  • BACHELOR PARTY > Pool Options & More

    WHO:
    Group of 6-8 Guys in Early/Mid 30's heading out for a Bachelor Party in Late July / Early August. (Open to suggestions of weekends to hit/avoid). We're clean cut, well-socialized guys who know how to handle ourselves (ie not guidos/hillbillies/etc). Current plan is a Thursday thru Sunday trip though we're considering stretching it to a Monday flight out.

    Looks to me like we'll be staying at the Palms due to having an inside track on some steep discounts on their suites (~50% ish) via a travel agent friend. I know it's a bit off strip but not a big deal to grab a cab. We definitely plan on working with hosts for most party/stripclub functions. Possibly for bars if we opt for bottle service?

    Looks like the rough plan is:

    Pool Party One Day
    First thought is to hit Ditch Fridays since it's right there at the Palms. I'm aware it's not the hottest party in town anymore but it seems reviews point to it still being a pretty good time. Thoughts? Looking for some decent eyecandy with fun crowd to mix and mingle with. We're considering getting a cabana.

    • I feel like I read somewhere that mins are ~$1500 for Ditch for a cabana? Pretax/Grat?
    • Is location of Cabana pre-booked or influenced by host tip ala Clubs?
    • Bottle service available or is it all premade drinks/beers?
    • Other thoughts/Pointers/suggestions for first time pool party crew?

    Shake Joint One Night
    Had heard OG / SR / Saph were 3 of the better options. Our group will likely be going in with a couple-few hundred to spend per person. Certainly not ballers... but not deadbeats either. I see us getting bottle service (seems like most offer 2 for 1 bottles as part of limo/entry/table package?) for convenience. Basically we're looking for somwhere with talent (obviously), that will set us up with a decent table/booth.

    More than likely the Bachelor will be the main one getting sent back to for the 30/60min VIP sessions and the rest of the crew will be focusing on drinking, tipping, getting $20 laps, socializing out front. I had heard some clubs are better set up for dances out front and others are more about the hustle to get in the back (though it's present at all spots no doubt).

    Definitely looking for feedback on this as well, though I'll likely crosspost in the Bachelor/StripClub forum as well.

    Bar Hopping most of the rest of the time
    Not really big on the premier club scene and the hassle that comes with it. Looking more for the laid back clubs/lounges and bars/pubs. Definitely looking for suggestions in that arena as well. I've been to a few different places around town in my 3 trips out to Vegas but I'm definitely looking for additional options.

    Very interested in feedback from you guys. Been sorting through all the threads here and will continue to do so, but figured I'd start a thread to get more specific feedback.

    Thanks in advance!

    I'd go in July over August....will be hot in July, but crazy hot in August. The July Invasion is 7/18-7/22 which would line up nicely with your Thurs-Sun/Mon travel plans. Worth considering anyway...if you want to check out some clubs and other pool parties without any hassel at the door, and enjoy a couple open bars.

    Ditch Fridays should be a good party for you...Chad Noyes can get you all of the details.

    My favorite laid back spots are MIX, Hyde (non club nights), Chandlier & Bond at Cosmo.
    The Pub at Monte Carlo is good sports bar. DB's is a new spot that looks good but I haven't been there yet...plan to next trip tho.
    Like all great travelers, I've seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

      Interesting... invasion seems like a pretty sick bang for buck given the open bars. How the hell is that possible? I'm assuming they are short term deals (open for 30mins or so at only one bar?). Pretty decent mix of M/F in these things? Predominant age range?

        It appears somehow my post was killed... but thanks for the feedback on bar suggestions and July over August for heat reasons. Messaged Chad for some early-stage info to pass along the guys. Thanks

          Open bar is usually for an hour at any bar in the venue, but only at two or three venues. There are an equal number of spots for men/women and Jack's making an effort to make sure the numbers stay even.

            Anyone have feedback on the layout of Palms pool for Ditch? Word is they changed some stuff around?

            Curious where the best spots to be and/or the spots to avoid are. Seems like it would suck to get stuck with a cabana on the 2nd level if you were looking to mix and mingle...no?
