    The fiancé’ has made it clear -- strippers are out of the question. Yet some sort of debauchery is necessary, or it wouldn’t be a true bachelor party. In a city as grand as San Diego, there are a number of options for the not-too-single man that include beautiful women, stiff drinks, and good times. G-strings and lap dances not included.

    This is your day to feel like a VIP. Why not rent out the most elite private room at one of Gaslamp’s hottest clubs? Spanning one side of Belo’s cavernous Green Room, the heavenly White Room hovers a foot off the ground like a magic carpet, shrouded in mysterious, semi-transparent curtains and furnished with white vinyl couches. Who needs strippers when you’ve got cocktail servers sheathed in white, servicing your every command? The room also boasts the club’s best view of the gorgeous go-go dancers, so you can catch one last eyeful before you tie the knot.

    If you’re not interested in spending the atrocious sums required for a Vegas vacation, you might want to check into one of San Diego’s nearer casinos instead. Viejas, Barras, Harrah’s, and Sycuan are within an easy drive of the city, yet far-flung enough to provide a relaxing, secluded feel. All of the attractions Nevada’s eastward city of ill repute offers are available-except, of course, the strippers. Play some games, see a show, and party in the bars. Before you drive back, stop by one of the resort spas and invigorate yourself for the big day ahead.

    San Diego’s favorite standby for bachelor parties is definitely Pacific Beach Bar and Grill. Pre-party at the nearby shore before heading inside for a wild night. Bachelorettes frequent the bar as well, so you can commiserate and compare floral arrangements over cocktails. Your friends will love the rock-bottom drink prices as they purchase you shot after shot. Just hope that too many cold beers doesn’t result in cold feet.

    Glowing on the inside, furtive on the outside, Stingaree’s private cabanas on the megaclub’s Rooftop Oasis are exclusiveness at its finest. You and your friends will feel like true rock stars, immersed in tropical night over the throbbing dance levels below. Despite its relative youth, Stingaree is already famed as the number one destination in San Diego to meet beautiful women. Because you’ve bagged yours already, there’s no harm in kingly observation from your curtained throne, surrounded by fire pits, reflection pools, and flickering torches. Bottle service will ensure the royal entourage stays thoroughly intoxicated.

    It’s a rare man in San Diego who hasn’t had a taste of Hooters. The city has three versions of the favorite politically incorrect restaurant, in the Gaslamp, Pacific Beach and Mission Valley. Whatever location you choose, know that the amply endowed young "Hooters Girls" love to show a good time to men concluding their bachelorhood. Read: hula hoops, cold hot dogs, stickers, stools, and dancing. It might be humiliating, but hey, when are that many girls going to pay attention to you ever again? Plus, the restaurant’s prices for wings and beer pitchers are unbeatable. Gorge yourself like the bachelor you are-for another few days, at least.
