Vegas Wedding - Bachelor Party Suggestions NEEDED

besidethem

So my bro and his girl are getting married in Vegas.  Big blow out even at The Venetian.

I am the best man (obviously because I am LOL) and I am working on planning the Bachelor Party.

So we are from Canada.  We will fly in three days prior to the wedding. 

Day one is everyone in the bridal party arriving, getting settled into their suites. Then we are all going to dinner together and going to one of the Vegas shows.  

Day Two is all the guests arrive and get settled, supper as a huge group and then we split off into Girls and Guys for the bachelor/bachelorette parties.  

I am thinking about booking us into The Palms for a VIP Bachelor Party at the Playboy Club.  Now, before anyone freaks out they should know the bride is uber laid back and wouldn't care about about it being the Playboy Club.

Any thoughts?

My only thought is that the playboy club is not all that lol.  I've been there several times, it's basically just a lounge/bar with the addition of girls in corsets dealing blackjack.  I think you guys would have a better time one floor up at Moon where you get the inside plus option for two outdoor balconies.  Or look at Ghost Bar in the adjoining tower.  Be prepared to spend about $250+ for each four people if you get a table though, but you can probably wheel and deal if you're going to be there on a week night instead of Fri/Sat.

<div>Thanks for the heads up - we might cut that shorter than intended then.  We were looking into hitting up the Ghost Bar, Moon and Rain as well but wanted to hit the Playboy Club for a little card playing.</div><div>
</div><div>The wedding is taking place in December .... they have the balconies open year round?  I ask because here in Canada it wouldn't be very pleasant LMFAO</div><div>
</div><div>If we scrapped that idea entirely where would you go if you had your choice - no holds barred.  </div>

Pure (Cesars) is fun.  Again, pricey, but it's a great vibe and is one of the clubs to go on the strip if you're looking for a big VIP feel.  Agree with vegasgroom that Playboy Club is okay, but is small and crowded and there's not really any dancing in there, so the bride might tire of it after about 15 minutes.  It's connected to Moon so you'll have access to Moon as well.  Moon is neat because the roof is retractable, but yeah, it'll be freezing if it's December so I'm not sure if they open it in the winter.  If you'd like to stick around the Palms, I heard Rain is cool as well.

Aside from Pure, my other recommendation would be Jet (Mirage).  Jet has three rooms with different music in each so there will be something for everyone.  It's also on the bigger side.  Good luck!

<div>Good advice for sure!  We are staying at The Venetian but are open to going anywhere on the strip.  The girls are doing their own thing that night so it is just the boys!! </div><div>
</div><div>The girls are headed to Criss Angel and then some clubs .... not sure yet.  </div><div>
</div><div>We are looking for VIP, awesome atmosphere, good music, maybe hitting a casino floor for some games.  I don't know other than clubbing what else might there be?</div>

LOL, be glad its them and not you, Criss Angel is a d'bag.  Personally I'd get a table at moon, that will give you access to playboy and moon and even though it's December, they put out heaters.  Probably only the lower balcony will be open since the crowds are not much that time of year, but the view is second to none and palms typically takes care of you pretty well if you get a table.  Moon is more hip-hop, Ghost is more house/club/EDM, and either one will be a good option; hell have the surf n' turf at N9NE before going up, best steak in vegas in my opinion.

Mix Lounge at Mandalay would be my other recommendation; since you're staying at Venetion and going elsewhere anyway, definitely consider that.  The advantage to Mix over Moon/Ghost is that it's got a really large inside area and is 64-stories up overlooking Luxor, so you really get a pretty incredible view if Luxor has the top of the pyramid lit up that night.

My Canadian FI wants to know why in the world you would have a b-party in Vegas when you live in CANADA.

He totally wants his b-party in Montreal.

Oh, you know what...start your night at the gun store...

<div>The entire wedding party and guests are flying to Vegas for the wedding.  It is taking place at The Venetian so since we are flying out a few days ahead of the wedding date we are planning to have the b-party down there too.  </div><div>

<div>OMG that is perfect for us to start the night, especially since more than half of the guys coming down are in law enforcement.  They will love this.  GREAT IDEA.</div>

<div>Criss Angel .... definitely glad it is them not us.  They are going to him because "he's hot".  LMFAO so much for his show.  </div><div>
</div><div>I think Moon/Ghost will be our best option it will be staying in one place and thus we will be less likely to end up in a bad version of The Hangover.  </div><div>
</div><div>The girls and guys were supposed to go out to dinner before we all head out  so hopefully I can sway the lovely Jenn (my bro's FI) to go to N9NE because I am all about the steak man.</div><div>

i'm in the drak on my FI's bachelor party.  all i know is it will be on Thursday and i have heard his brother-in-law (who is planning it) mention "16 hours of drinking", "shooting guns", and "strippers".  hopefully its not planned in that order.

There are plenty of strip clubs! Some limo services offer Bachelor night packages with club passes, limo service, drinks, etc. Try Earth Limos.

FI and his boys are definitely going to a gun range! He thinks Vegas strip clubs would be skeezy (his words, I swear!!) so he's doing a gun range, gambling at Planet Hollywood in the Pleasure Pit, and a piano bar at Harrah's.

I've heard that Spearmint Rhino is the place to go for less of a "skeezy" feel.  Some of my guy friends in Vegas love that place because that's where all the hot girls are.  I wouldn't know. 

ahhhitsshannyn

Natrasha- FI exactly, all he wants to do is shoot some guns and go to the sports book. He doesn't drink and all of our friends get wild so he is going to try to ditch them I am sure.

The strip clubs in Vegas supposedly cannot hold a candle to those in Canada, specifically Montreal.  I think OP missed my joke...
