Dudes who have taken trips for bach parties

What type of costs did you guys cover for the groom? Figure these are the group costs we're looking at:

- plane fare
- hotel
- at least one blowout dinner
- strippers/tutes
- golf
- club/bottle service

Thougths? I'm thinking everything but golf and maybe hotel room. What's the protocol here?

Here is the deal.
Pretty much every bachelor party you are going to go to is going to suck.
You get invited because your douchebag friends know you will step up and make things better.
That means buying drugs, getting a limo, paying bar tabs, buying lap dances etc etc.
Figure on spending a few thousand dollars even when you are not the best man.
*Note: I went on a bachelor party Saturday to a casino. I paid for a limo to take all of us to a strip club and got everyone dances. $2,500 later it was over. Well, $2,500 and a few questionable things later.

Pretty much. Thank God we got me and my buddy, Angelo setting things up or it would be a borin ass trip. We got this sick double suite in the MGM (for some reason the weekend we chose is crazy in LV and all the prices are hiked up almost double what they normally are), limos to spearmint, bottle service at Tao, hand-rolled cigars with our own labels, etc., etc.

Angelo in an email today: "I hope I don't throw too many tutes off the balcony"

well it has bin my understanding that its the best mans job to cover the grooms bills and most of the party in not all of it....

Groom should not be expected to pay for ANYTHING that is "Planned" IMO.
If he wants to buy something unplanned or a personal item, that's different.

You want a high end party, be ready to split his cost among the attendees
or foot the entire bill as hostess..

Let me know if you want strippers at the MGM.
I have a friends that runs an "entertainment" company in LV.
She is smoking hot so I am sure her girls are too.
If you are interested I can get you the info!
