Master the Art of What Happens in Vegas (Stays in Vegas): Bachelor / Bachelorette

If you and your group are flying into Las Vegas, allow me to elevate the arrival by reserving a chauffeur who will provide a VIP meet/greet and a luxury car. Enjoy the ride from the airport to you and your party’s hotel of choice over a glass or two of celebratory champagne (or three if you drink fast - this is a bachelor or bachelorette after all).

Pro Tip: It may not be what first comes to mind when you think of arriving to Vegas, but ask the chauffeur to stop somewhere (i.e. Target) so that you and your squad can stock up on the essentials - water, mixers, and liquor… Maybe some Advil too for that inevitable hangover.

The hotels listed above are all located on the infamous, neon-soaked Strip and whatever you and your group’s Vegas is, it is on the Strip.

Then, remember, as you and your party’s advisor, I will work in tandem with hotel management to ensure that the bachelor or bachelorette is treated like the VIP they are.

Once settled, explore your squad’s hotel of choice. Las Vegas hotels are XXXL and getting the lay of the land (while still relatively sober) is a non-negotiable.

One of my favorite places to soft-start the party is Eataly Las Vegas at Park MGM (which is also home to NoMad Las Vegas and is connected to ARIA Resort & Casino). Comprised of more than a dozen authentic Italian eateries, with hundreds of high-quality products, including world-class wines, this Italian market is the perfect spot to “salute” to the bride or groom to be.

After counter and bar hopping through Eataly, either head back to the room to pregame (throwback to college) or head to ARIA to explore the chicest casino floor in Vegas before officially starting the party at OMNIA Nightclub.

Located at Caesars Palace (No… Caesar did not really live there.), OMNIA means “everything” in Latin and naturally this club offers everything you and your group could want and more. I recommend booking a “Main Room Dance Floor” or “Upper Dance Floor” table for the best experience. Imagine celebrating immersed in the mesmerizing atmosphere, up close and personal with world-renowned musical talent.

If you and your party are still alive (lol), slip on the hotel robes, slide on the hotel slippers, and enjoy (free) breakfast in bed. (Many of Fora’s partnerships with more than 3,000 hotel properties allow us to provide free breakfast.) Hopefully, breakfast cures that hangover so that you and your squad can start getting ready for Encore Beach Club. If not, cue the Advil.

Encore Beach Club, more commonly referred to as “Encore” or “EBC” is the yang to OMNIA’s yin. (OMNIA being the best nightclub and EBC being the best dayclub.) The sprawling, temperature-controlled pools at EBC are some of the largest in Vegas. A private cabana is a MUST as these feature bottle service presentations that are unforgettable (unless you black out).

Please note that I am more than happy to coordinate you and your group’s experience at both OMINA and EBC.

For dinner, I love Javier’s Las Vegas at ARIA. An Orange County, California staple, Javier’s offers authentic Mexican cuisine, a large selection of premium tequila, and hand-shaken margaritas to match, all in the sexiest of atmospheres.

If you and your party are not feeling Mexican there are so many great restaurants in Vegas! As a friendly reminder, I am able to tailor this itinerary to whatever taste.

After dinner, you and your squad have a few options including:

• "O" by Cirque du Soleil - “O” celebrates the beauty of theater with world-class divers,
  synchronized swimmers, and acrobats that create a magical experience.

• Ever-rotating residencies from entertainment’s top performers.

• Zouk at Resorts World, the newest nightclub on the Strip.

… Or scratch all three and head somewhere a little more cheeky (insert smirking face emoji here).

Keep your last day low-key by lounging poolside.

Maybe use you and your group’s “$100USD equivalent Resort or Hotel credit” (you are welcome) at the spa. Designed as an exotic retreat, the world-class Spa at Encore Las Vegas at Wynn Las Vegas allows guests to enjoy supremely tranquil relaxation areas while indulging in customized treatments.

Finally, chauffeur from you and your party’s hotel of choice to the airport and remember what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, so let’s start planning the honeymoon! (... Or a self discovery quest if what happens in Vegas, does not stay in Vegas.)
