Men, it’s time to rally up! Your friend is getting married and thus you must throw the most epic bachelor party since ... that one movie about a bachelor party. No need for tigers or a surprise baby, the fact that you’re hosting a bachelor party in Las Vegas is party enough. Whether the groom likes to hit the hiking trail, party all night or make the most of things during the day, Las Vegas is the ultimate bachelor party destination.
Make a Plan
Being carefree and feeling like anything can happen during a bachelor party is going to require some planning. Vegas is a hot destination for grooms to be and their dutiful groomsmen, so be sure to make reservations in advance — especially if you’re rolling deep with a large crew. So, get that party bus booked and make those restaurant reservations!
Also, have an idea of what you want to do (more of that below) before booking your hotel rooms. Caesars Palace offers easy center-Strip access, while Plaza Hotel & Casino puts you at the end of iconic Fremont Street and adjacent to Main Street’s breweries and bars. If you plan on taking in some of the many outdoor recreation activities, opt for an off-Strip spot like Green Valley Ranch Resort & Spa, which is right off the I-215 and a short drive from several exciting adventures. Of course, nothing in Las Vegas is too far away. Incredible experiences are just a short walk or rideshare from any option you choose.
Pregame with a Fantastic Meal
A guys’ night in Vegas pretty much calls for a steakhouse dinner — and there are plenty to choose from. Carversteak at Resorts World Las Vegas offers a great preparty vibe with an extensive list of craft cocktails and an impressive selection of steaks to match. Prefer the sea to the land? Ocean Prime at 63 Las Vegas is a, well, prime spot to enjoy Strip views and quality seafood (and steaks, of course). For something more casual, head to Ole Red at Horseshoe Las Vegas — country star Blake Shelton’s honky-tonk serves up comfort food favorites with a side of sizzling live music.
Club It Up
You pregamed for a reason, right? After a fantastic dinner, the club — or clubs — will be calling your name. Catch a set from the likes of Calvin Harris or Tiësto at LIV Las Vegas at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, which offers state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, creating a lively environment for a perfect nighttime out. There’s also Encore Beach Club at Night at Wynn Las Vegas, offering a poolside club experience — and a fantastic DJ lineup — that’s just as lit when the sun comes up. If you prefer hip-hop to electronic dance music, check out who’s playing Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub at The Cromwell Las Vegas — the venue offers full concerts from its center-Strip rooftop space.
Get Competitive
A great bachelor party happens over a couple of days — good thing there are so many Only Vegas experiences to choose from that’ll fill out that epic itinerary. Got a crew of golf enthusiasts? Atomic Golf at The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower is the place to be. Hit a few and drink a couple of beers at the amped-up driving range — it’s sure to be a good time. For even more friendly competition, venture over to Play Playground at Luxor Hotel & Casino, where you can battle it out playing oversized versions of the games of your youth.
Game On
This is the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World, after all — why wouldn’t you include an incredible game or concert in your plan? Allegiant Stadium keeps the energy up all year long with special sporting events and, of course, the NFL games — and your hometown or favorite team might just be playing. You can also watch one of today’s top acts play The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, as the venue routinely books the most exciting bands on tour. There’s also the Sphere, which hosts headliner concerts that are amplified by the venue’s amazing technological aspects, making it an experience your group will never forget.
Go Outside
Your bachelor party should be (a little) about spending time with your bros, right? Do just that at Dig This! The adult playground offers opportunities to get behind the wheel of bulldozers and other stuff you’ll (likely) never touch in your life. For even more of a thrill, head to Fremont Street Experience and take a ride down the SlotZilla zipline — and be sure to opt for the Super-Hero Zoom option to feel like your favorite Marvel or DC character. Perhaps you get your buddy to dress up for the occasion — whether it’s a Captain America costume or a wedding dress, it’s going to make memories. You also can opt for the numerous outdoor adventures just a short drive away, including boating, hiking and more at Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
