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.

If you come to Arizona you might look at these outdoor options. The lakes are close for fishing. Golf is as good as it gets. Casinos are good. Spring training is also going on then.

Man I've been to two bachelor parties in Scottsdale, one being in March and they were both phenomenal. Golf, weather, bars/girls were great. Obviously depends on the group but it's hard to beat that kinda of scenery IMO.

Brother and I grew up playing and watching baseball. Spring training would be a great idea. Didn't even think about that

15 teams train here so there's lots of action in March. Casinos, golf, outdoors, lots of options. I live here so I'm partial though.

Vegas - Circa or Fontainebleau

Just got back from a Vegas bachelor trip.

SW Flights - $470

Stayed at Cosmopolitan - $350 for Thurs - Sat Night (4 dudes shared a room... yeah yeah... gotta keep costs down)

Round of Golf at Reflection Bay in Henderson - - ~$200 (~$280 if you rent clubs)

Rented a cabana by the pool - $265 min. spend per person (was fun, but you could probably do something more outdoors related and go shoot guns in the dessert instead of this // more golf // concert or sporting event if you get lucky on timing).

Ignoring the flight (like you said), and you're at ~$800ish - - factor in food/drinks/gambling/entertainment and you'll probably hit $1,200 - $1,500 pretty quickly.

Wherever you go, start booking/paying for some stuff a few months ahead of time if you can and the trip will feel paid for by the time you're actually on it. Spending money brings me down, so it's nice to get it out of the way beforehand and just enjoy the trip.

are you auctioning off spots to join in the fun?
