Nashville offers all the makings for a fun girls' night(s) out, plus Southern charm.
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. Both packages
include two nights in luxury accommodations and complimentary self-parking. In

addition, director of public relations for the hotel Christina VerHeul points out that
"this is a focus for 2015 and we will be creating new offerings throughout the year
to appeal to even more people within this segment."

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.
