The Ultimate Vegas
Bachelor Party
Walkability. Nightlife density. Pool parties. Group logistics. We've done this enough times to know exactly what works — and what ruins it.
What Makes a Great Bachelor Party Hotel?
Walkability Score: 9-10/10
Central Strip location so your drunk groomsmen don't need Ubers at 3am. Cosmopolitan, Aria, Caesars = walkable core.
On-Site Nightlife
Hotels with clubs and pool parties on property mean less logistics. Wynn (XS + EBC), Cosmo (Marquee), Fontainebleau (LIV).
Energy Level: 8-10/10
Party vibe, not quiet luxury. You want a hotel that embraces the chaos, not one that shushes you in the lobby.
Group-Friendly
Easy to get connecting rooms or suites. Restaurants that can handle 8-12 people. Hotels used to dealing with bachelor parties.

Bachelor Party Pro Tips
💰 Budget Reality Check
$2,500/person is the sweet spot for 3 nights. $1,500 is doable but tight. $4,000+ is baller status. Don't forget resort fees ($45/night), tips (20%), and the "Vegas tax" (everything costs more than you think).
👥 Group Size Math
8-12 people is ideal. Smaller = easier logistics. Larger = harder to coordinate, higher table minimums. If you have 15+, consider splitting into 2 smaller groups for some activities.
📅 Best Weekends
Avoid: March Madness, NYE, Super Bowl, major conventions (CES, NFR). Best: February-March, September-November. Pool season is April-October.
🎫 Book Tables Early
Nightclub tables: Book by Wednesday for Friday/Saturday. Pool parties: Book by Thursday. Group dinners (10+ people): 2-3 weeks ahead minimum.
🚖 Transportation
Stay central Strip = walk everywhere. Uber/Lyft for off-Strip activities. Don't rent a car unless doing Grand Canyon. Parking fees at hotels are $15-30/day.
⚡ Energy Management
You can't party 72 hours straight. Schedule downtime. Pool parties are daytime drinking = early crash. Power naps before nightclubs. Sunday should be recovery/travel day.
