New Orleans was the best. I think I drank about a million beers. I prefer it to Vegas for bachelor parties. (and it's not even close).

vegas seems like one of the shittier bachelor party destinations I can think of. in all honesty, I'd rather go to almost any big city for something like that.

True, but staying close to Bourbon Street is tough to beat. I mean you have great food, insane amounts of booze, and a ton of gentlemen's clubs within walking distance. Plus if you aren't a total doofus you can do a couple cultural things while you're there.

I wasn't prepared for how LOOOOOONG Bourbon Street was.

I am torn between going to the Baylor game and just going to New Orleans.  Haven't been in 5 years and GF has never been.  Rebirth Brass band would be playing the weekend I was there and I think that would be an elite show/atmosphere.

it's true. gambling in a large group is difficult. people fragment all over the place.

[michigancat]

plus strip clubs are such a hassle

That's a good point but the way it has worked on the 2 bachelor parties I have been too is that we all hang out together during the day at the pool, go get some dinner, then hit the tables. People will usually stay in the same casino until around 1am and then everyone splinters off....had one guy walk to the rio and try to get in his room, only prob is we were staying at hardrock (barf).


Besides Cat football there is nothing better on earth than walking down the strip 10 deep pounding alcoholic beverages under the neon lights.

feels more elite (to me) to do that in a city where everybody else isn't doing the same thing. it's subjective obviously.

I disagree, had a lot more fun at Bachelor Party in Nashville than I did in Chicago.

The reason? Tons of bachelorette parties to creep on in Nashville.

O really, you are from out of town and here with 10 girls? Whatdoyaknow, I'm here from out of town with 10 bros!

Other knocks against Vegas: kind of boring after a couple visits if you don't like gambling.

Why would you go to vegas if you don't like gambling?
