My buddy is getting married this summer, and planning the bachelor party has largely fallen to me. So far I've got 6 of us booked to go to Vegas for a weekend (arrive Friday evening, leave Monday morning), staying at the Mirage. Now that I've got that booked, I'm realizing that I should probably have at least some stuff planned and booked so that we don't end up wasting the weekend waiting in lines or trying to make plans.
Specifically, I'm looking for tips on: - Restaurants (a good steakhouse would be awesome)
- Bars/nightclubs. My understanding is that with a group of 6-7 guys, getting in without bottle service is not likely; has anyone had any experience with that?
- "Gentlemen's clubs" (I'm not entirely sure if this is allowed by my friend's fiance or not, but I think the odds of us ending up in one at some point during the weekend are pretty high)
- Any types of day-time activities that 6 guys in their mid-twenties might enjoy. I was looking at booking a cabana at the pool one day, but I'm not sure if this would be worth it or not.
Any thoughts on the above, or other tips for a Vegas bachelor party would be very much appreciated. |
I have a ton of experience in this department :-)
You're right - you have almost no chance of getting into a club with a group of guys that big unless you use a host and pay about 75 bucks a guy. that being said, getting bottle service is definately the way to go. You're guaranteed to get in, you don't have to worry about getting drinks at the bar and you have your own hot server. The best clubs in Vegas right now include XS, Marquee, Pure, The Bank, Tao, LAX, Tryst, Rain, Jet and Haze. My personal favourite is XS! I guess which club you go to depends on the day of the week and what type of music/scene you're into.
As for booking a cabana at a pool - meh. I personally prefer to not have one. That way you're not locked into one location at the party for the whole day. There are a lot of pool parties in Vegas but the 2 best are Rehab and Encore Beach Club. I'd def try to go to Rehab if I were you guys.
Oh ya, if you guys really want to have fun, make sure that everyone in the group expect to spend about 1000 bucks a day. Roughly 500 for bottle service and 500 for the pool party and meals. There's nothing worse than being in Vegas with a big group when there's that one guy that's complaining about how much money he has to spend. If everyone knows before they go down there they can plan accordingly and can't bi*cH about it.
