Top Locations a Bachelor Party
‘If you are looking for the place to throw the next bachelor party for your friend, then you have to scan through this list.  Not too often do you come across these destinations, so prepare yourself for the event of a life time. ‘

No.1 – Las Vegas, Nevada

Sin city. Need we say more? From the casinos to the strip clubs to the lax alcohol laws, Las Vegas is the No. 1 place for bachelor parties. If women doing acrobatics on wires above a packed dance floor is the kind of stimulus you crave, you’ll love the Rum Jungle dance club in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Ice has a cool party atmosphere, as does the other place to see and be seen, Rain, in the Palms Casino Resort. Of course, the best place to see beautiful women dressed up in leather and sexy tops continues to be the Hard Rock Hotel.

No.2 – Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Montreal is unarguably one of the best bachelor party locations in the world. Take a walk down Crescent Street or St. Laurent Boulevard and you’ll see hordes of beautiful women from all over the world, a slew of trendy bars and nightclubs and, most importantly, renowned strip clubs visited by many bachelor parties. To start the night off right, head to Tokyo Bar on St. Laurent. Then, walk down the street and head to Globe and Buona Notte for some celebrity watching. Then head to Crescent Street and check out Newtown, Jacques Villeneuve’s restaurant/lounge/nightclub, or simply parade your buddy down the street while you stare at some of the hottest women in the world. For real partying, you can even go to Time Supper Club located on St. Jacques Street.

No.3 – South Beach, Florida

Hey, P. Diddy thinks it’s cool, so how can we argue? South Beach, Florida is the place to find women in bikinis driving in convertibles, sun goddesses oiling themselves on the beach and some of the trendiest nightclubs in America. Nikki Beach Club, often referred to as one of the sexiest places on Earth, is a good place to start the festivities. Between Priv, Wax, Liquid, and Amnesia, you’ll be partying into the wee hours. For the best bachelor hotel, head to the Clevelander, smack-dab in the middle of the hopping club section.

No.4 – Chicago, Illinois

Frank Sinatra believed Chicago was his “kind of town” and we agree with the classic crooner. Catch a Cubs game (hey, they’ve got to win the series one of these years, right?). Afterward, head to Division Street and check out Finn McCool’s or the Zebra Lounge. After hours, head to Deja Vu, as in “weren’t we this hammered last night?”

No.5 – Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

This Canadian Hollywood is the perfect place to club and keep an eye out for celebrities. Granville is the street to hit for a night out with the beautiful people. Check out Roxy Night Club if you’re looking for bachelorettes with a similar fate (or just some of her friends, for the single groomsmen in the bunch). Hope to catch Heather Graham’s eye? You can find celebrities hobnobbing at trendy AuBAR.

No.6 – New Orleans, Louisiana

The groom-to-be has to experience at least one Mardi Gras during his single days so he can scream “show me your beads” with a clear conscience. And due to many online bachelor party planners out there, you can now rent out a private balcony.

However, even if you’re not going for Mardi Gras, you can still create a killer bachelor party right on Bourbon Street. The Cats Meow is a wild karaoke club that caters to the uninhibited party crowd. Even if karaoke is not your thing, you’re almost guaranteed to find some party women there. Razoo Bar & Patio is another favorite when it comes to clubbing. And no trip down Bourbon Street is complete without landing in the landmark bar Pat O’Briens, home of the world-renowned Hurricane, a rum-based drink best enjoyed in a Hurricane glass.

No.7 – Manhattan, New York

One bite of the Big Apple and your buddy will be thrown out of the Garden of Eden. First, feast on money steaks at the Penthouse Executive Club. This joint combines the best of all worlds — Kobe steaks and strippers. And what would a trip to New York be without a visit to The House That Ruth Built?

No.8 – Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Snow, beer, babes who ski — what else do you need? Whistler has long been known for its ski slopes and killer village filled to the brim with snow bunnies. And the restaurant and club scene is nothing to sneeze at either. Buffalo Bill’s just about guarantees a hangover the next day. According to the locals, this is the granddaddy of all clubs when it comes to Whistler. Fun music and an upbeat crowd guarantee a wild night for the bachelors. Need a place to rest and enjoy a cigar between shots? Head to the upscale Mallard Lounge and Terrace in the Fairmont Chateau Whistler.

No.9 – Scottsdale, Arizona

Fore! One of the newest trends in bachelor parties is going on golf excursions. And with over 200 golf courses, Scottsdale is the perfect place to practice your backswing. After a long day on the links, Kona Grill cures your craving for steaks and grilled entrees. Afterward, make your way to SIX and keep your drinks cold on the ice bar that practically runs the length of the dance floor. Or head to Axis/Radius, another attraction in downtown Scottsdale.

No.10 – Jet America

The star-spangled patriotic design on Jet America’s wings and tail fins evoke Uncle Sam and apple pie, but don’t expect apple pie service aboard your $9 flight to any of the airline’s eastern seaboard, Midwestern or Florida destinations. Nine bucks will get you a seat and not much more. The airline promises that nine seats will go for $9 on every flight (plus a $14 convenience fee, whatever that is) beating out Skybus, which promised 10 seats on every flight for $10 — and they folded last year.

Top Ten Richest Man of All Time (Dead & Alive)
Take a look at this list, if you are related to anyone on this list then you absolute do not have to do anything in your life.  The record has been set, it will take a while for anyone to change this listing around.

Number 1- John D. Rockefeller (1839 – 1937)
$323.4 billion

You have to wonder how John D. Rockefeller would fare as a major player in Big Oil today. After all, he founded Standard Oil in 1870, and it wasn’t long before he dominated the industry. Naturally, some didn’t take kindly to that and the company was eventually found to have monopolized. Yet, for all Rockefeller’s detractors, the U.S.’s first billionaire was a serious philanthropist to education, medicine and science. From a legacy standpoint, however, he’s best remembered for his unfathomable wealth. Even today, the name connotes “money.”

Number 2 – Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919)
$297.8 billion

Steel wasn’t a bad business pursuit in the late 1800s. It paid off for Andrew Carnegie and continued to pay handsomely through philanthropy long after his death. A self-made man from humble beginnings, Carnegie worked hard from childhood. He didn’t enjoy overnight success, but he did realize almost continual progress. His savings became investments and his investments became capital for the business ventures for which he would later be known. Even if today’s wealth seekers don’t necessarily follow Carnegie’s principles for philanthropy, they do still highly regard his formulas for acquiring the means.

Number 3 – Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794 – 1877)
$178.4 billion

If some point to Sam Walton as the one who unfairly undercut prices, they should look a little further back to Vanderbilt. In his early years in the steamboat business, he would undercut competitors to the point of his own unprofitable, just to make a point. That ruthless competitive nature typified Vanderbilt through his years, especially in the way he ran his railroad empire. He may not have always played nice, but without exception, he played to win.

Number 4- Bill Gates (1955 – )
$124 billion

Even if Bill Gates’ currently estimated $58 billion fortune is down from its heady peak nearly a decade ago, the Harvard dropout and Microsoft leader is hardly hurting. After the proposed merger with Yahoo fizzled out and shares dropped in the dominant company he cofounded, he’s probably not losing sleep. He is no doubt looking forward to stepping back from his current role at Microsoft and devoting more time to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, currently $38.7 billion strong.

Number 5 – John Jacob Astor (1763 – 1848)
$116.6 billion

If John Jacob Astor were alive to hear industry critics’ “fur kills” cries, he might partially agree. He did, after all, make a killing in fur and it made him the first millionaire in America. Upon overhearing a man discussing fur trading, Astor decided to pursue it himself and realized great success. Along the way, he diversified and dabbled in selling opium — again, he was successful. Decades later, he got out of the fur business and segued into New York City real estate.

Number 6-Frederick Weyerhaeuser (1834 – 1914)
$76.5 billion

The man whose name would become synonymous with lumber capitalized on timing and access to resources to build his fortune. Frederick Weyerhaeuser’s timber resources after the Civil War were considerable, and demand was even greater. Though it would never fly today, Weyerhaeuser extensively clear-cut in the Midwest, creating farming opportunities in many areas and a permanent economic shift.

Number 7-Marshall Field (1834 – 1906)

$63.7 billion

For better or worse, the “customer is always right” philosophy began with Marshall Field. Either way, this early acknowledgment of customer service spelled success. Like the aforementioned Sam Walton, Field’s retail store struck gold by instituting what have become foregone conclusions today. Developing a policy for exchanges was one; displaying merchandise prices was another. Field also did well for himself in his Chicago real estate ventures, but he’ll always be remembered for his department stores.

Number 8-Sam Walton (1918 – 1992)
$62.1 billion

Sam Walton’s passing in 1992 came too soon for him to see the full potential of his Wal-Mart empire, though he was certainly successful in his lifetime. Much of it came from offering things that we take for granted today: good variety and convenient store hours, for example. He also set the stage for efficient, cost-effective central warehousing of merchandise, extending his competitive reach into smaller markets and well beyond his first store in Arkansas.

Number 9-Warren Buffett (1930 – )
$62 billion

Like many who can afford to do so, Warren Buffett doesn’t mind pursuing new acquisitions when the economy is tanking. His latest was a joint effort with Mars for a $23 billion buy of Wrigley. Still, you might get the impression that he’s not in all this for the same reasons as others. This is the man who appeared before Congress last fall and warned of the rise of “dynastic wealth,” stressing the importance of the estate tax. Buffett also earmarked $31 billion for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Only the richest men of all time can donate billions.

Number 10-Carlos Slim Helu (1940 – )
$60 billion

The Mexican communications industry and other interests have been kind to Carlos Slim, to say the least. It’s said that between 2005 and 2007, Slim’s worth has doubled. In that period, his fortune grew around $27 million — daily. The reason is simple: he owns everything in Mexico. Over 200 companies are under his thumb, ranging from the aforementioned telecom to transportation and from cigarettes to soft drinks. He’s dismissed the title of “world’s richest man” with indifference, claiming that designation isn’t his kind of competition. Whether he wants it or not, he has been designated as one of the world’s richest men of all time.
