Valentine’s Day is great, but Galentine’s Day is where the real magic happens. February 13 is all about celebrating friendships, shared memories, and unapologetic fun with your favorite girls. If you’re deciding where to go, Las Vegas checks every box: sunshine, glam hotels, rooftop parties, unforgettable dinners, and plenty of moments worth dressing up for.
Whether you’re flying in for a long weekend or planning a girls’ getaway from nearby, this guide breaks down how to plan the ultimate Galentine’s Day trip to Las Vegas in 2026.
Why Vegas is Perfect for a Galentine’s Day Trip
Las Vegas is built for celebration, and Galentine’s Day fits right in. February weather is mild, crowds are lighter than peak holiday weekends, and the city is full of experiences that feel special without being overly romantic. It’s a destination where you can lounge by the pool during the day, glam up for dinner at night, and end with cocktails and skyline views.
For women visiting Vegas, Galentine’s Day is a chance to enjoy:
- Poolside hanging for some fun in the sun
- High-energy nightlife without Valentine’s pressure
- Luxury dining and cocktail lounges
- Photo-worthy experiences made for group trips
- Events specifically designed for celebrating friendships
Best of all, Vegas lets your group choose the vibe: relaxed, bold, indulgent, or all of the above.
Your Las Vegas Galentine’s Day Itinerary
Lounge at the Pool
A Las Vegas pool? In winter? Yes! No girls’ trip to Circa is complete without time at Stadium Swim®. Even in February, this iconic pool amphitheater stays heated along with heated cabanas and plush robes, making it one of the best daytime hangouts in Las Vegas year-round.
You can grab drinks, order some poolside food, soak up the sun, hang out on one of the six heated pools, and watch the massive screen – all while catching up with your friends. It’s the ideal way to start February 13 before transitioning into a night of cocktails and celebrations.
Why Stadium Swim works for Galentine’s Day:
- Heated pools for winter-friendly lounging
- Plenty of space for groups
- A social atmosphere that still feels relaxed
Pre-Dinner Drinks with the Girls
Before heading to dinner, kick off your Galentine’s night at Vegas Vickie’s inside Circa with one of the best gals in town – the giant neon Vegas Vickie herself! This retro-modern cocktail lounge is known for its upbeat vibe, classic-meets-creative drinks, and Instagram-worthy atmosphere.
It’s lively enough to feel festive but still relaxed enough to enjoy conversation. Whether you’re sipping martinis or trying a signature cocktail, this is an easy, stylish stop before your reservation.
Vegas Vickie’s is perfect for:
- Toasting with champagne or cocktails
- Taking group photos before dinner
- Getting the night started without rushing
Galentine’s Day Dinner
Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to dress up, and Barry’s Downtown Prime gives you a reason to go all out. This modern steakhouse blends classic Vegas glamour with contemporary style, making it ideal for a special girls’ night dinner, and perfect for some Galentine’s Day photos.
Dinner here feels celebratory without being stuffy. It’s the kind of place where you linger, share bites, and toast to friendships before heading out for the night. For many Galentine’s trips, this dinner becomes the highlight of the weekend.
Barry’s is known for:
- Prime steaks and elevated seafood
- Craft cocktails and an impressive wine list
- An trendy, upscale atmosphere
The Best Galentine’s Day Party in Las Vegas
After dinner, the night doesn’t slow down, it just moves upstairs. One of the easiest ways to wrap up Galentine’s Day is by heading to Legacy Club, Circa’s rooftop cocktail lounge, where the vibe feels celebratory without being over-the-top.
On Friday, February 13, from 8pm to midnight, Legacy Club turns into a full-on Galentine’s Day celebration, and the best part? It’s free to attend. With panoramic rooftop views of Las Vegas, DJ-driven energy, and cocktails made for toasting friendships, it’s the kind of place where your group can settle in and enjoy the night instead of bouncing from bar to bar.
Champagne flows throughout the evening, with Lallier Champagne poured all night, alongside a playful “crush-worthy” cocktail menu inspired by Galentine’s Day. Think light, fun drinks that feel perfect for a girls’ night out. Music keeps the mood high thanks to an all-female DJ lineup including Iky Vicky, Tay X, and Sol Ember, with sets rotating throughout the night so the energy keeps building.
Between drinks, music, and views, it’s easy to lose track of time. Be sure to grab a quick group photo at the Galentine’s-themed photo booth before the night ends. It’s a fun way to capture the memories without pulling out your phone every five minutes. With the Strip and downtown lights glowing below, Legacy Club feels like the perfect final stop for celebrating your favorite people in Vegas.
