You’re in a tough spot. You are supposed to be happy and supportive of your bachelorette best friend, but while you’re planning her big day, you can’t help but feel a little jealousy and resentment. You’re planning her big bash in Las Vegas, which actually puts you at a rather advantageous position to do something some may say is a little “selfish” – you can have yourself an easy one night stand.

Now, we know what you’re thinking. “I can’t do that to my best friend! It’s her big weekend!” To that we say – “Why not!?” You’ve gone through all the trouble of planning her event, so why can’t you just take care of yourself for one night? We’re not talking about ditching her during the entire bash, and definitely not ditching her on her big night. You’re just taking one night to take care of yourself and your own needs.

So, where can you go in Vegas to find a guy worthy of your brief time? Your immediate thoughts may lead you to a nightclub, but we have much better options for you. Nightclubs are overcrowded, loud, and certainly don’t make for a good environment to pick up a guy for a night. We’ve compiled a list of the best types of places you should have no problem finding a man to satiate your nightly needs.

Sports Book

Before you start on how much you may hate sports, let’s get this out of the way – you don’t have to like sports. In fact, it may work in your favor if you do have a ignorance when it comes to them. The trick here is to get a guy to have to dive into conversation with you, and we find that the best way to do that is to ask questions about the sport they’re betting on.

When you first set foot inside a sports book, you’ll see men looking intently at a row of TV screens. Your first job is going to be to find one that you are attracted to. There’s a little effort needed in picking up a guy at a sports book, so you want the end game to be worth it. Once you decide on a fellow, coyly slide in next to him and give it a minute before you say anything.

When you do start talking, you need to come up with something quick. He may get suspicious as to why you’re there if you have no idea what you’re doing. Say something like, “My brothers gamble at these things all the time and I’ve wanted to see what the fuss is about.” In one sentence, you kill two birds with one stone. You explain your presence and give him the inkling that you don’t know what you’re doing. From this point, everything should fall into place.

There is something you should be wary of. When it comes to sports, some guys are die hard. That’s not a big deal, because you’re just looking for a fling during your stay; but you don’t want to hit a sports book during a big event. Stay away during the Super Bowl, Daytona 500, just about any Sunday during football season, and other big sporting events. Chances are you’ll be more of a nuisance than anything.

Strip Clubs

Okay. Before you start an uproar, let us explain. You may think strip clubs are just for guys and you have absolutely no place in one, but you’d be wrong. It’s not uncommon for gals to enjoy the company of others in these often criticized venues. When you walk into a strip club, don’t feel like you’re entering alien territory.

So, what can a strip club do for you? It’s quite simple, actually. Guys go to strip clubs simply to ogle the female form. They love it. They’re infatuated with it. Yet, when it comes to strippers, they can’t lay their hands on it. Now, you’re an attractive gal built to draw some attention, so who’s to say you can’t give the guys what the strippers can’t – some physical interaction.

After watching strippers for so long, the male patrons are bound to get themselves a little too “excited” for their own comfort. They’re going to need a release, and that release is going to come in the form of you. They’ll see you standing at the bar, looking as fine as ever, and they’ll aim to pounce. From there, it’s just a waiting game. Chances are you won’t even have to open your mouth to get any attention. The guys will just start to flock to you.

In a strip club, you will probably have several options of guys, so don’t feel like you have to take the first guy that talks to you back to your hotel. Be picky. You’ll still get what you’re looking for. Make sure you wear something a little provocative, though. You are in a strip club.

Pool Parties (Dayclub)

Within the confines of your bikini, you can easily attract a flock of the opposite sex; which is why we can’t recommend pool clubs enough when it comes to looking for that one night fling. Pools offer up one of the best settings to help you meet and get to know people, which is ironic because they are just four walls shy of being a nightclub.

For starters, when you’re swimming, chances are you’re not too far from another person. The pools themselves get crowded quickly, so even if you had a little space around you, you can guarantee it’ll be filled up right away. Thanks to this, though, it puts you in line of being right next to a hot guy or two.

You may be thinking about the noise level, but this is where a pool differs vastly from a nightclub. Nightclubs are enclosed spaces and, most times, are a little too loud to actually strike up conversation with another person. The bass reverberates against the walls and there’s this cacophony of loud voices. At a pool club, the sound actually has somewhere to travel. You won’t have this unbearable bass rattling your ear drum. You’ll actually be able to hear the person next to you.

Another benefit of a dayclub over a nightclub? Cabanas. While nightclubs have VIP tables, they’re privacy levels are nowhere near what you’ll get with a cabana. If you want to (and can afford) to escape with the guy of your choice, a cabana is going to give you your own private room to hide away in. Some cabanas even have a curtain, incase the utmost privacy is required.

These are just three of the venues you can try and score a guy at, but they’re also three of the best. Sure, you can give a nightclub or bar a go, but we think you will find yourself leaving sorely disappointed. If we were to give you any other advice when it comes to picking up a guy during your stay in Vegas, it would be this most important rule:

Don’t do it on the night of the bachelorette party!
