No girls allowed. It's been written on clubhouse walls since time immemorial, and has become the pledge for men everywhere trying to escape the infamous cooties trap.
The slightly more mature version of that clubhouse screed is the bromance, a friendly bond among boys, and it is known to be quite unbreakable. But that's not to say it couldn't use strengthening from time to time.
For those who want to relive those days of acting out with your friends, proving your masculinity or just simply needed to reconnect, these 10 destinations/experiences offer the utmost package to your boys getaway going without a hitch.
Vegas
For the partygoers
No city can tame the wild party animal that is dying to be unleashed than that of Vegas.
It is about that time you and your buds rent a limo and hop out of that stretched beauty in style and approach the city's legendary Strip like a scene out of "Hangover." The only difference is you'll want to remember every last bit of unforgettable memories you are about to create with your closest pals.
With a pair of sunglasses (only the coolest celebs wear these at night) and your sharpest outfit, grace the vibrant nightclubs flooded with crazed partygoers hitting the dance floors as though they are trying to dodge the brilliant strobes of light in spots like the star-studded, two-story LAX; the Palms' Ghostbar, and Haze in Aria.
Not to leave out the hedonists, The Pool at Rumor and Sapphire Pool & Day Club are ideal for capturing a glimpse of skimpy swimsuits, and Cheetah's Gentleman's Club caters to wild fantasies.
Miami Beach
For the beach bums
Finding that perfect spot on Miami Beach's pristine coastlines is half the battle.
What's next?
You and your boys make a dash for the scintillating water. At least that's what your feet will want to do once they hit the hot sands of South Beach, the postcard for U.S. beaches, where surfers and swimmers flock to test its monolithic waves.
Or you may want to gravitate to North Shore Open Space Park. Boarded by restaurants and cafes, it is consistently a favorite amongst beachgoers because of its lush beauty.
Maybe hitting the water isn't your style, but sunbathing is. Miami's sun-kissed beaches are perfect tan as you try not to sneak a peek at each bombshell that walks by. Whatever your wish, Miami Beach is ready to fulfill that order.
San Jose
For the golfers
The idyllic weather of San Jose makes this city a golfer's paradise year round. Championship greens take center stage among fans of the sport looking to get their "Tiger Woods" moment on.
What better way to feel like a pro than with your buddies, who'll make the perfect audience for your hole-in-one. Expect to hear chants of "Noonan" during every putt, though.
The Muni is a topnotch retreat where you can reserve a tee on any of its décor of 18 courses; enjoy a friendly tournament and hang out at its Bar & Grill after a long match.
With two Jack Nicklaus-style golf courses, Coyote Creek embodies the breathtaking beauty of San Jose as well as offering provisions of golf lessons for amateurs and acres of driving ranges.
Lake Placid
For the fishermen
Make no mistake: In the streams of Lake Placid you'll find much more than trout. You'll find the kind of bromance destinations your favorite fish tales are made of.
Lake Placid, especially in spring when the lakes begin to loosen from their icy composures, brings fishermen from all over, with their egos in tow.
Anglers will have the ability spot swimmers in large numbers including rock bass, smallmouth bass, rainbow trout, and brown trout to name a few.
Bring your lines and lures and take to the region's waterways for a vacation filled with adventure and fun in hopes of hooking your biggest catch of the day.
Alaska
For the hunters
Nothing screams the great outdoors like the state of Alaska. And for the mighty and macho, there's no better way to prove your masculinity then trapping a beast.
You'll be able to beat your fists upon your chest like Tarzan after capturing a wild boar or moose in migration.
Coast the trail ways on a goat hunt, follow the migrations of peculiar species of birds and take that perfect shot.
Hunting requires strict planning, your full attention and your most outdoorsy mates who will be there in full spirits to help you carry your catch and celebrate your victory.
Grand Canyon
For the hikers
The Grand Canyon's naturalistic appeal creates an out-of-body experience you'll have to experience to believe. From its lowest valleys to its highest peaks, its dramatic scenery beckons the bravest adventurers to explore trails buried deep within the canyon's unique rock formations.
If you and your buddies are craving a thrill-seeking experience then a hike in the Grand Canyon awaits your arrival.
Bring plenty of water and energy. The Grand Canyon's winding trails as beautiful as they are challenging, specifically in the North and South Rim as well as the South Kaibab Trail, which are also ideal for setting up camp once the sun set beneath the Grand Canyon's rocky walls.
You may be too old for ghost stories, but you're never to old to share life stories over a bonfire.
NYC
For those secure in their brohood
Sure there are sights and clubs and adventure, but in the heart of New York City's West City lies a place where men can escape for a day or two of pampering.
In Why Not Men's Spa you and your pals are cordially invited to rejuvenate your bodies with exfoliating treatments, facials, massages, waxing, manicures, and pedicure procedures. It's cool, bro. No judgement.
Tailored to providing a relaxing oasis, not even the chaos of the city is heard once you shut its doors, ensuring you'll definitely feel alive and ready to tackle the world.
You wont need to prove your masculinity here because you'll be too busy having your every desire catered to with the help of the spa's masseuses.

Wiston-Salem
For the burning rubber fanatics
What is a bromance getaway without an adrenaline-pumping show? As one of the biggest sports to hit the U.S., car racing magnetizes screaming fans to the sidelines as drivers swerve curves, kick up mud, and barely miss accidents with their off-the-wall driving techniques.
The Madhouse, formally known as Bowman Gray Stadium, provides just that and much more!
You'll be in total amazement as cars smash into each other and spin out of control all in pursuit of the gloried checkered flag. Expect fist bumps and calls of "Shake 'n' Bake!" from your bros.
Hawaii
For the adventurist
Are you and your buds craving that high-altitude experience over the Pacific Ocean?
Hawaii does not necessarily have to be the backdrop for a romantic vacation getaway; you can have an authentic male bonding experience grabbing on for dear life as you soar the skies by parasailing over the Pacific.
Nothing cements bromance like adrenaline, and once your feet touch land, you'll definitely be sharing an "I love you, bro" moment.
