bachelor party in Scottsdale!

8 guys from Canada, mid 20's heading down to Scottsdale in November (Fri-Sun) for a bachelor party. . I'm looking for some advice on where to stay, things to do, and places to go.

For accommodations we're looking for a Airbnb that will sleep all 8 of us, close to Old Town nightlife and clubs.

What are the good clubs in Scottsdale?

Lastly but most importantly, should we go to the strip club for strippers, or hire a private dancer to our Airbnb?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Scottsdale is a fantastic spot for a bachelor party, especially in November when the weather is perfect for both daytime and nightlife activities. With 8 guys in your mid-20s, you’ll want a base that’s convenient to Old Town for easy access to bars, clubs, and other entertainment.

Accommodations: Airbnb is a great choice for a group of 8, especially if you want space, privacy, and the ability to cook or hang out together. Look for rentals in or near Old Town Scottsdale so you’re within walking distance of nightlife. Large homes or condos with multiple bedrooms and a pool are ideal for daytime chill sessions or pre-nightlife parties. Booking early is key, as November weekends fill up quickly.

  • Search for properties labeled as “entire home” with at least 4 bedrooms to comfortably fit 8 people.
  • Consider places with a pool or hot tub—it adds to the party vibe.
  • Check reviews for proximity to Old Town nightlife and ease of parking if you’ll have cars.

Nightlife & Clubs: Old Town Scottsdale is the hub for clubs, bars, and lounges. Some popular options for bachelor parties include:

  • El Hefe – Known for its high-energy atmosphere and music, perfect for large groups.
  • Wasted Grain – Multi-level bar with dance floors and outdoor patios.
  • Maya Day + Nightclub – Offers poolside partying during the day and nightclub vibes at night.
  • BarSmith – More casual, great for starting the night with drinks before hitting a club.
  • RNB Fridays Live – Check if any special events are happening during your weekend.

Entertainment Options: Scottsdale has options for bachelor party activities beyond drinking and clubbing:

  • Pool parties or renting a cabana at a resort pool (The W Scottsdale and Talking Stick Resort sometimes offer day passes).
  • Golf or Topgolf – Fun and active daytime options.
  • Adventure tours – ATV tours, desert jeep tours, or even hot air balloon rides if you want something unique.

Strip Club vs Private Dancer: This is a personal choice based on your group’s comfort level. Both options are legal in Scottsdale:

  • Strip club: Gives a full nightlife experience with drinks, music, and dancers. Clubs in Scottsdale include Deja Vu Showgirls and Spearmint Rhino. Going out can be more social and fits the “night out” vibe.
  • Private dancer to Airbnb: Offers privacy, flexibility, and a tailored experience. This can be less stressful logistically since you don’t have to navigate a club with a group, and the vibe can be more intimate and relaxed.

Overall, a combination works well for bachelor parties: perhaps start the night with a private pre-party at the Airbnb, then head out to Old Town for clubs and nightlife.

Additional tips:

  • Book your Airbnb and any entertainment or tours well in advance, November weekends are busy.
  • Plan transportation ahead; ride-share or Uber is convenient in Old Town.
  • Stay safe—keep an eye on your group, especially if consuming alcohol or doing desert activities.

With this plan, your group should have an epic bachelor party weekend in Scottsdale with plenty of flexibility for both daytime adventures and nightlife fun.
