When it comes to the best way to celebrate Halloween, I think the raunchier the better. This is truly a holiday where you can embrace your Dionysian side and break free. One of the best ways to do this is to take an impromptu trip. A global study of 9,200 travelers in 31 countries conducted by Hotels.com Mobile Travel Tracker revealed that more than 53% of Americans have made same-day hotel reservations. Talk about last minute. Why do they do this? Well, 15% of those people are booked because a date night or night out went too well and they need somewhere to crash.
With Halloween weekend quickly approaching, it's a great time to get out, have some silly fun, and meet new friends — in costume, of course. Hotels.com has compiled a list of the best bachelorette parties at hotels across the country, so you can see new places and find new love in one fell swoop. Hey, after all, hotel sex is in the top five places to have sex.
If you don't have plans, here are some Halloween parties around the country, from costume parties in Chicago to Halloween booze nights near San Diego, just don't forget your devil's horns:
