Planning a wedding? For most grooms and groomsmen, that also entails planning a bachelor party. And what better way to go out with a bang than to party it up in another city? This way, you get to prolong the festivities, explore a new place, and hang out with your best mates for a longer period of time. For some inspiration, we’ve come up with four cities that are perfect for bachelor parties.
1. Las Vegas
What better place to hold your bachelor party than in one of the biggest party cities in the world? Provided you and your buddies either live near Las Vegas or can afford the trip to Sin City, a bachelor party weekend in this iconic destination will not disappoint. So how do you do the trip right? Start by booking a room at the Palms Casino Resort, where you and your guests can play a few rounds of bowling and go for a swim in the pool that extends over the edge of the hotel. And yes, those amenities are included in the actual Hardwood Suite, not just the hotel itself.
For a hefty dose of adrenaline, spend the first half of your day at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where you and your buddies can rip around the track in Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches and spend the second half of the day flying fighter jets at Sky Combat Ace. You’ll have the chance to fly over the desert learning how to do tail spins and torque rolls just like Tom Cruise in Top Gun. After racing sports cars and flying fighter jets, rest up with a snooze by the pool at Encore Beach Club followed by a wild evening out playing poker at Bellagio and clubbing at Omnia.
2. Boulder
Maybe a few years ago Boulder, Colorado, wouldn’t be on anyone’s radar when planning an out-of-town bachelor party. But today, Boulder has become one of the most desirable places to live in the United States, and with that, it has plenty of amazing attractions that make for an unforgettable bachelor party weekend. Not to mention, Boulder is a great destination if you and your groomsmen want both a great cultural scene and plenty of hiking trails.
Try the brisk three-mile hike up Mount Sanitas Trailhead for breathtaking views of Boulder and spend an afternoon exploring the Flatirons. If your bachelor party weekend is anytime between November and April, plan a day or two at Eldora, easily the best mountain in Boulder for some serious skiing. Naturally, a bachelor party weekend would not be complete without plenty of beer—and Boulder has lots of that. Oskar Blues and Avery are two craft breweries that are very popular among visitors and locals alike. Colorado is also where Coors was born, so consider a free tour of the Coors plant.
3. Chicago
The great thing about the Windy City is it won’t be as crowded with other bachelor parties as certain cities like New Orleans and Las Vegas. Still, there is plenty to do and many reasons why you should make this city your bachelor party destination. Not only is Chicago a lively city with plenty to do downtown, it also has a handful of fun beaches situated on Lake Michigan (and conveniently almost all those beaches come with their own bars). Neither a bachelor party weekend nor a trip to Chicago would feel right without a proper evening, and there’s no better place in the city for red meat than the iconic Gene & Georgetti Steakhouse.
4. New York City
New York City may be the most popular of all cities when it comes to bachelor parties. If you’re tired of night clubs and strip clubs, New York has the variety you need. Head to Kick Axe Throwing in Brooklyn where you and your buddies can drink beer and throw axes. Then head to Chelsea Piers for some golfing, rock climbing, and bowling. In the evening, grab a few cheap drinks at Fat Cat and play some pool, Skee-Ball, or darts as you listen to jazz. For funny, head to the Comedy Cellar and for brunch in the morning, try Lavo NYC. Like Chicago, New York City is home to some of the most renowned, historical steakhouses in the world. You definitely don’t want to wrap up the festivities without grabbing a juicy strip steak or filet mignon at Keens or Gallagher’s.
