Bachelorette Hijinks Done Right
The essence of any successful bachelorette party? Shenanigans. Mischief. Fem riot attitude.
We've covered the Bachelorette Parties You Need in Your Life on the blog before, but that was just getting the general logistics of your getaway set up. What about the unexpected? The crazy twists and turns that your gaggle of girls will embark upon? With a city chock full of the weird and the wild, we've got just what the doctor didn't order.
Battista's Hole In The Wall
This dark little Italian restaurant off the Strip on Flamingo and Linq Lane (formerly Audrie) is awesome for a group of chicks to grab dinner and drinks before a night out. Sure, it's not a fancy-ass Wynn restaurant or a chic new boutique tasting menu, but Battista's got CHARACTER, girl. You can sit down for a hearty Italian dinner complete with pasta, soup, salad, bread and wine galore, because the vino is complimentary with your meal and unlimited. They've been there for 45 YEARS, you guys. It's a rarity for anything in Vegas to last for multiple decades, except the Mayors Goodman. They are cleary doing vintage Vegas atmosphere right because it's worked for this long and people are still swooned by it. Or maybe that's just Gordy seducing us all on his accordion...
Dino's
I had to include this on our recent list of Downtown Vegas Party Spots because it's great for any regular weekend of partying, but especially great if you've got a group of bachelorettes ready to rock out. I'm of course thinking of epic lady ballads like "I Love Rock 'n Roll" and "Independent Women Part I" to get the feminism flowing, but the library here is chock-full of favorites and deep cuts that might surprise you. Basically, this is your chance to harness your inner Spice Girls and show off that 5th grade living room dance routine to Dino's enthusiastic patrons.
Secret Pizza
Late night noms can't be neglected. If you want to hit up an undisclosed location for some truly killer 'za like the cool kids do at The Cosmopolitan, then this is what you need to do: Get uproariously drunk throughout your night on the Vegas Strip, wherever the bride's heart desires, and wait until those magic words are slurred, "Dudes, I'm hungrier than a marble-eating hippo - BUT ONLY THE PINK ONE. Cuz she's SOOOO classy, amIright?" Escort your belligerent bride up the escalators of The Cosmopolitan to the top floor and keep walking straight into the nondescript hallway lined with records. You'll soon realize you've been standing in a line for the Secret Pizza shop cozied in this nook of the hotel and it was the best decision you ever made. Your bride will be impressed and satisfied.
Bare Pool
With a new campaign toting a #BareYourPair hashtag, you know you'll be able to let loose here, literally. Bare Pool at The Mirage is one of those awesome Euro-style lounge pools you hear about celebrities going to on Entertainment Weekly or something. Where a Disney Channel star might lose his wallet and angrily blame the venue. Where nip slips are expected, and not shamed. Sounds like the kind of place where your bachelorette party can get wild, right? Compared to something like Wet Republic, it might seem more tame (except for the top-tional dress code at Bare), but it's just a less-crowded version of bass-thumping ultra pool dayclub situation where you'll still get some beats, themed parties, and a good menu of poolside snacks and refreshing pitchers for your entourage. Oh, and did we mention they are revamping those cabanas right now for the 2015 season? Drop the mic. And your top.
Man Candy
You've likely spend a lot of your girl time together talking about men, so let's just cut to the chase and go watch them parade around like a straight-up bevy of Magic Mikes. You've got three choices here:
- Thunder From Down Under
- Chippendale's
- That drunk guy's beer belly strutting shirtless down the Strip, 10 minutes away from being arrested for public urination
While all options are entertaining, there are two that come with some awesome extra amenities as part of some discounted bachelorette packages. Add on extra fun to that man meat menagerie if you want to take a Stripper 101 class together, prix fixe dinners at Bucca de Beppo, limo service and more. Since you're cool and unique, we can customize something for you, too. #BallerStatus
Vegas has all this and WAY more we couldn't list on this recap solely because of its debaucherous nature, but rest assured that your bride and all her crew can celebrate like nobody's business. Bachelorette parties don't have to be complicated, expensive, and dramatic. They can be as simple as girlfriends running amok, being friends, just like they did at recess. But with more cleavage and cocktails.
