I just got back from the Las Vegas bachelor weekend
TravelWorm.com put together for me and my buddies, and I am tore up from the floor up. We were full throttle for two days. And it's gonna take another couple of days before I fully recover.
Since I firmly believe all guys should have the opportunity to party like we did, TravelWorm has agreed to let one lucky reader, and three luckier friends, experience it for themselves. Yup. They are giving away a trip for four to hit Las Vegas and experience the weekend we just did. (Bail money not included.) Here's how our weekend went, and what you can expect if you win:
Flight:
My buddies John, Josh, Andy and I boarded US Air flight 531 non-stop from Ft. Lauderdale. A friend of one of my buddies, Jason, happened to be on the flight, headed to Vegas on "business". There was no business conducted that weekend. His bosses are gonna be pissed.
For our winner, TravelWorm is going to cover round trip airfare for you and three friends to Vegas from anywhere in the continental US.
Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino:
Newly built, and conveniently located nearly dead-center on the Strip, they did everything right when they designed this place. Upscale, with a retro-modern look that pays tribute to Vegas of old, it's got everything you'll need in one location. With some pretty good celeb spotting too. (We ran into
Chris Kattan and Chris Parnel from SNL a couple of times, and David Spade was checking in as we were checking out. Pamela Anderson performs at the casino and if you're lucky you'll catch her.)
The casino floor is huge - almost 2 1/2 acres - with a big, 24-hour ultra-lounge called Heart Bar, smack in the middle of it. (This became the perfect rendezvous point when it was time to stop gambling and hit the clubs for a few hours.) There's also a feature Jason described as his "dream come true", the Pleasure Pit, a gaming area with specially selected dealers (you'll see) and scantily clad dancers performing on lighted tables on each end of the pit. Bravo.
When you need to refuel, there's a bunch of restaurants to choose from on property, like the famous New York steakhouse, Strip House, favorites like P.F. Changs, or the award-winning Spice Market Buffet that features a nearly endless selection of Mexican, Italian, Asian, Middle Eastern, American cuisine. Hollywood landmark Pink's has a hot dog stand there as well, right outside the sports book. Tip: Make sure to eat at Earl of Sandwich. We've never had sandwiches that came close to these. I think Josh ate there 5 times in 2 days.
The winner gets two rooms for two nights at PH. And while you won't spend too much time in there, they're brand new and come with big flat screens and spacious bathrooms complete with Roman tubs.
Show: Stomp Out Loud
Let the ladies go see Cirque du Soleil. Stomp is two hours of people making music by banging on stuff. Like you used to do when you were a kid. Only people actually applaud when they do it. Our thoughts? Amazing.
Win and you'll get four tickets to hear the noise for yourselves.
Club: Scores
Favorite of celebs and athletes, Scores Las Vegas is tough to beat when it comes to clubs catering to gentlemen. The night we were there there were over 200 "entertainers" performing. You'll be hard pressed (pun intended) to not find one, or three, you'll want to give all your money to.
Scores' two levels house a VIP area, a piano bar, a private cigar room where celebs and high rollers can be entertained without prying eyes, and several areas where you can spend some time getting to know your lady better. Check out the big room upstairs that's perfect for bachelor parties.
Our VIP waitresses took exceptional care of us while the endless parade of beauties came by our table to introduce themselves. It's good to be the king.
Our winner gets the VIP treatment at the club.
Hangover Brunch:
And finally, before you head back to reality, you will be treated to dine at the Spice Market Buffet mentioned earlier. The perfect way to fend off the hangover you will be nursing by the last day.
