A bachelor party in Las Vegas that won’t get you in trouble
A trip to Las Vegas that won’t get you in trouble… doesn’t sound like much fun, you say. But that doesn’t have to be the case. There are plenty of fun and memorable things to do for a “tame” bachelor party in Las Vegas, many of which you’ve probably never even heard of. Here are some great ideas for a Las Vegas bachelor party where no one goes to jail, loses teeth, or ends up with stripper hickeys that need to be explained to the bride.
Okay, here’s the challenge: The groom wants to go to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. The bride has agreed but she has asked that no strip club be part of the event. Out of respect, the groom will honor his wishes. No, he’s not whipped! It’s actually a great way to start your relationship by going to the next level with trust and respect as an important cornerstone. Good for him.
Here, in no particular order, are some great ideas that will make a bachelor party in Las Vegas very memorable.
Where the streets light up at night
The Fremont Street Experience is not to be missed when you come to Las Vegas. The Fremont Street Experience is actually a multi-block area that has been rebuilt into a dazzling, resplendent and impressive visual light show. It’s a section of Fremont Street, five football fields long, that has an arched canopy light show overhead. But the Fremont Street Experience is much more than the high-tech video display ceiling. It’s a Mardi Gras-like atmosphere with live entertainment, music, casinos, unique vendors you won’t see anywhere else, and much more. There’s even a casino nightclub where you can step out onto a rooftop balcony and get billed to throw the party people down the street.
Zipline through the desert sky
When you tire of the glitz of the Las Vegas strip, you can take a short 25-minute drive out of the city and into the desert for an exhilarating experience you’ll never forget.
Bootleg Canyon Flightlines is a unique extreme adventure that is not for the hearts. If you have a fear of heights, this is a great way to overcome that phobia.
Las Vegas is known for having a number of exciting one-of-a-kind attractions, but this one is really different. This is a ride where you are taken up the hill of a canyon in a vehicle, but descend on a paraglider-like harness that is suspended from cables. Your legs will be hanging freely to add to the excitement. From top to bottom you will feel like you are flying over the desert ecosystem. You truly experience the freedom of silent flight at heights of up to 200 feet above the ground.
For Speed Demon racing car enthusiasts
If you’re more of a grounded thrill seeker, you might want to take the bachelor party to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where you can drive a 600-hp race car for laps around the race track. No race car driving experience is required and you’ll hit speeds of up to 145mph.
For a slightly less expensive and smoother thrill of the same kind, you can head to an indoor venue for racing smaller cars, called Pole Position Raceway. You’ll still get the adrenaline pumping. This is a 60,000 square foot facility that features a challenging quarter-mile European-style track. Because it was designed by professional racing drivers, it is said to be very close to the real thing.
20 foot skydive
Yes, in Las Vegas it is possible to experience the thrill of skydiving without the worry of your parachute not opening and having to jump out of a plane. Here’s a place where you can float in the air at heights from 6 to 20 feet, with the wind rushing past you, and feel like you’re in free fall.
At Vegas Indoor Skydiving, take part in a skydiving-like experience in a wind tunnel area complete with a mesh trampoline floor and foam-padded walls. After a short training class, you change into overalls and a helmet and then enter this wind tunnel-like room. There is an instructor there with you to help you. Below, a huge jet propeller spins creating enough wind that you are suspended in a state similar to free fall. If you’re up for it, the instructor will help you spin around and maybe even show you how to do a few tricks while floating in the air.
Dueling pianos and sing as loud as you can
At the New York New York Hotel there is a dueling piano bar called The Times Square Piano Bar that fills them up every night. But this is not your mother’s piano bar. In this place two pianos facing each other and the musicians play and sing and invite the audience to sing along. As the night goes on it gets louder and the atmosphere and songs go from G to PG and beyond. If you want a table, you better get there early because this place fills up fast.
A slightly tamer piano bar, similarly oriented, is in the Harrah’s Hotel. It can be a lot of fun with the same type of dueling piano sing along type of setup, but it doesn’t seem as crowded as the other piano bar.
Of course, there is much more to do in Las Vegas. Just start walking the strip at any time of the day or night and that can fill your senses and keep you busy for hours. Whatever you do, just make sure you get the groom back home in one piece, safe and sound.
