There’s only one place to host the ultimate bachelor party, downtown Las Vegas!
Whether you’re the Best Man or guest of honor (there’s still time to flee, by the way), we’ve got everything you need to make your bachelor party unforgettable. Oh, let’s face it, there’s a chance you won’t remember it. You saw “The Hangover,” right?
Having a bachelor party in downtown Las Vegas isn’t just a unique experience, it’s a value The Strip simply can’t beat.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to hosting the ultimate bachelor party downtown.
Step 1: Pack Up – We’re Going to Vegas
So, you’ve settled on Las Vegas as the bachelor party destination. The first thing to do is decide where your group will be staying. Luckily, downtown Las Vegas offers several hotel options sure to satisfy your bachelor party checklist.
Here are the most popular places to stay downtown.
Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino
The Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino is conveniently located in the heart of the Fremont Street Experience.
If your bachelor party is looking for luxurious accommodations, you can book the two-story Spa Tower Suites. Don’t miss the unique and possibly best pool in Downtown Las Vegas, featuring a 200,000-gallon shark tank, slide and a “secret” hideout for your party.
The D Las Vegas
The D Las Vegas offers up plenty of exciting activities to keep your party entertained for hours including vintage slots, dancing dealers and bartenders, and even the only coin-operated Sigma Derby game in Las Vegas.
Also, The D Las Vegas has special bachelor party packages you should check out to make planning quick and easy.
The California Hotel & Casino
The California, or “The Cal,” brings the hospitality and aloha spirit of the Hawaiian Islands to Las Vegas. If you’re looking for a more tropical atmosphere and comfortable island accommodations, this is the place to be. Kick your feet up for a delicious bowl of oxtail soup or spam musubi before grabbing a cocktail at Holo Holo. It’s the perfect destination to start the night, but an even better place to end it!
The Fremont Hotel & Casino
If you want to be right in the middle of all the action, the Fremont Hotel & Casino delivers all the energy and excitement with Downtown Las Vegas right outside its doors. It’s as easy as jumping on the elevator from your room or deluxe suite, and you’re there, with all the gambling, drinking, dining and entertainment you can handle.
Golden Gate Hotel & Casino
There’s a reason Golden Gate is known as the “Las Vegas Original.”
First opened in 1906, this iconic Sin City destination has withstood the test of time by always evolving but continuing to deliver the vintage charm of Vegas’ golden era. The stunning remodeled rooms, dancing dealers, bikini-clad bartenders and generously poured drinks make for the perfect bachelor party combination.
Four Queens Hotel & Casino
Four Queens has been a favorite in Las Vegas since opening its doors on Fremont Street.
Offering several luxury accommodation options, including large standard rooms, Royal Suites and Regal Suites, they have just the right room for you and your bachelor party squad (without having to break the bank). Request a room with a view for a scenic look at the downtown Las Vegas skyline.
Main Street Station Casino, Brewery & Hotel
Looking for something a little different? Main Street Station is not your typical casino. Find yourself surrounded by rare Vegas antiques, unique pieces of art and historic collectibles (even a slab of the Berlin Wall) in a Victorian setting that will refresh any stereotypical expectations you may have of Vegas. If that sounds amazing, you’ll love their Victorian-themed rooms.

Step 2: Suit Up – It’s Dinner Time
Fremont Street is home to surprising and eateries, from grab-and-go to fine dining.
Nothing screams bachelor party like grabbing some steaks with all the mouth-watering fixings to keep you fueled for the long night ahead. Luckily, downtown has some of the best steakhouses in Las Vegas.
Some options to dine include:
Saltgrass Steak House

Heart Attack Grill
The Heart Attack Grill has earned both the name and reputation by offering burgers big enough to clog your arteries. The restaurant features a hospital inspired theme where you will find the staff dressed as nurses and doctors. As an added extra, there is a scale outside the restaurant, so be sure to weigh yourself before and after your meal to see what the damage was.
Evel Pie
Evel Pie is located in the hip Fremont East district. Inspired by the iconic daredevil, Evel Knievel, you will find Knievel memorabilia throughout the restaurant. Open late, this pizzeria is a perfect place to eat after a night of carousing.
