Ideas for Stag Weekend

Man it's gotta be Vegas!!!! Spent 6 days there with 12 other lads last September and it was the best craic.

If you're on a budget then go Sunday to Thursday as hotel prices go up and down depending on how busy it is (Friday and Saturday are the busiest and therefore most expensive nights).

I stayed in the Excalibor which is on the strip and it cost me $100 for my five nights accomodation. So much to see, the place is just fascinating. And a trip to Spearmint Rhino is essential!!!

I flew internally as I was living in Chicago so can't help with flights. It's the place to go though.

Newcastle is a fantastic city to go out in with all the advantages mentioned earlier, went there for a stag about a year ago and it was great craic. If you wanted something to do there to break up the day and newcastle aren't playing, sunderland is only a very short bit away, very closeby and you can get special passes for the stadium bar overlooking the pitch (I haven't checked if they are playing).

If your looking for cheep accomidation don't overlook hostels allot have single rooms or apartments on the top floors. Apartments in eastern Europe can go for around €400 for 6 people, look up hostelworld.com for cheep places to stay. Especially in Amsterdam they do houseboats aswell. They also do pub crawls from the hostel so you'll get to see a load of cool bars and clubs.

I nipped down a flight of stairs into one of those mall type things under the main junctions to buy a pack of smokes and was approached by a group of h00kers.

Lol, One of them tried to rob me on trhe day I was absolutely broke. I was eating a hot dog on the way back to the hostel (warped) when one came up looking for the ride, she started putting her hands down my pockets but I thought, grand, I've nothing for her to steel anyway....! Except me phone and sure enough it was gone. She gave it back to me when I asked though AND said sorry.. Lovely people..:D

I didn't really like Berlin that much, I had a great time in the city (best clubs ever!) just didn't like the vibe.


So it looks like Killkenny for those of us staying in the country.

Brussells

Althought Ive never been to prague, ive been in quite a few cities in europe. was in brussells on a stag last year and anyone who says its boring was obviously never there. Its a big beer city and beer is dead cheap. Cos its busy with politicians during the week the hotels tend to be cheaper at weekend.

I got ryanair flights and a 5 start (yes a 5 star) city centre hotel for €250.

Most pubs open till 6am and have a menu with different beers you can sample.

Theres plenty of strip clubs etc if thats you're thing and the city has one of the meanest go karting courses ive done.

Oh yeah we found a very popular bar/club that stayed open till 6am and charged only €1 for a bottle of beer up till midnight and €2 after that.

Id go again.

Wow, that's great to know. I'm heading for a week long Stag party next February and we're heading to Brussels > Luxemburg > Cologne > Amsterdam.

I cannot wait.
