Ags,

Planning a bachelor party for my brother. Getting married 4/4/2026, we are thinking a Q1 of 2026 will be the ideal time.

He has given some thoughts or ideas on what he wants to do and I will list those, along with the number of guys below:

- 12 - 15 guys all from CTX or HTX.
- Golf
- Casino/Gamble
- Hunt (deer, waterfowl, upland birds, hogs, etc.)
- Fish (Bay, offshore)

I have talked to one or two other guys about a few options. Budget wise we are trying to keep between $750 - $1,500 per person, excluding travel, food, alcohol, etc.

Options are as follows and open for more:

- Scottsdale, AZ (Golf, Casino, maybe varmint hunt) - First 2 weeks of March 2026.
- Lake Charles, LA (Fish, Casino, maybe golf) - Feb or March 2026
- Various Game Ranches/Dude Ranches in Texas - January - March 2026
- Florida (Miami, PCB, Florabama line, Tampa) - Golf, Fish, Casino - Feb. or March 2026

Any other options, input, guide services, etc would be appreciated.

I hope this doesn't mean you are expecting people to commit to a 2 week bachelor party

Vegas Thursday through Sunday first two rounds of March Madness

Those 1st 2 weeks of March are going to be Spring Break for most of the country next year - keep that in mind

For Florida, avoid Miami especially around Spring Break. Tampa is OK, but St Pete is a cooler place to be

This is exactly what I did for my bachelor party and it was amazing

depends on budget. the one i went to recently was an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean and there was almost zero planning that went into the trip outside of booking flights and one excursion. Super easy to coordinate (although not the most budget friendly)

the other one i went on last year was a cruise to Cozumel out of Galveston which ended up being really fun and very little planning involved.

Both options allow you to eat whenever and drink whenever and not have to worry about those tiny details that are difficult to plan with a large group of people. Both also have the option for gambling if thats your thing

Atlantis or Baha Mar in the Bahamas for the casino/golf/fishing combo.

He said bachelor party. Not bachelorette.

Thought he was making a Hangover reference

Just the time frame of when we would go in March

Hookers and Blow

Scottsdale is a lot of fun. Lots of different courses depending on your price range. Lots of great AirBNB's to cater to Bachelor parties. Legal weed and a great downtown area for drinking. Casino is going to be a downgrade compared to Lake Charles.


Lake Charles is good as long as you stay at the Casino.

WMPO for the win.

I don't follow MLB so I don't know the exact dates, but don't they do spring training out in Phoenix during the first two weeks of March? All lodging is probably expensive AF
