A bachelor party without a strip club is like a birthday party without a cake. Nothing screams “I WANT TO MAKE MISTAKES” (last ones of course) like Vegas.

We wholeheartedly urge you to hit the open road with your pals for some quality bonding time before landing in the mecca of indulgence. Our advice – don’t ever fly from L.A. to Vegas, the road trip is too much fun to miss.

This iconic 4.5 hour/250 mile drive (if you’re going the speed limit, which you won’t be) is a high-speed space corridor to debauchery with classic roadside attractions like Bottle Tree Ranch – a forest of glass soda bottles, Calico Ghost Town in the Calico Mountains, The Donut Man – Route 66 classic must-stop, Zzyzx – an unavoidable crazy sign with an equally crazy history, Alien Fresh Jerky – out-of-this-world road snacks, Mad Greek café – Greek fast food joint with unmissable life-size plaster statues and Parthenon-evoking patio, the Neon Museum – a graveyard of neon signs that had once lit up Las Vegas. which is the best destination for bachelor party in the world.

Coming to the last stop – Las Vegas – the grand finale which is anything but the end! Your adventure is just beginning here: for Sin City, is a place of decadence, debauchery and overindulgence.

But before you get down to making the best kind of mistakes, does the groom have the green light from the fiancée? (See Wrath, below).

And Beer? Um, check! Chicago has more than 60 breweries inside its city limits alone. It is also the ultimate destination for music-loving bachelors.

Sports fans, depending on the season, can take in a Bears or Cubs game.

Cleveland
Leaving Chicago behind, take the 1-90 east towards Shipshewana. Skirting Lake Eire for another 2 hours, you’ll arrive in Cleveland – the home of the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.

Grit meets sophistication in a town where you can rock out to music legends inside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or view Monets and Picassos at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Pittsburgh
Heading south on the route, take the I-80 through to Pittsburgh – another unique American city.

3. Gluttony – OKTOBERFEST GERMANY

oktoberfest
Image Source: Pixabay

Drive Time: 4 hours
Distance: 392 Km
Main Attractions: Hofbräuhaus Beer Hall / Munich / Stuttgart / Nuremberg / Frankfurt

For one of a kind bachelor party for a gang that follows their gut – literally – celebrating Oktoberfest in Munich is so obvious.
From the classic German Oktoberfest in Munich to the surrounding cities, there is something to see, do, eat, and drink in every corner of Germany at this time of year.

Cover multiple Oktoberfest locations, each perfect a place to spend a day – drive there in the morning, park your rental car, and then explore 2018’s Germany Oktoberfest celebration, enjoying the classic German bratwurst and beer in the open-air celebration that is known around the world.

Begin your brew some journey from Munich to Frankfurt.

1. Hofbräuhaus Beer Hall Munich

Be warned, this is the most popular and also most touristy beer hall in Munich. Nevertheless, it’s also one of the most traditional and it helped to shape the city’s beer culture. The restaurant’s location at the centre of town, within walking distance to many must-see sites of downtown Munich, make Hofbräuhaus a perfect introduction to the Germany beer culture.

2. Munich’s Oktoberfest
Boasting a consumption of almost seven million litres of beer and thousands of grilled sausages, chickens, giant pretzels, pork knuckles – world’s largest beer festival is gluttony personified.

3. Stuttgart’s Oktoberfest
With a similar feel to Oktoberfest – beer tents, traditional food and attire etc – Stuttgart’s annual celebration (known locally as Wasan), is an amazing option within a comfortable driving distance of Munich.
It’s an amazing event and a real hidden gem – hardly any tourists visit and few people outside of Germany know about it, making it a truly unique experience to visit. In addition to the wurst, brew, fair rides and lederhosen, Stuttgart is a top-notch European city filled with amazing architecture, culture, dining, and art which is well-suited to exploring by foot after you check into your hotel.

4. Red Beer from the Rock-cut Cellars of Nuremberg
Nuremberg has been an important brewing city for centuries; whether it is a pale ale, dark beer or a genuine red beer – there is something for everyone’s taste. The city of Nuremberg has been brewing red beer since the Middle Ages.
In addition to imbibing, be sure to take a tour of the maze of rock-cut cellars, a network of sandstone cellars covering six acres beneath the old city centre.

5. Frankfurt’s Oktoberfest
After enjoying Munich and Stuttgart’s offerings, we recommend that you finish your trip in another German Gem: Frankfurt! one of Germany’s biggest hubs, Frankfurt is not always the top of the tourist list, unlike its neighbours Munich and Berlin. Oktoberfest in Frankfurt is as much about the music as it is about the beer, so we encourage you to do some research to choose a band or two that you really love, and then arrange tickets on the evening those bands are slated to perform.

Driving Rules:
• Drivers should know the rules for traffic lights such as right turns on red lights are not allowed except unless there is a green right-turn arrow, and yellow lights serve as a warning signal and are used before the lights turn green.
• The laws prohibit the use of cell phones while driving unless it is a hands-free set.
• Visitors may think that the Autobahn has no maximum speed limit. However, sections of the Autobahn have a specific speed limit that alternate from 80 to 130 kmph or 50 to 80 miles per hour.
• Drivers must stop at pedestrian crossings, called Zebrastreifen, when pedestrians are waiting to cross.

Avis is conveniently located in the Arrivals hall at Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport. Just follow the signs to the Car Rental Center on level 3 and be on your way to get the good times rollin’.

Stays:
Best Western Atrium Hotel

Atrium

The Best Western Atrium Hotel is located in a central city location and offers an ideal starting point for your stay in Munich. In a ten minute walk, you can reach the shopping mile between Stachus and Marienplatz. It is only a few minutes to the main railway station and the Oktoberfest field.

Bayerischer Hof

As soon as you set foot in the hotel, you will be struck by the sense that this is a luxury establishment with a personal touch. Located on the ground floor is the hotel’s Komödie im Bayerischen Hof and the nightclub Bayerischer Hof with daily live performances of jazz, blues and soul musicians.

 

The Eden Hotel Wolff

Image Source: eden hotel
A First Class Hotel in Munich next to the main railway station in the city centre with tradition since 125 years. Guests can also visit Viktualienmarkt outdoor market, Marienplatz, or raise a glass at Hofbräuhaus beer hall; both are a 20-minute walk away in the Old Town.

Eateries:
There’s much more to Oktoberfest than beer. In fact, the Bavarian festival is full of flavorful food choices for anyone wanting to sink their teeth into something sweet or savoury. We recommend eating at Octoberfest tents itself for a lifetime culinary experience. Some must-try include:

Giant pretzels (breze)
These are known as “Brez’n” in the local dialect and are served with sausage, a variety of mustards – and, of course, a huge mug of beer.

Pork knuckle (schweinshaxe)
There are few who cook a good, crispy pork knuckle like the Germans. Schweinshaxe is usually marinated in a brine and then roasted until the skin is crispy and the meat tender. If you order it in a beer tent, expect it to come with a potato dumpling and possibly sauerkraut.

Käsespätzle
Spätzle is a type of egg noodle or dumpling that has a glutinous and soft consistency similar to that of gnocchi. In this form it is mixed with plenty of grated cheese (käse) and is topped with crispy fried onions. This is a delicious, filling and cheap vegetarian dish – one of the few available at Oktoberfest – and it’s great to warm you up on a cold evening.

Lebkuchen hearts
The gingerbread hearts you’ll find all over the festival are hard as rocks. But they’re a creative way to say “ich liebe dich” (I love you) and make for a fun souvenir.

 

4. Greed – Macau, China

Be sure to make a beeline for the Golden Reel, which is the world’s highest figure-8 ferris wheel.
For an authentic slice of Macanese culture head to Coloane Village – complete with pastel Portuguese-style houses and narrow lanes preserving the soul of Macau and traditional Macanese living.
Satiate your hunger with the famous pork chop bun from Tai Lei Lok Kei. Featuring a juicy and succulent pork chop fried to a crisp between buns, this Asian-style sandwich will surely satisfy your buddies! From Galaxy to Lisboa Hotel, Wynn Macao and many others, enjoy the nightlife in Macao by going casino hopping where you can try your luck. The city’s 33 casinos are all open 24 hours so the fun never stops!

• Roads are generally well maintained and directional signs are in both Chinese and Portuguese.
• Unlike in mainland China, international driving permits (IDP’s) are accepted in Macau.
• Traffic moves on the left side of the road with most cars being right-hand drive (largely due to influences from neighbouring Hong Kong).

6. Pride – Grand Canyon

Grand Canyon
Image Source: Travelink

Distance: 402 miles
Drive Time: 4.5 hours

This one is for the older set. Thirty-somethings with wives and kids don’t have to pretend to be 21 to have a great bachelors for a friend taking the late plunge.
Take pride in acting your age instead of pretending to enjoy keg-stands.
A long weekend under the stars, backpacking Yosemite, or riding horses into the Grand Canyon is the perfect adult bachelor party.

See the Grand Canyon West Rim at your own pace when you rent a car like an SUV car for a day trip from Las Vegas. When you hit the road, you drive directly over the Hoover Dam and take a very scenic route through the desert. Drive through a 900-year-old Joshua Tree Forest before turning onto the road to the Grand Canyon West Rim and the lands of the Hualapai Tribe. You can also explore Guano Point and Eagle Point at your leisure – no timetables, no schedules – it’s all up to you.

To spend a few minutes on the edge of this enormous chasm, looking out across a crevasse so wide and so deep you cannot see the end or bottom, makes you feel very small in comparison. It’s a humbling contrast to the fast-paced cities.

Optional activities include:
Grand Canyon Skywalk – Take a stroll on the Grand Canyon Skywalk, the newest attraction on the West Rim, for amazingly unobstructed views over the canyon
Helicopter/Boat – Take a helicopter ride to the bottom of the canyon, then enjoy a 15-minute pontoon boat ride on the Colorado River!
High Point Hike at Guano Point – a brief walk from the shuttle drop point, offers 340 degrees views of the Grand Canyon.
Driving Rules:

• In the USA, please drive on the right side of the road.
• As you’re driving down an Arizona road, you should see plenty of road signs alerting you to the speed limit. In general, though, speed limits are set at:
o 15 mph in school zones
o 25 mph in business or residential areas
o 65 mph everywhere else.
Use Avis car rental to really make the most of your trip to the famous Grand Canyon. You can book from Las Vegas airport or other locations available in Las Vegas.

You got to love it when you can go on a “Booze Cruise,” slurp down 9 shots of tequila (probably more), and then go snorkelling without a single lesson because “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. What happens in Cabo, never happened.“
Bear in mind, though, that a Cabo Bachelor Party (“better called a “Cabo Bachelor Event”) can last for days. So buck up.

And if you are looking for ultimate freedom the one last time, drive from top to tip of Mexico’s scenic Baja California peninsula, with just more than 1,600 km to traverse – one of the world’s most variety-filled road trips.

As such, Baja has much more of a western influence than most of Mexico and in recent years, the stretch of coast between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas – known as the Baja corridor – has in-particular become a playground for the rich and famous, where many large all-inclusive resorts and luxurious hotels have sprung up. which is  the best bachelor party for groom san jose ca

San Josè del Cabo Airport – Cabo San Lucas – La Paz – Loreto

San Josè del Cabo
Arrive in San Josè del Cabo airport in Mexico. Pick up the car at the airport and check in to the hotel.
This is a beautiful place to begin because San Jose del Cabo has an amazing collection of beaches, Old Town, resorts if you want to be fancy, and the most beautiful estuary.

Cabo San Lucas
Of course, this is a part because of which the Baja California Sur road trip was planned, part like there is no tomorrow.

Todos Santos
Todos Santos is an essential stop for a day or two on your Baja California Sur road trip. Stay at Hotel California and you might as well get an expensive drink across the street at the Tequila Sunrise bar.

La Paz – the capitol of BCS
Venture out to see the whale sharks who live in the Sea of Cortez year round, or travel to the pink cliffs on the nearby island of Espiritu Santo, home to a colony of sea lions. The city’s Museo Regional de Antropologia e Historia is worth a stop to delve deeper into Baja’s ancient history and how it changed with the arrival of the Spanish.

Loreto
Here you can go on an excursion in the surrounding mountains to see the rock paintings in San Borjitas, Trinidad or Pietras Pintas, or go fishing, kayaking and be sailing along the rocky coast.

The Cape

A Los Cabos boutique hotel like no other. It’s a fresh and vibrant approach to Los Cabos luxury—a singular beachfront retreat commanding a contour of the cape where every room and vantage point overlooks El Arco and the Bahia Cabo San Lucas horizon. Two pools and a duo of outdoor spa cabanas seemingly spring from the natural rock formations, while the only rooftop lounge in Cabo San Lucas floats six stories above. Set to the pulse of an urban vibe by night, the warm designs by Arquitectura de Interiores’ Marisabel Gómez Vázquez ultimately draw you in, revealing a reflection of Los Cabos like no other.

Hotel San Cristóbal

Named in honour of Saint Christopher, patron of travellers, surfers, sailors and protector during long journeys, Hotel San Cristóbal sits on the beach on the southwestern edge of the Baja peninsula in Todos Santos, Mexico. Spend a day or two at the hotel’s turquoise-tiled pool or get out and explore: Borrow a cruiser to bike into Todos Santos for fish tacos at La Copa Cocina, or rent a mountain bike to tackle the foothills’ 30 miles of trails.

Eateries:

Manta

Inspired by the views from one of the area’s most desirable and secluded playas, chef Enrique Olvera conceived Manta with an intriguing double meaning: The manta ray symbolizes the kitchen’s focus on seafood, while manta, the Spanish word for a blanket, conveys the chef’s emphasis on comfort. A curated beverage menu focused on mezcales, tequilas and sakes complement Manta’s fresh local ingredients.

Agua Bar

Agua by Larbi remains one of the finest restaurants in Los Cabos, distinguished by its superb food, impeccable service, and moonlit views of the Sea of Cortés. Chef Larbi Dahrouch’s focus continues to be on Mexican cuisine with Mediterranean influences, with menus changing seasonally – some dishes are changed daily – to reflect the finest available ingredients. Many specialities are made tableside, including handmade tortillas, guacamoles, ceviches and moles. Start at the bar for sunset cocktails, framed between an infinity pool and a dramatic meeting of sea and sky.

Gustu

Opened by Claus Meyer – co-founder of Copenhagen’s Noma, one of the world’s best restaurant, Gustu is the most ambitious restaurant in La Paz. As for the menu itself, the five, seven or fifteen-course option arrives beautifully presented in ceramic bowls and rough-cut slate plates — with an eye for detail. There is also an alcohol-pairing option, which, like the cuisine offers many surprises for the palate.
Each choice promises a plate bursting with colour and flavour, reviving the truest taste of Bolivia.
