No. 3 of 10 · Nevada
Las Vegas
No houses here, but if a hotel floor counts as together it clears the budget midweek with the deepest activity list.
Nonstops from all three cities, summer golf at $69 to $130, and a casino, pool and sportsbook under every hotel so twenty guys never need a car or a plan to stay together.
Strip average daily rate in June 2026 was $165. Midweek occupancy runs 79 percent against 89 percent on weekends, which is why Sunday to Wednesday is structurally cheap. Vacation rentals are not a backup: the City of Las Vegas bans bachelor parties in short term rentals and Henderson fines unlicensed hosts $1,000 to $2,500 a day.
