So you're thinking of a quick getaway with a couple of guys in Las Vegas. Nice. Relax, unwind and have a few meaningful conversations. Nope. Will never happen, instead you'll hit a pool, a few clubs, drink a lot and eat some incredible food. You'll probably need to bring your poker face because once the boys get together you know you'll find yourself at a table working on your ability to bluff a stranger out of a big pot. The guys in Las Vegas and CityCenter is perfect for that.

Imagine getting very little sleep, talking to a lot of strange women, drinking from a strangers cocktail and eating a few meals that make you want to finally learn how to do a thing or two in the kitchen. Now, toss in some poker, a sports bar, an adult pool and some bar hopping. That is a recipe for a good weekend and the best part is that you can do it all at one place. CityCenter Las Vegas.
2. The Pool at Aria and Liquid Lounge
The sun, mixed in with a few drinks and all of these women and soon you get a concoction that lends itself to socializing, flirtatious behavior and a need for an intense application of SPF 50. If you spend your time at Liquid there are far more women to men but you'll need to spend some cash to find a place to sit. At Aria pool the drinks are cold, there is plenty of space but you might get splashed by the 7 year-old playing "Marco Polo"
3. Indulge in Some Fine Dining with the Guys at CityCenter Las Vegas
You’ll need to eat so consider, American Fish for a comfortable meal that screams open fire and male bonding or go the typical male route and devour some beef at Jean Georges Steakhouse. Multi-task at lunch by catching some games and an incredible Rib-Eye burger at Skybox Bar and Grill.
4. You'll be Drinking with the Boys at CityCenter
You'll be drinking at the View Bar, Bar Moderno and The Deuce lounge but attempt the Dammi un Bacon at Sirio or pound a pint in seven seconds at Todd English P.U.B. Also, a can't miss is a foray into the world of Absinthe at Sage where as was told to me, you'll "want to rub the curtains behind you" as you legally free base Absinthe.
As for the Dammi un Bacon, I'm not sure why you would need a cocktail that contains, beef bouillon and is garnished with a deep fried, bacon wrapped olive as well as a prosciutto stuffed olive but it's the kind of challenge that guys put themselves through. You can also head to Todd English P.U.B. and attempt the seven second beer chug. If you down it in 7, it's free!
5. The Las Vegas Nightclub for the Guys Getaway to Las Vegas

You’ll venture into the evening with drinks and mingling at Gold Lounge and then hit Haze Nightclub. Simply put, you won’t have the energy to continue but peer pressure is a good thing in Las Vegas. If you decide to slow up the evening head to the Deuce Lounge, where you can actually have a conversation and the line to get in is not as long.
