Fierce & Fabulous Vegas: A 48-Hour Bad Mom Getaway for Working Moms Over 40
Sometimes you do not need a full vacation.
You do not need seven days off work. You do not need a perfectly planned girls’ trip. You do not need matching T-shirts, a group itinerary, or 12 women trying to agree on where to eat.
Sometimes you just need 48 hours to act bad.
And that is exactly what the Fierce & Fabulous Vegas Getaway is about.
This December, we are heading to Las Vegas for a quick weekend escape created with working moms over 40 in mind.
The women who work all week.
The women raising children.
The women handling appointments, school schedules, careers, businesses, households, bills, everybody else’s needs — and somewhere in the middle of all of that, trying to remember that we are still women too.
For one weekend, we are clocking out.
The Fierce & Fabulous 48-Hour Vegas Getaway
Think of this as your permission slip to book the flight, reserve the room, pack something fabulous and meet us in Vegas.
No pressure.
No complicated group travel planning.
No waiting until every friend says yes.
No stressing because somebody backed out.
You can come with your girlfriend, your sister, your cousin — or come by yourself.
I may be traveling solo myself, and I am completely okay with that.
The goal is simple:
Get to Vegas. Look good. Eat good. Laugh. Explore. Take pictures. Dance. And enjoy being off-duty for a weekend.
Where Are We Staying?
The plan is to stay at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino right in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip.
Why Planet Hollywood?
Because for a short 48-hour trip, location matters.
We want to be able to step outside and be surrounded by restaurants, shopping, entertainment and some of the most iconic Vegas attractions without spending half the weekend sitting in an Uber.
So if you decide to join the Fierce & Fabulous weekend, keep it easy:
Book your flight. Book your hotel at Planet Hollywood. Meet us in Vegas.
That’s it.
You are responsible for your own travel, room, food and activities, which means there is no pressure to follow a strict group itinerary.
Want to sleep late?
Sleep late.
Want to meet us for brunch?
Come on.
Want to spend two hours taking pictures on the Strip?
Baby, pose.
Want to go back to your room and take a nap before the night starts?
Do it.
This is a grown-woman getaway.
Saturday Night Is Giving Grown & Sexy
The centerpiece of the weekend will be seeing Jeezy in Las Vegas.
And because the event is giving black-tie energy, Saturday night is not the night to play small.
We are talking:
Rhinestones.
Heels.
Glam hair.
Fresh nails.
A dress that makes you stop and look at yourself in the mirror one more time before leaving the room.
The kind of look where you walk through the casino and somebody turns around like:
“Okay, auntie!”
Because yes, we are over 40.
And yes, we are still outside.
This Is Not About Spending a Fortune
Vegas can get expensive quickly, but this weekend is not about proving anything.
We are going to mix fabulous experiences with budget-friendly fun.
Walk the Strip.
Visit the Bellagio.
Take pictures at the iconic Las Vegas sign.
Check out the holiday decorations.
Grab affordable late-night food.
Find a cute brunch spot.
People-watch.
Create content.
Laugh until our stomachs hurt.
And enjoy the simple fact that nobody needs us to make dinner, answer an email, sign a permission slip or figure out where somebody’s missing shoe went.
For 48 hours, we are unavailable.
Respectfully.
Why Working Moms Over 40 Need This
There comes a point where you realize that constantly waiting for the “perfect time” means you may never go anywhere.
You are waiting for work to calm down.
Waiting for the kids’ schedules to slow down.
Waiting for finances to be perfect.
Waiting for your friends to commit.
Waiting for somebody to come with you.
Meanwhile, another year passes.
One thing I am learning is that sometimes you just have to create small pockets of joy.
Not every vacation needs to be a week.
Not every trip needs to cost thousands and thousands of dollars.
Sometimes a Friday-to-Sunday escape is enough to remind you:
I am still her.
I am still fun.
I am still sexy.
I am still adventurous.
I am still allowed to do things simply because they make me happy.
Motherhood did not cancel womanhood.
And turning 40 definitely did not cancel fabulous.
So Here Is Your Invitation
If you are a working mom over 40 who has been saying:
“I need a break.”
“I need to get away.”
“I want to travel more.”
“I wish my friends would actually commit to a trip.”
“I would love to go, but I do not want the pressure of a big girls’ trip.”
This may be your sign.
Come to Vegas.
Book your own flight.
Book your room at Planet Hollywood.
Pack something comfortable for Friday.
Pack something cute for Saturday afternoon.
And pack something absolutely ridiculous — in the best possible way — for Saturday night.
Then come meet us.
No pressure.
No drama.
No complicated group rules.
Just grown women giving themselves permission to have some fun.
Welcome to the Fierce & Fabulous Vacay

We act bad.
