My Big Fat Engagement – Engagement Advice & Warnings

Today we start a series of features on wedding events in Las Vegas. Perfect timing if it’s cold where you are right now – just think, right now it is a pleasant 62 F (17 C). That’s down right summer weather where I come from!

Not that you have to go outside very much if you’re on the strip. 

During some of the installments of this series I will conduct interviews so you can learn about the Vegas experience from some real people.

The Vegas Bachelorette Trip

First up, my friend Tara shares her experiences.  She went on a Bachelorette trip to Vegas with her engaged friend Roberta and 3 other friends: 

“Roberta was getting married so we picked her up at her house, blindfolded her and drove her around in circles, eventually ending up at the airport.  Security was on us as apparently you aren’t allowed to blindfold people in the airport- so we took off her blind fold and told her that we were all about to board a plane to Vegas!”

What kind of things did you do while you were down there?

We gambled and shopped and drank all weekend to celebrate the “first of us to get married”. We went to one of those Vegas showgirl shows where they wear the tall feathery hats and pasties. We laughed because we all wished we had sat closer to get a better look at how they actually dance and suck in their guts and keep balance on those heels…

Why did you pick Las Vegas?

It’s the party place and it’s cheap to get there and fun once you do get there! Never disappointing.

Do you have any advice for people considering Las Vegas for a bachelorette party? 

Definitely do it if you can. No pub crawl or trip to the spa can top this… except maybe a pub crawl and spa in VEGAS!!!

What was your most memorable moment of the trip? 

All of us from high school getting it together and organizing such a memorable trip for a great friend.

What’s one thing you wish you had known beforehand?

That this was the last time we’d do this for a while… once marriage and kids get in the picture, it’s harder to take off to Vegas with your girlfriends.

Thanks, Tara!

Stay tuned for a feature article on a Las Vegas Wedding, coming soon!

Did you go to Vegas for a stag, stagette or wedding?

We’d love to hear about it at mybigfatengagement – just leave a comment for us below and we’ll be in touch.

And, if you’re on your way to Vegas as we speak – don’t forget to glitz it up! 

I heart Vegas!
