Yes, you can do that in task scheduler (available in vCenter), have a look on this http://www.itingredients.com/vmware-scheduled-task-power-off-power-virtual-machine/

Further to the below; in the vSphere Web Client in vSphere 6.5 if you hold down Ctrl whilst on the Right-Click menu of any object tasks that can be scheduled will be marked with a clock.
