You’re the best man for your best friend’s wedding. Your mission, whether you choose to accept it or not, is to provide him with an exciting last night of freedom worthy of a feature film adaptation. You could go the douche route and just wing it, but you take pride in your work and are willing to put in the effort to make sure this party is epic!
Be forewarned this article covers a lot of ground. So grab a brew, kick your feet up and dig in! We’ve provided some quick links to help you jump to relevant sections if you want to break it up into multiple sessions, or return to review material during your planning process.
But honestly, if you’d rather party than read, just give us a call and we’ll handle it all.
You have a myriad of choices when planning a bachelor party, but let’s look at some things to avoid first. First of all:
Don’t let him talk you into a lame golfing trip, or a river-rafting getaway, or any other glorified sausage-fest circle jerk (unless there are hot naked women involved at some point.)
The bachelor’s wife (and likely your girlfriend/wife joined the campaign) continually drops hints that if strippers are involved, the wedding is off. Calmly assure them you intend to keep the night stripper free, full of arts and crafts, then conspire behind their backs and enact your devious plan! This is a night about unbridled MANLINESS!
There is a good chance that this party presents the groom’s last night of unfettered revelry prior to his imminent emasculation (aka marriage). Man up and make it count!
You don’t want him to look back on the night of his bachelor party and recollect the climax of the evening involved roasting wieners over a campfire. Even if the bachelor is devoutly religious, or a total Nancy, he can survive a night of booze and titties.
Ok so now that you have your home base sorted out and everyone has a comfy place to sleep, you need to start thinking about what sorts of activities you’re going to plan to keep everyone busy. More stuff is opening every day, so if you need help planning, just give us a call and we can help.
Even if you don’t golf, Top Golf has something for everyone. They’ll supply the clubs, the balls, and games that even beginners can enjoy. Did we mention they have an amazing bar? Oh there’s a pool too. Also, full restaurant with an amazing menu.

Get your adrenaline fix by jumping off the tallest structure in Las Vegas, the Stratosphere observation tower! Skyjump offers a controlled descent bungee jump from a height of 829 feet, or roughly 252.679 meters for those of you on the metric system.
Described as,
Guinness World Record as the highest commercial decelerator descent facility
Which is fancy talk for the highest bungee jump in the world. Basically they attach a stretchy string to a harness, wish you good luck, and expect you to jump off a perfectly functioning building that is not on fire or at risk of imminent demolition. Sounds fun, right?
For around $175 you get the full jump experience and included wristcam so you can record your stupidity for all time. You get a nifty USB memory stick so you can show your grandkids you were once cool. If you want to skip the theatrics, the jump only costs $129 per person.
The Skypark also features other theme-park-style rides that capitalize on the building’s height to bring tears to aspiring Acrophobes for a small fee. Basically take your favorite rides from Disneyland and put them on a track off the side of a 900-foot building and you get the general idea.
Big Shot
In a matter of seconds, the Big Shot thrill ride catapults rider from the platform up the Tower’s mast at 1,081 ft and down again. Before you catch your breath, you’ll be shot back up again at forces unmatched.Insanity
Sit 64 ft out over the edge of the SkyPod at a height of over 866 ft. This Vegas ride will spin you in the open air at speeds of up to three ‘G’s. You’ll be propelled up to an angle of 70 degrees, which will tilt your body until you have no choice but to stare straight down!X-Scream
A giant teeter-totter sitting 866 ft above the ground, X-Scream will propel you headfirst, 27 ft over the edge of The STRAT. There, you will dangle weightlessly above the Las Vegas Strip before being pulled back and propelled over again for more.
Just make sure you’re not recovering from a hangover. You gotta wear a mask, and vomiting in a mask is no fun. Probably.

The core challenge of any bachelor party planner is nailing the nightlife portion of the trip. Get it right, and you’re a legend. Get it wrong, it could spell disaster! But fear not, we’re going to set you up for success with three awesome (and affordable) options.
The two most popular options are nightclubs and strip clubs. Sure you could go to a show, but do you honestly want to reminisce over how moved you were by Blue Man Group 30 years from now? No! You, and your party mates, are going to want to look back on a wild night at the clubs that spilled over into your hotel room, and if anyone found out, you’d all be bachelors again! That’s the spirit!
Everyone knows about the nightclubs in Vegas. They’re amazing, they’re some of the biggest & most glamorous on the planet, and they’re also ridiculously expensive.
To get bottle service at a top tier club on a weekend for 10 guys, be prepared to put down enough money to buy a decent used car! That will get you a bad table with bottom of the barrel booze, and that’s no fun for anybody.
If you have the scratch for that, go for it, it will be a blast (maybe). But for the rest of us, there’s a better solution…
For around $100 per person, you can enjoy VIP access to 3-4 venues in one night. You’ll travel in a massive party bus with an awesome host to ensure everyone is having a great time. You’ll get open bar, and you may just make some friends who want to after party!
Then venues rotate frequently but they always include a world-famous club such as Drai’s, Hyde, Light, Chateau. You can call for the latest lineup, but the club tours are always epic!
The best part about Vegas gentlemen’s clubs is selection. The top gentlemen’s clubs in Vegas will have a minimum of 100 girls working on any given night. On the weekend this number can climb upwards of 400 girls. As a result, you stand a pretty good chance of finding someone that appeals to the bachelor’s tastes. Another great thing about gentleman’s clubs is that they are going to do all the work for you. They offer
Another great thing about gentleman’s clubs is that they are going to do all the work for you. They offer free limo service, free cover, and reduced drink prices. You have world-class bartenders to fix your drinks. A DJ will play appropriate music coupled with a stunning light show. There will be a chef on hand should anyone get the munchies. Professional, trained security stands at the ready to intervene should tempers flare. In short, basically all you need to do is show up with some cash and have a good time. Be sure to pick a club that includes free return limo, so there is no haggling with taxi drivers, and nobody has to worry about drinking and driving.
Basically all you need to do is show up with some cash and have a good time. Be sure to pick a club that includes free return limo, so there is no haggling with taxi drivers, and nobody has to worry about drinking and driving.
World famous gentlemen’s club near the Las Vegas strip. Favorite of celebrities, athletes, and hot guest DJs. Bachelor party paradise!
Three clubs in one! Female Dancers, Male Revue, Rooftop Bistro/Nightclub. Hustler has it all… If you’ve never been to a Vegas strip club before, Hustler is a perfect place to start.
Drop in on the biggest club in Las Vegas. 400+ Dancers and world famous male strip show. See it all in one stop! Always a party, always amazing.
Definitely the classiest club in town. Great for couples with amazing service. Be sure to try the 5-star steakhouse for delectable food.
A lot of guys want to hire private strippers to come to their room and perform. There are a lot of moving parts you need to get right to make sure this goes off without a hitch. Otherwise, it could blow up in your face and ruin a perfectly good trip. WYNLV doesn’t provide private dancers, but we wrote an article about it, including a link to a service we can vouch for.
Anyone who attends a bachelor party had better be ready to make sacrifices. Everyone should read and follow the rules outlined below. Things may get out of hand. Something may go wrong. Arrests could be made. That’s no excuse to ruin a perfectly good wedding by running your mouth or doing something stupid to compromise the integrity of the bachelor party. (A blood offering of a small mammal is an effective way to let everyone know you are serious. It also lets everyone know you may indeed snap if anyone crosses you and screws up the party. I told you sacrifices must be made.)
Now that everyone knows the rules for the party, let’s get down to the fun stuff!
Pro tip: Get some T-shirts and/or hats made up for the gang that announce you are a bachelor party is a good idea. First of all, a lot of clubs will offer extra perks for bachelor parties like 2 for 1 bottle service or free lapdances. They may even comp you an appetizer platter or a round of drinks. You will certainly enjoy increased attention from the dancers if they know you have a party going. They will assume (hopefully correctly) that you have money reserved to buy the bachelor some naughty dances. Black T-Shirts with some simple graphics look cool and can be made for less than 15 bucks per person.
The bachelor, on the other hand, should be forced to wear something embarrassing, like a toilet ring around his neck, a dunce cap, football helmet, or fake mammary glands(which can be purchased at your local porn shop). This will draw attention to him, and point out what a fool he is for taking the plunge!
Just remember to be creative and have fun. Half-baked costumes have the opposite effect. Your group will look like a bunch of tools, and the dancers will assume you are cheap, dumb, or lazy.
You should understand the important role the time and day play in planning your party. Vegas gentlemen’s clubs obviously enjoy much greater traffic than your hometown establishments. While the clubs are open around the clock, most clubs reach peak attendance between 11pm and 1am.
The reason for this is simple. A lot of people assure their friends and themselves that they have no interest in THAT type of club. This usually applies to women, but many men suppress their true desires as well. After a few cocktails or beers at their favorite bar, suddenly going to a gentleman’s club to see some beautiful naked women seems like a pretty good idea. Amazing, right?
The important point, as relates to your planning, lies in the fact that even if your party only consists of 10-15 people, finding enough seats together can be a challenge. If you book through a quality VIP hosting company, they will handle this detail for you at no charge.
If you have a larger budget the top strip clubs reserve VIP sections with dedicated bartender and DJ that the manager rents out to large parties for an hourly fee. Any good club manager opens the negotiations with the ‘official’ price, usually $300-$500 per hour. Keep in mind, this rate applies only to the seating. Girls, food, and drink are extra. More often than not, the space remains vacant for the entire night. Haggle with the manager to reduce the price to a reasonable level. Offer him a tip, and a minimum purchase limit (total amount of beer, liquor, and food), and you often find the price plummets.
We’ve personally rented out a $1000 per hour VIP lounge for a measly $500 for the ENTIRE night, knowing that the chances of anyone offering more were slim to none. This happens more often during off-peak times. Renting out the VIP lounge provides a couple of key benefits. One, you all get to sit together. Secondly, the dancers assume you have money to spend or are important, otherwise, you’d be seated on the main floor with the rest of the civilians.
If you can plan your party on a weeknight, Sunday, or any other non-peak time, the odds of receiving discounts and pampered service increase significantly. By simply moving your party from 10pm to 8pm, more than likely, you will have the run of the place, and can get out before the throng of drunks shows up.
We get the question a lot, “What is the best strip club in Vegas for a bachelor party?’ It really depends on your tastes and budget. We update our top vegas strip club list frequently, so check it out.
Package Deal
The best Vegas VIP hosting companies offer package deals for bachelor parties. What you will find is that oftentimes you can get a great deal by booking all your events through the same company. Here’s an example:
Prices and specials change frequently. For best pricing, book early so the hosting company can secure limited specials that sell out.
Buying all of these items separately cost a small fortune. There are a lot of ways to save money in Las Vegas. If you are new to the scene, there are important aspects everyone should understand, from etiquette, tipping protocol, to dress code. For the ultimate insider info, just call us.
The key is to plan ahead, purchase from trusted sources, and get group discounts whenever possible. Simple.
But that doesn’t cover everything. Or maybe the guy in charge has decided to wing it:
No problem. A good rule of thumb is to consider how much money your circle of friends is likely going to be able to afford to spend on the trip and adjust accordingly. (If you’re the poor guy in the group, sorry for the bad news.)
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
If you double up on rooms, you should easily be able to get a room for less than $100 a night per person and still stay on the strip. If you go budget, you can halve that cost. Book as far in advance as possible and the more people you get together, the cheaper it will be. We prefer kayak.com, they usually have great rates and just sort by price with total trip cost selected and you’re all set.
Maybe you don’t have that kind of cash:
There’s a few weekly rental options and hostels in town that are cheap cheap. Just tell your buddies you’re staying with friend and that you’ll meet up with them at their hotel. You’ll need more to get around town but a bus pass is only $20 for three days. But you need to buy them in advance or at a ticketing machine to get the discount. The three day pass gives you access to the Duece, a double decker bus that runs the strip, plus all residential routes. Definitely a must if you decide to get a weekly rental.
Plan on another $100 for transportation, shuttle to and from strip, random taxis when you get lost late at night etc. If you’re smart you shouldn’t spend more than $30, but better to be prepared. Right now, you can get a roundtrip shuttle from McCarran airport for $15.
Most casinos have awesome buffets that can be had for very little money. Most Station Casinos offer buffet options for under $10 at their Feast buffets.
There are also a ton of all-nighter specials at the casino cafes where you can eat for practically nothing as long as you sign up for their rewards program. Also keep in mind there’s no written rule you have to eat out every meal.
Frugal option: There are actual grocery stores in Las Vegas where you can load up on snacks and such so you don’t have to drop a wad on lunch every day. Who knew!?
Even if you decide to gamble a little, say $100 a day, you’ll still have enough left over to go to a strip club or show in the evening and have a good time.
Pro tip: if you’re going to the strip clubs, bring a bottle in the limo for the pre party. You can save on drink costs at the club.
Nightclubs are very expensive. Even if you don’t get bottle service, on the weekends you’re looking at $50 for general admission. Even if you get on the VIP guestlist, you’ll most likely end up paying some form of cover at the top clubs. Drinks are not cheap either.
Your best bet, especially for large groups of men, is to buy bottle service. For around $200 per person, you can get a couple of bottles, mixers, and most importantly, a VIP table where everyone can sit.
Pool parties are the same deal, depending on who is performing. If you really need to do the pool party thing on a budget, Sapphire has an awesome day club and the price is right ($33 -$50 depending on the day).
If the plan is to hit Vegas over a weekend during peak season (spring or fall), prices for everything go up. During July and August, it’s hot as hell, and a lot of people avoid Vegas to avoid the heat. December is always slow, so rates are down across the board, but squeezing a bachelor party in during the Holidays can be a tough nut to crack with the missus. January is convention season, so the rooms are at premium prices, especially at the north end of the strip by the Las Vegas Convention Center.
If you can finagle a trip on the weekdays, Monday through Thursday, the room prices are half or even one-quarter the weekend rates. We’ve personally stayed in very nice rooms for less than $30 a night. They even extended us additional nights at $15 per night due to the pittance we were putting in the slot machines each day ($40). Once we stopped gambling the cheap extensions magically disappeared. Vegas is a funny town.
At the low end, $200 per day is totally doable with a little planning and making some sacrifices.
Mid-range is going to run around $400 – $500 a day and you’ll have a very great time, stay in a nice room, eat where you wish, and not have to worry too much about running out of cash.
On the high end, well you can spend as much as you want in Las Vegas, there is always someone willing to take more of your money for an exclusive amenity or access. But if you budget $1,000 per day you can really live the life in Las Vegas.
Tack on an additional $500 for an emergency. You never know when your bags might get lost, or your buddy ends up in jail, or you need to go to the emergency room to get patched up.
Whether it’s a credit card or another secure account, be sure to have a few hundred dollars you can call on in a pinch. Because nobody wants to see you in a jockstrap on Fremont street busking for handouts to get home. It’s a terrible way to end what should be a memorable trip.
And one final note. No matter how much you love your partner back home.
Or this trip could cost you a marriage, a house, and the trust of your closest friends. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, unless it ends up on social media, in which case improbable but unverifiable alibis will be required.
A million bucks… and can be used as a reminder of your close relationship with the bachelor later in life should he win the lottery or become a software magnate.
But seriously, be sure to get some pictures of the bachelor with the dancers. Most clubs won’t let you snap off a pic anytime you want. Ask security what the house rules are for pictures, and do whatever it takes to get some footage of him with some Double-Ds in his face! He’s probably not going to remember much from the evening if you do it right, so make sure he has some mementos to take with him into old age.
Put this expense in your budget.
Every bachelor is unique. Perhaps the ‘optimal’ party outlined in this guide exceeds the boundaries for your bachelor. Keep in mind though, a good bachelor party should push the boundaries a bit. Forcing him outside his comfort zone, then reeling him back in, defines this celebration. If you simply settle for a day at the golf course, or a tame lap around the local bars, the event won’t stand out in his mind.
The details of a normal night rapidly diminish as time passes. The central theme of any bachelor party ought to focus on surreal craziness. Remind him of what his commitment to celibacy and sobriety truly entails. No more wild nights in the company of sultry women and drunken revelry. At the same time, highlight the chaotic nature and instability of bachelorhood, such that he relishes his forthcoming union with the woman of his dreams.
If he looks back on the event, chuckling about the ostentatious and outlandish nature of the night, yet solemnly content with his marriage, pat yourself on the back. You planned and executed the perfect celebration.
This party is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the bachelor (hopefully), so don’t skimp on the budget. You should be able to purchase a full two nights of entertainment for around $200 per person, total. That will include food, drink, limo, cover, VIP table, and more. The more people you have, the bigger your discount. Whatever you need in Las Vegas, just give us a call. We’ll make sure it’s a night to remember.
