Every woman deserves the chance to get away from it all, and what better way to do that than take a couple of days off with girlfriends.

Women-only vacations are becoming more popular, and casinos, like any other vacation destination, are offering incentives for women vacationing without male companions or families.

A Day in a Spa

A number of casinos now offer the height of luxury for women – a day spa. Women can take a break from the gambling floors and enjoy body wraps, facials, massage, and pedicures. A weekend to the casinos complete with a spa visit has become a popular bachelorette party destination.

For women that would like to spend their non-gambling time outdoors, the Sycuan Resort and Casino in San Diego offers a special women-only casino and golf package. A small group of girlfriends can take lessons from LPGA golf pros. The all-inclusive price is for a three-day lesson package or a five-day lesson package and includes meals, airport shuttle, deluxe rooms, and lessons and lesson materials.

What make makes a girls’ trip to the casinos more fun is the wide variety of things for them to do. Because casinos are making more of an effort to attract women, there is much more for women to do without their husbands or boyfriends. Casino vacations can be planned around shopping trips. Some women schedule a casino vacation around a performance of a favorite music artist making a one-time appearance or decide to get tickets to a long-running popular show.

Getting There by Bus

For women who live in the Northeastern part of the United States, bus trips to Atlantic City’s casino are an excellent way for women to take some time to get away and have fun with the girls without worrying about being away overnight. Atlantic City’s casinos are one of the country’s most popular day-trip destinations. Most bus trips include money to spend on gambling in specific casinos. But a day in Atlantic City can also include some time on the beach (if the weather cooperates) or walking along the Boardwalk before hitting the casinos.

Gambling with Girlfriends

Frankly, sometimes gambling with girlfriends is more fun than gambling with husbands or boyfriends. Women are less likely to take gambling seriously than men and consequently can enjoy themselves more. And in a group, women are more likely to try new games.
