In the words of Leslie Knope, “Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.”
It's February, and while all of the stores and couples are gearing up for Valentine's Day, us girls cannot forget about Galentine's Day which is just around the corner! February 13th is the official Galentine's Day date. This is pretty much the best day of the year because it's all about celebrating your BFFs. Do something special for your squad and make it a priority to celebrate each other's friendship. Las Vegas is a great place to show your lady friends you love them because there are so many unique spots to go to! Check out these eight great places to celebrate Galentine's Day in Las Vegas to get you started:
1. Brunch at The Grand Lux Café
Inside the Venetian and Palazzo hotel is The Grand Lux Café which has something delicious for everyone. Select breakfast options are served all day and their lunch menu is so extensive you won't be able to make up your mind. Gather your girlfriends for Bellini’s and mimosas to celebrate gal-pals all around!
2. Pajama Party at the Cosmo
Get a room at the Cosmopolitan and have an old fashioned sleepover. Do each other’s hair, makeup and watch scary movies. Reminisce on old memories and do all the games you used to play as a kid. Pig out on pizza and junk food, and don’t forget the champagne!
3. Happy Hour at Double Helix
Happy hour just got better! Celebrate your gal-pals with an after-work cocktail at Double Helix in Town Square. They have impressive wine and whiskey specials.

This is the ultimate night to pass around compliments and cocktails. Put your phones on silent because there will be no texting tonight—especially to significant others! Treat yourself to some me-time and enjoy the company of your closest girlfriends over luxurious Italian cuisine. Scarpetta is great for catering to groups too!
5. Bar Hop Downtown at Fremont East
Why settle for one bar when you can have multiple? Galentine’s Day is just as much of a reason to let your wild side out as any other holiday on the calendar. Hop down Fremont Street and hit all the essentials like Commonwealth, Inspire, Beauty Bar and Vanguard Lounge. All have really good drink specials for locals and on weekdays! It’s like a bachelorette party without the pressure of a wedding!

Sing all your fan-girl favorites at Q Karaoke. This place gives your group your own room, and you can sing among all your female friends all night! Better yet, add a theme. Each girl has to dress up and the best costume wins! Drinks are inexpensive and their munchies are extremely captivating.
7. Group Fitness Pole Dancing Class
You don’t need a valentine to work on those moves. This fitness class is an insane confidence booster. You use muscles you never even knew you had while mastering the art of pole dancing. It doesn’t hurt to know a thing or two in this department. Laugh and make memories with your girls in a private class!
8. Benihana
Dinner and a show! Hibachi tables are always a good time. Great conversations among the communal tables are bound to happen, and talented chefs will keep your eyes glued to the grill. Everyone can order something different and you all can share! It’s like a potluck but you don’t actually have to bring anything… Except your appetite.
9. Spa Day at The M Resort
What better way to celebrate your girls than by doing what girls do best? Manicures and pedicures are the perfect way to spend some quality time with your closest friends.
