The Loews Vanderbilt Hotel Nashville has two packages to help ladies plan the perfect party. "Nashville is one of those cities that can't help but be fun. We have great music, great restaurants, great bars, great shopping, great weather, and tons of attractions for a variety of ages and interests. It's also still pretty affordable and easy to get to by car or by plane, so it's a great central meeting spot," says general manager Tony Phillips. The "tame" Belles & Whistles package (starting at $229 per night) includes a champagne welcome amenity, cocktails at Mason Bar, and a choice of breakfast or lunch at Masons, plus late check-out. Now, for those who are ready to party hard and take in the music scene, the Rhythms of the South (starting at $274 per night) includes two tickets to a Grand Ole Opry performance, two tickets to the Country Music Hall of Fame, and a $25 food and beverage credit.

(800) 336-3335; loewshotels.com/vanderbilt-hotel For a legendary guys' getaway fit to party like a rock star, gamble, and have a rambunctious time, Vegas is always the answer. Insert ARIA, home to the LIQUID Pool lounge, an adults-only poolside experience featuring world-class DJs; luxe cabanas with 40-inch, flat-screen TVs; plush daybeds; and access to two semiprivate dipping pools. Lots of partying options can be found on-property including the largest selection of absinthe in the nation at Sage, where guys participate in a Russian-style absinthe tasting. During the tasting, the server ignites the drink and pours the blazing potion into a glass of OJ, then traps it in the glass with a cloth napkin. Guests then inhale the warm air through a straw, and exhale it as they finish the drink. Guys up for a challenge can take on the 7-second beer chug at the Todd English P.U.B. at Crystals. If they can pound a pint in seven seconds flat, the beer is on the house-talk about a pre-party. Guys can also take on a hand of poker or a round of golf on site. The Sky Suites are the perfect complement to an epic guys' getaway, offering the ultimate "man-cave" with views of the Strip, oversized flat-screen TVs, 24-hour butler service, roundtrip airport limo service, private entrance to the hotel, VIP check-in and access to the Sky Suite lounge for round-the-clock complimentary drinks and hor d'oeuvres. The Suite Escape package offers a $500 resort credit with any three consecutive nights booked.
