Lucky Number 7: Palm Springs Drag Bingo is the Ultimate Girls' Trip Activity

By Lola Mangia

Picture this: You've spent the day floating in the pool, snapping content under the palm trees, and debating whether another round of margaritas is a good idea (it is).

As golden hour settles over Palm Springs, your group starts asking the question every girls' trip eventually reaches:

"So... what are we doing tonight?"

The answer is easy.

Drag. Bingo.

Before you roll your eyes at the word bingo, understand that Palm Springs has completely reinvented the game. Here, bingo comes with drag queens, cocktails, dance breaks, hilarious commentary, surprise prizes, and enough chaotic energy to become the story you'll still be talking about months later.

Whether you're planning a girls' getaway, celebrating a birthday, gathering the group for a reunion weekend, escaping for some much-needed sunshine, or hosting a bachelorette party, drag bingo is one of the most fun nights out in Palm Springs.

And lucky for us, the city has seven fabulous options.

1. Disco Drag Bingo Balls at V Wine Lounge

If your group loves a little sparkle with their Sauvignon Blanc, Disco Drag Bingo Balls should be at the top of your itinerary.

Every Friday, V Wine Lounge transforms into a disco-fueled bingo party hosted by the fabulous Ember Vaiin. Expect delicious cocktails, big prizes, outrageous laughs, and a crowd that's fully committed to having a good time.

Doors open at 5 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door.

This is the kind of Palm Springs night that starts with "Let's just have one drink" and ends with your entire group screaming "BINGO!" at strangers.

The Bottom Line

Palm Springs has plenty of iconic experiences: pool parties, brunches, spa days, rooftop cocktails, and shopping downtown.

But drag bingo might just be the most underrated activity of them all.

It's interactive. It's hilarious. It's surprisingly competitive. And unlike a typical night out, everyone participates.

One minute you're sipping rosé. The next you're cheering for your best friend to get one more number while a drag queen lovingly roasts the entire room.

That's the magic.

So whether you're here with your sisters, your besties, your coworkers, your birthday crew, your bride tribe, or simply treating yourself to a little desert escape, add drag bingo to the itinerary.

Because in Palm Springs, the girls' trip doesn't really start until someone yells "BINGO!"
