A friend of ours is getting married in January and they are planning to do is bachelor party in Las Vegas, of course my husband wants to go. We don't live near Las Vegas so he and all the guys that go will have to fly there and get a hotel. I trust my husband that is not the issue here, but the expense kind of ticks me off. Like I said he will have to fly there, he will have to a get a hotel room but I am sure he will share a room with someone, then he will likely have to chip in to entertain the groom and of course that means chipping in for a lap dance. Personally if I found out my husband got a lap dance before we got married there would not have been a wedding. Going to a strip club and looking is one thing, but having some naked woman grind on your man is not cool with me. As far as I know my husband has always been honorable about this. After being together for 26 years if he had ever done that one of his friends would have slipped up and said something by now. Anyways, it is the cost that annoys me and I think it is kind of rude to expect all your friends to do something like that and spend all that money especially right around Christmas time when money is tight anyways. I also have to say that it stinks that my husband will be having a good time in Las Vegas while I stay home with the kids, that isn't fair either. What do you think of all of this? I don't know what the bride to be has planned yet.

I think guys look at this differently than we do. That is, they look at the expense of some "fun" differently. I personally am not sure I would be marrying a guy who wanted to have a bachelor party in Vegas.

Bachelor parties are called Stag Do's over here and, to be honest, if I had a choice I would much rather go on one of those than the female version, which is a Hen Night, of course...and I'm a woman lol.
Having said all that if my husband told me he was going to fly to Las Vegas with his pals and leave me at home I wouldn't be too happy about it. He used to do all this before we got married of course, but not now.
I think it's good of your husband is being up front and honest about it though. The worst thing would be if he did it all in secret; THEN I would be suspicious.
Find out what the bride is planning. You never know, she might wanna go to Las Vegas as well!

Stowyk is right one of us would have to stay home with the kids. We know the groom to be a lot better than we know the bride to be so if it were an either he goes or I go situation he would get to go. I like the bride and all and consider her a friend but I have only known her for about a year. We have been friends with the groom for about 10 years. She will probably have some sort of party as well though, but if hers is going to be in Vegas as well I won't be able to go.
My sister in law and her husband got married in Vegas and in December it will be 20 years for them. We were there for their wedding and we all went there for their 10th anniversary so I am kind of wondering if they are planning a trip their again for their 20th, that would be around the same time as the bachelor party. If they are going for their anniversary and everyone is going I would like to go to. I would have to convince my mom to watch the kids for a few days though and that is not always easy.

Sorry, I didn't take into account the kids situation.
I hope you all get to go. I got married there myself and didn't see one hunk all the time I was, so it is possible if you put your mind to it..and it's trying to change its image isn't it? Not as many new casinos opening up, that kind of thing.

The economy has really hit it hard. It was getting kind of crazy and expensive there for a while, now it is back to what it used to be and you can find lots of deals. If my husband does go in December he will likely get a hotel room for a song. I would love to go. It would be nice if we could both go, but like I said it is hard to find someone to watch our kids. The kids are older now, my oldest is 16 and the next one will be 15 next month, so they don't need a lot of watching. I have an 8 year old too though, and although I trust the older ones to watch him while we go out for an evening, I think leaving them for a few days is too much.

Letting go and trusting can always be an issue. Let's just hope it isn't a Hangover type of scenerio. I hope that the bride has something good to share with all of the ladies so that you all can have some fun, minus the stripper and booze of course.
