All the ingredients to spice up a stag weekend.

As the saying goes, marriage isn’t a word, it’s a sentence, a life sentence. So once you’ve got over the initial shock of your mate getting hitched, you may as well send him off with a proverbial bang, and make it a night to remember – or at least jog his memory in years to come with the photographic evidence.

Whether you opt for a sophisticated city break or an action-packed muddy weekend, it’s not a bad idea to consider the group and choose something that appeals to everyone. Avoid the predictable paintball-go-kart-drink combo by daring to be different with one of these minimum-hassle options, guaranteed to please... in more ways than one.

It’s Vegas, baby!

Pull out all the stops and do Vegas in style. Get really serious and stay at Wynns, gamble at the Bellagio casino and party at Pure in Caesar’s Palace. The Coyote Ugly saloon bar at the New York New York hotel is another must. Pretend you’re action heroes and take a helicopter flight into the Grand Canyon. And whilst you’re there, why not land at the bottom for a champagne breakfast – hair of the dog with a twist? After a winning streak, make a break for the desert and launch bazookas.
