Private vs. Public Drag Queen Bar Crawl
May 8, 2025Top 10 Bachelorette Party Ideas in Scottsdale That Aren’t Basic
If you’re planning a bachelorette party in Scottsdale and don’t want the same old dinner-and-drinks routine, you’re in the right place. Scottsdale is one of the top destinations in the U.S. for bachelorette weekends—and for good reason. It has sun, style, cocktails, and chaos. But to make it truly unforgettable, you need more than just brunch reservations.
Here are 10 non-basic bachelorette party ideas to take your trip from predictable to phenomenal:
1. Book a Private Drag Queen Bar Crawl with Drag Me To Drink
Hands down the most unique nightlife experience in Scottsdale. With your own personal drag queen host, you’ll skip lines, hit 3–5 top-rated bars, play outrageous games, and live your best bachelorette life. You set the theme, and we bring the glam.
2. Rent a Private Pool Villa or Airbnb with a View
Scottsdale has no shortage of Instagram-worthy vacation homes with pools, palm trees, and mountain views. Make it your party HQ. Add a bartender, chef, or even a drag performer to kick off the weekend.
3. Do a Scottsdale Boozy Brunch Crawl
Start your day with bottomless mimosas and avocado toast—but turn it into a full-on crawl. Combine 3 brunch spots with walking in Old Town. Or better yet, hire a drag queen to host your brunch before the crawl starts.
4. Book a Spa Day for Recovery or Pre-Party Pampering
Need a detox before the next retox? Scottsdale’s luxury spas like The Sanctuary, Joya Spa, and Fairmont’s Well & Being Spa are perfect for massages, facials, and champagne-infused relaxation.
5. Go Desert Glamping with Your Bride Tribe
If your crew wants something different, check out luxury glamping near the Sonoran Desert. Add some stargazing, wine, and a portable speaker and you’re golden.
6. Charter a Party Bus or Pink Jeep Tour
Take the party mobile with a decked-out party bus—complete with lights, poles, music, and cocktails. Want something more nature-meets-glam? Book a pink jeep tour to explore Arizona's stunning red rocks.
7. Host a Drag Queen Sip & Paint Party
Perfect for a relaxed evening at your Airbnb or rented space. Combine drinks, painting, and a hilarious drag queen host. You’ll create art—and a mess—and laugh the whole way through.
8. Go for Sunset Photos at Papago Park or Camelback
Golden hour glam? Yes please. Hire a photographer or set up your phones with tripods and hit the trails for desert glam squad pics in full matching outfits.
9. Pool Party at Maya Dayclub or The W Hotel
Turn up the volume with DJs, cocktails, and Instagram-worthy scenes. Scottsdale’s pool party scene is legendary, especially on weekends.
10. Finish the Weekend with a Drag Me To Drink Public Crawl
If a private crawl isn’t in the cards, our ticketed events are a crowd favorite. Join other party groups and let one of our queens lead the way through a high-energy, 2-hour experience with drinks, games, and dancing.
