1. Las Vegas-- The success of last year's blockbuster, "The Hangover", cemented Las Vegas as the nation's prime destination for bachelor party hi-jinks. The city's latest tagline "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" takes it a step further, directly aligning the gambling capital of the USA with the code of the bachelor party. Offering casinos, strip clubs, super clubs, and hotels offering rooms that incorporate full-size basketball half courts, where else, but only in Vegas.
2. New Orleans-- Crowded with bars and strip clubs, it seems as if the French Quarter's Bourbon Street may actually have been designed with Bachelor Parties in mind. While that's one for the historians to verify, combining this amount of great night out gunpowder with the ammunition of Mardi Gras can only result in a metaphor you can only truly understand after having far too much booze.
3. Miami--If you're a group of friends who likes beaches, clubs and bikini-wearing babes, then South Beach is unmatched. Miami's also got a great high adrenalin sport just offshore thanks to its world famous deep-sea fishing; take the challenge and wrestle in that 400 lb Marlin.
4. New York-- A destination never to be discounted, the Big Apple's nightlife landscape is ever-changing and offers unparalleled venue choice through the full gamut of five star upscale to downright sleazy. Plotting a unique combination of venues to ensure your bachelor party feels different to others that have gone before is easily done.
5. Los Angeles-- Simply put, the City of Angels' requirement for cars forces your group into hiring a stretch limo and immediately hikes up the glamour. Factor in Hollywood, tipsy starlets, and endless tributes to Entourage and you're primed for an unforgettable bachelor party.
6. Austin-- The "Live Music Capital of the World", head out for the South by Southwest music festival; there is no more complimentary pairing than live music and beer. An additional note: Austin is unique among Texan cities in that it has no ordinance against women appearing topless in public. Good to know.
7. Breckenridge/Denver-- Including an activity element to the bachelor party excursion (if you discount the championship level drinking as an activity) has become an essential ingredient for success. Push it to the extreme and maroon your group for a short stay at a ski resort such as Breckenridge in the Rockies. Pass through Denver on the way home for a final night of large-scale hedonism.
8. Portland-- Easygoing Portland is the Amsterdam of the West Coast with more than strip clubs per capita than any other US city. Doesn't matter how drunk you get at the many microbreweries dotted around town, you're practically guaranteed to come across one of over 50 clubs offering the all-important jiggling at an affordable price.
9. Milwaukee-- Touted as the "Brewing capital of the world", Milwaukee offers an extremely hoppy flavor of party for the discerning Team Groom. Time your visit for Oktoberfest and put the "bar" back into "wunderbar".
10. Napa Valley-- Yeah, okay, we know it's not a city. But it is a great alternative to the city-based bachelor party, and, by hiring a fleet of bicycles to get around the wineries, this option seamlessly combines the activity with the alcohol intake. We just ask you swill and then spit at least once to show respect.
