Now that the girls are doing it up with girls’ trips, it’s time for the fellas to take a weekend holiday. Packing up the cars and planning your guy weekend getaway can be just as fun as the trip itself, and you can rest assured that these picks for the best guy weekend trips will be all you need. Need some adventure? Want a golf weekend? Craving fine dining and relaxation? Look no further than these top destinations for the ultimate male weekend getaway.
Cool Off with Winter Sports
A ski trip is one of the most fun and cool ways for the fellas to get together. There are some really great ski resorts in the USA, some of the best are out west in Utah, Aspen, Colorado, and Lake Tahoe resorts. However, before you book your hotel at these winter resorts, it doesn’t hurt to do some planning so you’re not left out in the cold, pun intended.
- Choose a location that’s easy to get to
- Be sure your ski resort has vacancies
- Check out the prices ahead of time for skis and snowboards
- Rent the winter equipment ahead of your trip
If you’re new to skiing, consider taking some lessons to avoid disappointing the guys and looking bad with the ladies on their weekend getaway. Also, some ski resorts are better for beginners than others.
Hit the Strip
Las Vegas, Nevada, is the gambling capital of the world. The city is known for its large and luxurious casinos such as the Bellagio, the Venetian, and the MGM Grand. While gambling is certainly the main attraction in Las Vegas, there are also plenty of non-gaming activities to enjoy, such as world-class dining, shopping, and nightlife. Even if your buds don’t want to roll the dice at the biggest casinos near me and countless tourists flock to Vegas, you can enjoy the atmosphere together, catching up on old times on the Vegas Strip.
For those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Strip, there are also many natural attractions within a short drive, such as the Hoover Dam. If you can’t make your trip to Vegas, Atlantic City answers the call. Catch live shows at legendary casinos like Borgata or Bally’s. Chip in to rent a boat to go sailing across the beach boardwalk for the weekend.
Break Out the Fishing Rods
Alaska, along with the Florida Keys, is a heaven-sent destination for prized fishing. Before you book your trip and fill the igloos with beer, take a moment to research what type of fish you want and if you have the right license to go fishing.
Unless you have your own boat, you will most likely need to charter a boat so you can focus on the perfect bait for fishing. In case you needed some help picking fishing spots with the fellas, we got you covered
