Nashville also has plenty of great hotels to stay at - although here we will only discuss some great party ideas. For those looking for day activities in Nashville (and especially if it's one's first time there), consider taking some of the top tours in Nashville.
Nashville - The Las Vegas Of The South

A great bachelorette weekend in Nashville may go like starting with shopping and drinks in the 12 South Neighborhood and then heading over to Pinewood Social for bowling and games.
