Guy's Getaway

Not every trip to Vegas with the guys needs to get as crazy as the movie The Hangover, but if you're looking for a real man's man experience, no other city does it quite like this one. Whether it's a bachelor blowout weekend or just an excuse to blow off steam without your significant other giving you disapproving glances, this itinerary is designed to explain why they call this place "Sin City."

Mornings

You were probably out late the night before and there may have been alcohol involved so start your morning with a hearty guy's breakfast at Hash House a Go Go. Its huge portions of twisted farm food are chest-poundingly substantial, and there is even a specialty called "O'Hare of the Dog that Bit You" -- a Budweiser served in a paper bag with a side of bacon.

To get your body in shape for the day ahead, spend the morning taking advantage of the various sports and recreation options available around town. Nearly every hotel has a fitness center and some, such as Bally's and the Flamingo, offer full tennis courts. If you're a fan of the fairway, head over to Bali Hai golf course, located conveniently on the Strip, for 18 holes and some wheeling around in their GPS-enabled golf carts. Or, if you need something more extreme, visit the Adventure Spa, at Red Rock Resort, where you can arrange everything from rock climbing to horseback riding to river rafting.

If you're serious about your gambling, then late mornings are a great time to hit the casinos as well. The crowds are thinner, so you'll usually be able to find a table or a slot easily, while the blackjack limits are often lower so you can save money for your big day ahead.

Afternoons

Continue your guy's gone wild day with a stop at Gilley's for some great down-home grub and even a ride on the mechanical bull if you feel like proving your manliness.

Daytime is playtime in Las Vegas where the newest trend is to have nightclub-worthy experiences during the afternoon at some of the hotel pools. Bare Pool Club at The Mirage, Tao Beach at The Venetian, and Wet Republic at the MGM Grand are all open to the general public (for a cover charge) and include everything from live DJs to fully stocked bars and certainly a bevy of bikini-wearing partyers.

Next, head back to the casino for a little sports book action. You can place a wager on just about any type of sporting event in existence (Cricket, anyone?), and, depending on the season and the day of the week, you might be able to catch a game in action. The sports books at The Mirage and Caesars Palace are always good options for their huge screens and high energy, but you may want to consider the M Resort, The Venetian, or The Palazzo, which have the only sports books in the city currently offering in-running betting. Popular in the U.K., this means that you can not only wager on the outcome of the game but also place bets during the action as well.

And if you need to get your adrenaline flowing, consider one of the serious thrill rides in town, such as the extreme rides atop the 1,000-foot Stratosphere Tower, at the Stratosphere Hotel. You can play a little game and make whichever of your friends who screams the loudest while on Insanity: The Ride or Sky Jump buy the first round of drinks later that night.

Nights

We know. We already sent you to some sports books, but you should go back to the only one that is a real restaurant. The 45,000-square-foot Lagasse's Stadium is a sports bar on steroids, with 100 flatscreen TVs and a menu crammed with highlights from Emeril's American and Creole cuisine.

Now for some nighttime entertainment. If you want class, try the choreographed erotic stylings of Crazy Horse Paris, at the MGM Grand, where the girls actually strip and tease and get pretty naked. If you want crass, go for Crazy Girls, at the Riviera, where taste is not on the menu. But if you want it "just right," go for the peekaboo fairy tale Peepshow, at Planet Hollywood, which usually has a rotating cast of comely C-List celebrities -- such as The Girls Next Door star Holly Madison -- in the partially clad cast.

Time to hit the dance floor. The Playboy Club at the Palms is an obvious place to start, but Marquee at The Cosmopolitan is where the action really is. The party gets started late in Vegas, so you might want to start at a bar or two, such as Coyote Ugly, at New York-New York (just like the movie only you pay more), or Hogs and Heifers, in Downtown Las Vegas.

What's that? You haven't had enough gambling? Well, while you're at the Playboy Club, you can play some games of chance in the boutique gaming salon, or you could head over to Planet Hollywood's Passion Pit, complete with lingerie-clad dealers at the blackjack tables and go-go girls.

And if you want more girly action, there are strip clubs aplenty. You're a guy; you'll know which one appeals to you most.
