The period between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day is the most popular time for proposals in the United States, which means by now it’s time to start planning some big bach bashes, and what better place to celebrate than Las Vegas? We’ve got it all, from poppin’ parties to exquisite eats and an abundance of attractions.
If you’d like to get a taste of top-tier Vegas nightlife but are looking for something different than your standard clubbing experience, stop into Stoney’s Rockin’ Country (stoneysrockincountry.com) at Town Square Las Vegas for a total hoedown. Make a night out of it when you book the Rockin’ Bachelorette/Bachelor package, which kicks off with a ride in a party bus to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign for a photo op. After snapping pics in front of the iconic landmark, your group can hop back on the bus and boot-scoot boogie all the way to the popular country-western hot spot. Upon arrival, you’ll enjoy VIP entry, no cover charge, a VIP table for up to 12 people, two bottles with mixers, waters and a Stoney’s tee for the bride or groom-to-be. If you’ve already had your influencer moment at the Welcome sign, consider the Stoney’s VIP Rockstar Party package, which includes most of the Rockin’ package, but skips the party bus and photo op. Smaller groups may enjoy the celebration package, which includes a VIP table reservation for six people, no cover and a souvenir tee.
Take your group just off the Strip for a bit of exploration at AREA15 (area15.com), the ethereal entertainment depot that’s chock-full of great group activities and whimsical spots to sip and snack. If you only have a day, choose a level 2 pass to enjoy entry to more than 10 immersive experiences and games like laser maze, AR dodgeball and the zipline, plus a choice of two premium experiences like axe throwing at Dueling Axes or Netflix’s Army of the Dead VR Experience. For groups with enough time to squeeze in a second day at the complex, consider upgrading to a level 3 pass to gain entry to the ever-popular Omega Mart and an additional premium experience. Or, if you’ve got to do it all, splurge on a level 4 pass and frolic freely through just about everything AREA15 has to offer.
Plenty of people expect to spend a bachelor or bachelorette weekend in Vegas imbibing and enjoying craft cocktails from all around town, so why not learn a bit about the art of mixology while you’re at it? The Cabinet of Curiosities at Horseshoe Las Vegas at Horseshoe Las Vegas (thecabinetlv.com) is neat enough to explore on its own, but when you make a reservation to attend its Mixology Masterclass, you’re guaranteeing yourself an experience like none other. You’ll learn all about the history of cocktail making, expert techniques and how to craft your very own signature bev. This week’s course is “The Art of Agave: Uncorking the Secrets of Tequila Cocktails.”
Blow off some steam on your bach trip at The Range 702 (therange702.com), which has packages for both bachelor and bachelorette groups that include 20 rounds for the fully automatic MP5 and M4, five rounds for the .45 caliber 1911 handgun, a VIP suite and private range, a souvenir shot glass and free cover, first drink and limo to Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club. For parties who prefer to see some steamy male performers, book your package on Thursday, Friday or Saturday to attend the Kings of Hustler show.
Speaking of sultry entertainment, what would a trip to Vegas, let alone a bachelor(ette) trip, be without a bit of striptease? To see some beautiful and athletic ladies, score tickets to Fantasy: The Strip’s Sexiest Tease at Luxor (luxor.mgmresorts.com) for a high-energy, electrifying romp. Book a VIP experience to get an exclusive backstage tour led by a couple of the beautiful dancers and receive a swag bag. If scantily clad men are what you seek, the sizzling men of Magic Mike Live Las Vegas at SAHARA Las Vegas (magicmikelivelasvegas.com) will be happy to satisfy your needs. Not only is the show based on the popular movie, but its cast includes talented dancers whom you can meet and mingle with after the show when you enhance your ticket with the $39 add-on.
Given that you’re probably sitting in your room reading this, we know you’ve probably already handled your accommodations. But if you’re just having too much fun to leave so soon or plan to bring another bachelor or bachelorette party to the valley, consider booking one of Westgate Las Vegas’ (westgateresorts.com) thematic suites. Bachelorette parties will love the Lucky Bunny Suite, a pastel pink fantasyland designed by supermodel, former Playboy Playmate and actress Sandi Taylor. The dining area and bar provide the perfect backdrop for dinner with your girls or a pregame like none other. For the bachelors, book the ultra-manly Cowboy Suite, which is fully decked out in warm woods and leather.
With locations at Mandalay Bay and The Venetian, 1923 Prohibition Bar (1923lv.com) offers VIP packages for bachelorette parties. Reserve seats in the lounge and sip champagne while enjoying top-tier live entertainment.
