The world is full of fantastic destinations that know how to put on a great party and Flight Centre's Group Travel Experts are here to take care of all the arrangements. So strap yourself because this is going to be one hectic ride.
Las Vegas, America
The ultimate adult playground - the foundations as a gaming metropolis were laid in 1931, when gambling was legalised in Vegas. Today there are around 80 casinos competing for your attention. In between rolling the dice, be sure to check out the Bellagio’s spectacular water show, the erupting volcano at the Mirage and take a gondola ride at the Venetian Hotel. While you’re in America, you may like to check out New Orleans and the city that never sleeps, New York.
Ibiza, Spain
The nightlife in Ibiza, an island off the east coast of Spain, is legendary. This is where the hottest DJs regularly spin the decks to the delight of holiday-makers determined to boogie. The clubs are generally located in Ibiza Town, on the southeast coast of the Island. And when the music stop, head to the beach for a worthy recovery. For a fascinating day trip, head across to Cova de Can Marçà in Puerto de San Miguel to explore these massive caves. Parasailing is also popular on the glorious Mediterranean waters.
Bali, Indonesia
With direct flights from many Australian cities, it’s easy to depart Australia in the morning and to raise your Bintang that night to your new life as a married man. The clubs of Kuta and Legian are guaranteed to deliver a satisfying night of partying. For the day after your all night revelry, be sure to pull up a lounge chair on the beach to take in that rejuvenating sunshine.
Gold Coast, Australia
Originally it was the 35 kilometres of uninterrupted beach that first attracted holiday-makers to the region. Today however, while the sand is still golden, there’s also a thriving nightlife for those determined to party. The entertainment hubs are centred around Broadbeach with the famed Jupiter’s Hotel and Casino and Cavill Avenue in Surfers Paradise. Here you’ll find the trendiest bars and clubs that keep the music going until the sun rises on the spectacular coastline.
Macau
As a special administrative region of China, Macau deserves particular attention. The big drawcard in this former Portuguese colony is gambling - try your luck in the casinos that line the waterfront. On the other hand, consider betting on the dogs at the regular greyhound races. If you’d like to explore the cultural attractions – then take a look at the iconic façade of the Sao Paulo Cathedral and the statue of Bodhisatta Avalokitesvara.
Cancun, Mexico
With a definite skew towards college students, the coastline tracking south from the commercial heart of Cancun boasts a string of luxury resorts all permanently in a holiday mode. With views over the Caribbean, the water is turquoise and the sand glows – making this one beautiful destination to party it up. And once the sun sets the bars and clubs will have you entertained well into the night.
Dublin, Ireland
Celebrate some Irish craic by heading to Temple Bar in the heart of Dublin to savour a perfectly poured Guinness or two. Every night’s a party in Dublin so jet in for a good quality bonding bender with the best buds before the big day. And there's no better day excursion than taking a tour of the Guinness Storehouse – where the famed beverage is produced. The formalities conclude in the Gravity Bar on the seventh floor, where a pint will be waiting as you admire the views across the city.
Phuket, Thailand
For revelry Thai-style, head to Patong on the west coast of Phuket. Dubbed the party capital of Asia, you’ll be sure to find your preferred bar. After a solid night in the discotheque, enjoy some down time in quieter Karon or head across to Phi Phi Island, the location that was immortalised in the film, The Beach. Those iconic limestone karsts are found at Phang Nga Bay, which is just north of Phuket heading towards Krabi.
