Sometimes you just need to get away with the guys. As much as I value my time with family, the friendships in my life are important to me, too. Grabbing an occasional beer or catching a game together can be a great way to catch up, but once in a while, it’s time for a guy’s weekend - a quick trip with friends to relax, unwind, and have fun.
Whether you’re planning a bachelor party, a reunion with old friends, or a straightforward guy’s trip to get away and have some fun, you’ll be guaranteed to have a great time at one of these destinations:
Las Vegas, Nevada.
It’s no surprise that Las Vegas is a great weekend getaway destination for guys and girls alike. Renowned as a destination for those who want to party and gamble, you and your friends can get as crazy as you wish - or keep things low-key. And as one of the cities with the most hotel rooms in the nation, you can almost always find incredible deals on accommodations, leaving you more cash to spend on activities.
Between pool parties, concerts, and the endless casinos, there’s plenty to keep you busy if that’s your scene, but there’s a surprising amount of stuff to see and do in Vegas that doesn’t involve so much debauchery. From golf outings and day trips to the nearby Grand Canyon to more exciting activities, like indoor skydiving and zip lining, you can make your guy’s weekend in Las Vegas exactly what you want it to be.

Does your idea of a great guy’s weekend involve plenty of nature? Plan a trip with the guys to explore one of our great national parks, like Yosemite in California. You can work with a guide to craft a journey well-suited for your group, or you can explore on your own, choosing your individual itinerary.

Add rock climbing and fishing to your list of activities, and you’ll have plenty to do while you’re there.
Chicago, Illinois.
If you and your friends are the type who would rather spend a few days in a big city, skip New York - Chicago’s got you covered. You’ll find some of the nation’s best bars, more restaurants than you could ever hope to try, activities like axe throwing and brewery tours to keep you busy, and tons of tourist attractions to pad your itinerary. It’s also the perfect spot for guys who love sports. Home to numerous professional teams, you can catch the Bulls, Cubs, Blackhawks, or Bears in action at a game if they’re in season.
