Las Vegas, United States
Las Vegas is a well-known tourist destination for group travelers. Situated in the Mojave Desert, the city is filled with numerous tourist attractions. On the Las Vegas Strip, you can find attractions such as casinos, hotels like the MGM Grand Hotel, and replicas of popular attractions from all over the world like the Statue of Liberty, the Egyptian Sphinx, and the Eiffel tower.
Begin your adventure with your friends by taking a walk down Fremont Street. With its bright lights, massive billboards, and impressive signs, it is a street to marvel at and a great place for a group picture. Here, you and your friends can enjoy cocktails at a bar, take in the Viva Vision light show and tour the infamous Mob Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement.
Catching a show with your friends is a great way to make memories. Las Vegas is home to several musicals, comedy, burlesque, and circus shows that are utterly thrilling. After finishing a show, try your luck at one of the many slot machines at a casino. If that isn’t your style, head over to the blackjack table for some high-stakes betting. It is truly fun to compare your odds with your friends during rounds of poker.
Bali, Indonesia
Looking for a tropical paradise? Then look no further than Bali, a green and serene province in Indonesia. This group-friendly vacation spot has it all from scenic temples and holistic centers in Ubud to professional-grade surf waves in Keramas and Uluwatu.
Taking a group tour around the island is one of the best ways to explore it. On the tour, you can expect to see the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, Mount Agung and the famous Bali Swings.
The food in Bali is a must-try as the city’s terraced rice fields provide fresh produce for many of its signature dishes such as Nasi Goreng, fried rice; Bubur Injin, a rice dessert and Nasi Kuning, a yellow rice dish. If the dishes are to your liking, there are several cooking classes on offer to teach you and your friends to replicate these meals at home.
