An Atlantic City Bachelor Party – An Affordable Vegas Alternative

There’s only one Las Vegas, but many people view Atlantic City as a great substitute. The atmosphere of this New Jersey city and its many establishments make an Atlantic City bachelor party a great option. Here are some highlights of this destination and some things to be aware of.

An Atlantic City bachelor party will typically cost less than a Vegas bachelor party: If you’re looking to save money, but still want to head to a premiere bachelor party destination, Atlantic City is a great compromise.

Atlantic City has plenty of casinos: No bachelor party would be complete without playing a few games of poker or trying your luck at the slots, and Atlantic City offers plenty of gaming opportunities.

Finding great party spots to visit during a bachelor party in Atlantic City should be a snap: There are lots of centrally-located nightclubs, bars, and lounges in Atlantic City, so bar hopping is convenient and fun.

Finding the best strip clubs can be tricky: Most groups will want to visit a few hot strip clubs during a bachelor party in Atlantic City, but there are a few things you should be aware of. First, table dances can be quite costly, so you may want to do a little comparison shopping before you go. The other thing is that the performers at some clubs will only strip down to a string bikini – look for all nude establishments if you’re looking for the raciest time possible.

One final note – don’t forget to check out some of the landmarks and museums between visits to the casinos, bars, and strip clubs of Atlantic City.

Dos and Do nots of International Bachelor Parties

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Read on for some quick dos and don’ts regarding international bachelor parties to make sure everyone will have an awesome time and arrive home safe.

Do…

Consider the destination fully: It’s easy to get pulled in by a single aspect of a city when researching possible destinations. Miami bachelor party has its beaches, an Amsterdam bachelor party has its coffee houses, and a Costa Rica bachelor party has its beaches and outdoor activities. Take a close look at everything, though, and not just what’s in the brochures. Consider costs, nightlife, strip clubs, drug laws, culture, language, attractions, activities, etc. to get a better idea of where you’re headed.

Make a choice with the groom in mind: Your final pick of a bachelor party destination should ultimately be made with the groom in mind. If he’s a surfing addict, try Miami. If he looks forward to St. Patrick’s Day every year and swears Guinness is the best beer ever made, think about a Dublin bachelor party.

Don’t…

Ignore the local laws and customs: If you’re planning a Dubai bachelor party, be aware that drinking will be limited to your resort. In other cities, such as Bangkok, rowdy and disrespectful groups of drinkers are not looked upon kindly by locals. Blatantly disregarding laws and societal norms can land you in a lot of trouble, so look into these issues before you go and act appropriately.

Disregard warnings and cautions: If you’re heading to a city with a lot of crime, heed all warnings regarding keeping out of certain areas at night, securing personal belongings, etc. to stay safe during your international bachelor party.

The Cost of an International Bachelor Party

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Researching the price of hotels, activities, and flights is one of the major duties of the conscientious bachelor party planner. Even though you might think you have the total cost calculated down to the last penny, you could be overlooking a few things. Most of the following expenses won’t break the bank, but it’s important to take them into account.

• Health insurance – If you’re having an international bachelor party, ensure everyone in your group has health insurance that will cover them for the entire trip. Emergencies do happen, so it’s best to be prepared.

• Getting there – The price of your plane ticket is not the entire picture. If you’ve opted to travel over several days to score some cheaper tickets, you may want to rethink your decision. Remember, every extra day you’re away translates into missed work and money for your bachelor party buds. If you add the numbers up, it might be better to pay for a more direct flight. If you can get it all from a short distance, go that route. For example, if you’re in New York, USA, try Montreal, Canada. A 1 hour flight or 6 hour drive keeps things easy for everyone.

• Getting around – Factor in the cost of taxis and public transportation if you’re not renting a vehicle. If you are, remember that you may have to pay to park. Also keep in mind nightlife access. You are after all a large group of guys trying to get into the hottest spots. Try using the VIP service for that one.

• Currency – Always make sure you know which currency you’re dealing with. One hundred dollars for a hotel room might be a good deal, but 100 Euros…not so much. And remember, some currencies are volatile, so exchange your money early so you’ll know exactly how much you have to spend. Consider Thailand and Costa Rica if these are options, your money will go a long way.

• Entry and departure fees – You may have to pay to enter or leave your bachelor party destination. Find out what the fee is and include it in your final tally.
