The Windy City is top rated for its sports bars and pro teams, but non-sport loving ladies still love this place.

There’s also amazing shopping along the Magnificent Mile, and then you can rest those tired toes at the spa. If you and the girls love wine and mani-pedis, definitely check out the Spa at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago. They offer the Vinotherapy mani-pedi, which uses fresh-from-the-vine antioxidants for soaking your fingers and toes and for throwing down the hatch.

See Broadway-caliber shows, dine at famous restaurants by even more famous chefs, or just relax by the pool. Las Vegas truly has it all. You can even stay at a luxurious vacation rental if you’re not into the hustle and bustle of the Strip.
