Many great bachelor parties start with a trip to the liquor store with your closest friends, so you can pregame before heading out for the night.
But those aren’t the main ingredients. The missing link? The perfect destination. Here are three of the best bachelor party destinations in the US.
Las Vegas
Las Vegas might be a bit on the cliché side, but that’s for good reason. Needless to say, Vegas has everything: bars, clubs, gambling, shows, world-class hotels, pool parties (day and night), and food from all over the world.
Having your bachelor party in Las Vegas allows you to live the luxurious life for relatively cheap, as many hotels on the Vegas Strip are affordable and limos can seem more popular than poker chips. Vegas is a place where every hotel has its own unique theme, from Paris to New York, and you won’t run out of things to do.
Even if the party scene isn’t your style, there are different versions of Vegas. After all, Vegas is no stranger to shopping, spas, shows, and so much more. You don’t have to party in Vegas to have a good time, but you certainly can. Not to mention, Vegas is one of the top party destinations in the world.
Miami
Miami is one of the best places to have your bachelor party if you want to chill by the beach or pool during the day and hit the clubs at night. Miami is perfect for bachelor party groups that consider themselves high rollers, as many hotels offer scenic views of the beach, spa services, and other luxurious accommodations.
There are plenty of other things to do outside of partying, such as jet ski rentals and clearing your head during a nice ride in the water. Of course, you can also rent boats, paddleboards, kayaks, and other water sport equipment as well.
While Miami is known for flashy cars and hotels, the beach will allow your bachelor party group to soak in the sun and enjoy the water, without having to spend too much money. Miami is also home to amazing Latin food and deep-sea fishing. You won’t go hungry, and you certainly won’t be bored.
Denver
The Mile High City has it all. While Colorado’s capital isn’t quite known for its party scene like Las Vegas and Miami, it’s a lively city that has all the possibilities. Plus, there’s the beer. Denver is one of the best (if not the best) beer cities in America.
If you go to Denver in the winter, then skiing and snowboarding trips are a possibility. However, if you find yourself in Denver during the summer, then a world of hiking trails and camping destinations open themselves up in the mountains. The Rocky Mountains also provide white water rafting and other outdoor activities.
Downtown Denver is also home to all four major sports (National Football League, National Basketball League, Major League Baseball, National Hockey League). So if you’re a sports fan, then you can catch a game basically any time of the year.
Realistically, you could hike in the morning, watch a sporting event in the afternoon, enjoy an underrated food scene in the evening, and hit up a club at night. If you really have an itch for gambling, you can travel to Black Hawk, which is about an hour from Denver.
While essential ingredients of any successful bachelor party include the groom, friends, safety, and good times, the main ingredient is the destination.
