Why Scottsdale Is the #1 Destination for Girls’ Trips in 2025
Planning a girls' trip in 2025? Whether you're celebrating a bachelorette party, birthday weekend, or just need a wild escape with your ride-or-die besties, one city stands out above the rest: Scottsdale, Arizona.
From drag queen-hosted bar crawls to boozy brunches, desert views, pool parties, and five-star spas, Scottsdale has everything your group could want—plus a few glittery extras you didn’t know you needed.
Here’s why Scottsdale is the #1 girls’ trip destination in 2025—and how to plan the ultimate itinerary.
1. It’s Built for Bold Celebrations
Scottsdale isn’t just party-friendly—it thrives on celebration energy. The city is known for welcoming bachelorette parties, birthdays, and girls’ weekends with open arms. The vibe is playful, high-energy, and unapologetically extra.
Want bottle service at a pool party followed by tequila and drag shows? You’re in the right place.
2. The Daylife Is as Wild as the Nightlife
Start the day with brunch, take over a rooftop pool, and keep the champagne flowing until it’s time to crawl to your next party. With daytime entertainment rivaling major club cities, Scottsdale blends fun-in-the-sun with VIP energy.
Hot spots include:
- Maya Dayclub
- The W Hotel Rooftop
- Wine Girl
- Diego Pops
Or stay classy with a Drag Queen Sip & Paint party or luxury spa morning before things get rowdy.
3. Drag Me To Drink Makes the Night Unforgettable
The one thing you must add to your itinerary? A drag queen-hosted bar crawl with Drag Me To Drink.
Choose a ticketed public crawl or go private and have your very own drag queen host guide your group through 3–5 bars with:
- VIP entry
- Drink specials
- Hilarious games
- Interactive performances
- Themed costumes and nonstop fun
Whether it’s the bride’s last fling or your crew’s first time in Arizona, this is the experience that everyone will be talking about long after you fly home.
4. Instagram-Worthy Vibes on Every Corner
The desert aesthetic is unreal. Think modern hotels, pink neon signs, desert landscapes, murals, cocktails served in disco balls, and matching outfits that pop against Arizona sunsets.
Top photo ops:
- Papago Park
- Old Town alley murals
- Hotel Adeline’s poolside setup
- Rusty Spur Saloon (cowgirl glam!)
- Any bar during your Drag Me To Drink crawl
5. You Can Design the Trip Your Way
Whether you’re a group that wants club nights and bottle service, or something more low-key like massages and craft cocktails, Scottsdale fits every vibe.
Want glamping and horseback riding followed by a rooftop dinner? Easy. Prefer rooftop yoga and a wellness-focused itinerary before turning up at night? Totally doable.
The flexibility, weather, and accessibility (Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is 15 minutes away) make Scottsdale incredibly travel-friendly.
6. It’s Surprisingly Affordable
Compared to places like Miami, Vegas, or LA, Scottsdale gives you major party energy without the massive price tag. Drinks are cheaper, accommodations range from luxe to laid-back, and you’ll get more value per dollar for entertainment and nightlife.
Plus, your Drag Me To Drink crawl won’t break the bank—group pricing for private events and $12 public tickets keep the party accessible.
7. It’s Growing Fast—So Go Now
Scottsdale is no longer a hidden gem. It’s now a go-to party destination on national bachelorette lists and group travel sites. More venues, better entertainment, and wilder events launch each year.
