In the movie, "Fight Club" Brad Pitt declared that the first rule about Fight Club is, “You don’t talk about Fight Club.” The first rule about bachelor parties is, never talk about the bachelor party.

Now we’re not encouraging felonies, but a bachelor party is the ultimate boys’ night out, and can range from a semi-civilized get-together to the most debaucherous last-night-as-a-free-man party. If Las Vegas is the destination, it’s likely to be the latter.

The words Vegas and bachelor party go together like beer and pretzels. They are synonymous with each other. So if a raunchy night of fun is the plan, you’ve picked the right city.

Now, it’s the best man that takes care of the bachelor party details. So, as the groom, make sure you have one who can handle all of the dirty details. The best man is not only the organizer, he’s charged with the groom’s welfare. A huge undertaking on the Vegas Strip.

If the party ends up on wheels – like from one strip club to the next – hire a limo. With several guys, it ends up much cheaper than cabs rides around the city. While unbridled fun is the goal, bringing home everyone safely is the top priority.

For bachelor parties in Vegas, you’re a kid in the candy store. A look at some of the more popular destinations for the groom’s last stand:

Sapphire is the largest “gentlemen’s club” in the world, with two huge rooms under a 30-foot ceiling, four bars and more beautiful women in one location than there are in some states of the union. Crazy Horse Too also raises the bar in adult entertainment, with hundreds of hotties inside a building modeled after a roman temple. Hail Caesar!

If you can make it up to 3 a.m., just about the time Vegas really comes alive, Drai’s in the Barbary Coast and Light at the Bellagio are two after-party options. Problem is, it may be tough getting past the velvet rope. There are a number of planners LV Bachelor Party, and Bachelor Party Blowout to the rescue. The services can range from $80-$100 per person or for the steep price of $150 per head, will get you into every club in town and can book limos, hotels and in-room entertainment. And we’re not talking about Gallagher smashing watermelons.

If you want to try something that won’t leave your brain swimming in lechery and alcohol, Vegas has other activities for the boys. An ATV tour from Las Vegas through the Nevada backcountry, rafting the Colorado River and taking the plunge with a parachute will all raise the pulse. Several tour companies can set up these events, including looktours.com and key2lasvegas.com.
