Day 1

For your first day in the Crescent City, grab lunch and a few brews at Gordon Biersch. This brewery restaurant serves up its own beer alongside made-from-scratch creative cuisine. And its central French Quarter locale makes it easy to go exploring after lunch!

Prefer a day in the great outdoors? Cajun Encounters has you covered! Hop aboard their convenient shuttle bus and head to Honey Island Swamp for a tour of Louisiana’s protected wetlands. 

Their swamp tours offer an up-close and personal look at bayou wildlife - alligators included!

Once the sun goes down, let the drinks, dice and good times roll at Harrah’s New Orleans Hotel and Casino!

Located right on the Mississippi waterfront, Harrah’s is the perfect spot for your first night in the Crescent City. With over 100 table games, 20 poker tables, and more than 1,800 slot machines, you and your friends can enjoy a jackpot of excitement all night long.

Try your luck with your entourage and up the ante by reserving a private gaming table just for you all to enjoy!

Not ready for the night to end? Head down to our famous Bourbon Street with bars such as Cats Meow, Bourbon Cowboy, and countless others for more fun in the city!

Day 2

Take a pit stop from the traditional bachelor party festivities with some friendly competition at Nola Motorsports! 

This 700-acre park is perfect for the groom-to-be with a need for speed. It’s the largest karting track in the country, giving you and your crew 40 acres of pure go-kart racing fun, filled with hair raising twists and turns.

After the track, you and your crew can get cleaned up and head over to the Warehouse District. Here, you’ll find Barcadia— an eclectic bar that combines the nostalgia of childhood with flavors suited for your grown-up, groom-to-be palette. 

Grab a drink or two from the bar’s extensive menu and channel your inner child with a game of Pac-Man with friends. With a menu full of gourmet grub and a matchless collection of vintage arcade games, you can eat, drink and play your heart out!

Afterwards if you are still looking for more, head over to our Vintage Rock Club and dance to the 'best of the decades' with a cocktail in hand while watching throwback music videos, concert footage, and the most memorable movie clips on their 185" video wall. 

Day 3

Rise and shine and set sail for a day on the Gulf with Bourgeois Fishing Charters! This charter fishing trip is the perfect bachelor party activity, letting you spend your day relaxing on the water and reeling in ‘reds. 

If your party isn’t the early-bird type, sleep in and start your day with a New Orleans classic: a cup of Café au lait and beignets from Cafe du Monde. Their locale at New Orleans City Park is perfect for an easygoing morning meal.

After breakfast, stick around City Park for a relaxing game of golf. Tee up and enjoy a beautiful game among the park’s Live Oak trees, lagoons, and bridges. There are two spacious 18-holes courses for you to choose from, and each is designed to be fun for all skill levels. It’s an ideal ending to an unforgettable trip and an only-in-New-Orleans experience!
