The city was conceived, designed and built for good times, and has become the quintessential destination for bachelor and bachelorette parties. Planning is, of course, important, as the bride- or groom-to-be should be treated to a well-organized weekend (keeping in mind that well organized does NOT have to mean sedate).
So, what's a well-intentioned best man or maid of honor to do? Start with research. Some weekends are better than others for things like room availability. Your hotel should be able to tell you if one weekend is better than another.
Next, find out what daytime activities will appeal to your group. If you have golf fans, the area is flush with courses for virtually every skill level and budget. There are also some great outdoor adventures such as climbing or hiking in and around Red Rock National Park, Valley of Fire or the Mount Charleston area.
Or, skip the physical activity altogether and spend the day being pampered at a hotel spa.
Your dining choices are endless. Las Vegas has some of the best restaurants in the world, and there's something for every taste and budget.
A production show or concert helps set the tone for the rest of the night. Many shows are perennials, while other concerts are one or two nights only. Check the showguide in advance to help you plan the show entertainment on your trip. Again, though, your choices are limitless: avant garde production shows, celebrity singers and comedians, rock concerts. Since this is a bachelor or bachelorette party, you can always choose from any number of adult male or female revues.
Las Vegas' club scene has emerged as the most exciting, diversified in the world, and is a natural for sendoff parties. Most will take group reservations which will get you through the line, but you'll have to reserve a table for bottle service. Since this is Las Vegas, keep in mind that most clubs don't even start to get warmed up until after 10 p.m.
Another good idea: book a hired vehicle. You can go traditional with a stretch limo complete with a Jacuzzi, make a statement with an extra long Hummer or go for a party bus that's really just a traveling nightclub.
And remember, if arranging this organized chaos seems like too much work, Vegas has the best party planning services imaginable.
