegas bachelorette budget breaks into these eight buckets. We'll fill in dollar figures below.

1. Flights (highly variable by origin city + timing)
2. Lodging (hotel or Airbnb, plus resort fees)
3. Meals (Fri dinner, Sat brunch, Sat dinner, Sun brunch, plus snacks)
4. Pool club / dayclub (cabana or daybed splits)
5. Nightlife (nightclub table + cover + drinks)
6. Private entertainment (the Saturday pregame)
7. Transportation (airport transfer, Ubers, dinner-to-club SUV)
8. Hidden costs (tips, gratuities, welcome bags, gifts, incidentals)

1. Flights

Round-trip domestic flights from top origin cities (2026 average, booked 4–6 weeks out for a Sat wedding-season weekend):

• Los Angeles / Orange County: $110–$220 (or driving 4h)
• Bay Area / Sacramento: $180–$320
• Phoenix: $120–$220
• Denver: $180–$320
• Dallas / Houston: $220–$380
• Chicago / Nashville / Atlanta: $250–$450
• NYC / Boston / East Coast: $320–$525

Book Tuesday-morning flights via Google Flights or Hopper 4–8 weeks ahead for the best pricing. Southwest and Spirit run the cheapest LAS routes but carry-on fees add up. Budget $180 per person as the group-average estimate.

2. Lodging

Hotel on the Strip

A standard weekend rate at a 4-star Strip property (2 guests per room, splitting):

• Cosmopolitan (Terrace room): $380–$580/night = $190–$290/person/night
• ARIA / Bellagio: $360–$520/night = $180–$260/person/night
• Encore / Wynn: $400–$620/night = $200–$310/person/night
• MGM / Vdara / Park MGM: $280–$420/night = $140–$210/person/night
• Resorts World / Palazzo: $310–$460/night = $155–$230/person/night

Resort fee (always extra): $45–$55/night per room, split among room occupants = $22–$28/person/night.

Two-night hotel total per person: $325–$680 depending on hotel and occupancy.

Airbnb (Summerlin / Henderson)

For groups of 10–15, an Airbnb is meaningfully cheaper per person:

• 4-bedroom Summerlin house, sleeps 10: $850–$1,400/night = $170–$280/person for 2 nights
• 5-bedroom Henderson pool home, sleeps 12: $1,000–$1,700/night = $170–$285/person for 2 nights
• 6-bedroom Vegas party house, sleeps 16: $1,400–$2,500/night = $175–$310/person for 2 nights
• Cleaning fee: $250–$500 (adds $17–$50/person)

Full breakdown in our Vegas Airbnb vs hotel guide.

3. Meals

Three days of Vegas food adds up faster than most groups expect. Realistic per-person 3-day totals:

• Friday lunch (quick): $25–$45
• Friday dinner (mid-tier group restaurant): $85–$125 with drinks
• Saturday brunch: $45–$65
• Saturday dinner (Carbone / Catch / Nobu tier): $150–$220 with cocktails
• Sunday brunch (Bacchanal / Wicked Spoon / Mon Ami Gabi): $50–$85
• Snacks, coffees, late-night food: $40–$70

3-day meal total per person: $395–$610. Groups that do one high-end steakhouse (Delmonico, SW Steakhouse, Bavette's — $220–$300/person) rather than Carbone tier can push meals to $700+.

4. Pool Club / Dayclub

Saturday pool cabana or daybed pricing at top Strip dayclubs (2026):

• Marquee Dayclub (Cosmopolitan): daybed $500–$900, cabana $2,000+ min
• Encore Beach Club: daybed $600–$1,200, cabana $3,000+ min
• Ayu Dayclub (Resorts World): daybed $400–$800, cabana $1,800+ min
• Wet Republic (MGM): daybed $400–$700, cabana $1,500+ min
• Elia Beach Club (Virgin): daybed $300–$600, cabana $1,200+ min
• Drai's Beach Club (The Cromwell): daybed $350–$650, cabana $1,500+ min

Split among group of 6: $150–$250/person for a daybed, $250–$400/person for a cabana with minimum bottle spend.
Split among group of 10: $90–$150/person for a daybed, $150–$300/person for a cabana.
Split among group of 15: $60–$100/person for a daybed, $100–$200/person for a cabana.

General admission entry (no reserved seating) is $50–$95/person on Saturday depending on venue. Cheaper but the group ends up standing all day.

5. Nightlife

Saturday nightclub table minimums (bottle service required to hit them):

• XS at Encore: $3,000+ Sat
• Omnia at Caesars: $3,500+ Sat
• Zouk at Resorts World: $2,500+ Sat
• Marquee Nightclub (Cosmopolitan): $2,500+ Sat
• Tao (Venetian): $2,000+ Sat
• Hakkasan (MGM): $2,000+ Sat

Split among group of 6: $340–$580/person
Split among group of 10: $200–$350/person
Split among group of 15: $135–$235/person

General admission alternative: cover charge $40–$80/person + $18–$25 drinks. If the group buys 3 drinks each = $95–$155/person all-in. Cheaper on paper but you'll spend the night standing, waiting for bathrooms, and losing each other.

6. Private Entertainment (Saturday Pregame)

HeatLine VIP delivers private in-suite performances anywhere in Las Vegas — Strip hotels, Summerlin/Henderson Airbnbs, off-Strip properties. Flat group pricing (not per-person):

• Solo performance: $200 flat

• Bartender/host service: $200/hr

Split among group of 6: $33–$88/person for solo/duo/trio
Split among group of 10: $20–$53/person
Split among group of 15: $13–$35/person

This is one of the cheapest per-person line items in the entire trip and consistently rated the top-remembered moment. Full details on the Las Vegas booking page or pricing page.

7. Transportation

• Airport transfer (both directions), split: $12–$22/person
• Ubers around the Strip (3 days, ~6 trips): $45–$80/person
• Private SUV for dinner-to-club (Saturday), split among group of 10: $18–$28/person
• Party bus (Saturday full night, 6 hrs), split among 10: $70–$110/person

Transportation total per person: $85–$170.

8. Hidden Costs (The Ones Groups Forget)

• Tips for cabana / nightclub host / bartender: 18–22% of minimum spend automatically added, plus $50–$100 cash for the cabana host = extra $30–$60/person in a group of 10
• Welcome bags / bride gifts: $25–$60/person if the maid of honor is going all out
• Matching outfits / accessories: $40–$100/person that no one budgets for
• Extra drinks outside of table service: $60–$120/person over 3 days
• Salon / hair / makeup services: $50–$150/person for Saturday styling (in-hotel salons: $95–$180)
• Show tickets (if added): $80–$220 for Absinthe, Magic Mike Live, O, Chippendales
• Damage / cleaning fees at Airbnb: $200–$500 (split)
• Late checkout fees: $50–$120 at most Strip hotels

Hidden costs total per person: $180–$500. This is where budgets balloon — build a $200/person cushion into your quoted budget so no one is shocked by the final tally.

Mid tier ($1,500–$2,000 per person)

How to Talk About Money With the Group

The maid of honor should send a written budget expectation before flights are booked. Suggested framing: "This is what I'm planning — approximate per-person total is $X. If that's out of reach, tell me privately and I'll adjust." Written expectations prevent the awkward Sunday-morning Venmo argument.

Also: decide up front who covers the bride's share. Convention says the group splits the bride's costs. Cheaper to know that ahead of time than to fumble it at each transaction.

Where to Cut Without Killing the Trip

1. Skip Friday dinner reservation. Order in or hit a walk-up spot. Save $60/person.
2. Choose Airbnb over hotel for 10+. Save $150–$250/person.
3. Daybed instead of cabana. Save $80–$150/person.
4. Weekday (Thu–Fri) or Sunday–Monday trip. Pool/club minimums drop 40%.
5. Book flights 6+ weeks out. Save $80–$150/person.
6. Skip welcome bags with matching cups. Nice, not necessary. Save $40/person.

Where NOT to Cut

• The Saturday pregame entertainment. It's the peak of the trip and it's cheap ($20–$60/person). Full detail on our Las Vegas booking page.
• The Saturday dinner. This is the group photo, the story, the memory.
• Airport transfer for arrival. Landing tired and dragging bags in an Uber pool wrecks the vibe.
• The bride's share. Split it. It's not optional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the cheapest a Vegas bachelorette can realistically cost?

$800–$1,000 per person for a group of 10, if you fly Southwest, stay off-Strip or split an Airbnb, skip cabanas, and do general admission at the club. That's fully-loaded including private pregame entertainment.

What percentage of the budget is the "big night"?

Saturday alone (cabana + dinner + club + entertainment) is typically 40–50% of the total trip cost. That's why cutting the smaller costs (Friday dinner, welcome bags) has less impact than picking the right Saturday setup.

Does the bride pay her own way?

The convention is no — the group covers her share. This should be stated in writing before flights are booked so no one is surprised at the Venmo request.

How much cash should I bring for tips?

$150–$250 in cash for bathroom attendants, valet, cabana bartender extras, and Uber tips. Everything else runs on card.

Is a party bus worth it for a group of 10?

Only for the Saturday dinner-to-club transition. Not worth it for airport or brunches. Book for 5–6 hours starting at 8:30 PM.

Vegas bachelorette costs are dominated by group size and how central the "peak Saturday" is. Set a written per-person expectation before flights, use the tables above to size the pool cabana and nightclub table appropriately, and don't skip the pregame — it's the cheapest and most-remembered line item in the whole budget.
