Hotel offers 'mancation' fun for the lads

Hotels look set to be changed forever after one in Miami Beach, Florida, is providing an altogether different package for its male guests.
The Regent South Beach is offering getaways specifically targeted at men who want to go on vacation with their friends – and it's not likely the lads will be writing home to their girlfriends about it.
All male holidays have become increasingly popular over the last few years and hotels across the world are starting to take advantage of the so called "mancation".
Groups of men on stag weekends, graduation trips or just a good old lad's holiday are now being offered poker parties, hand-rolled cigars, buckets of beer and sports tickets.
Gene Grabarnick, who is developing the Regent South Beach, said: "What my friends and I like is what we're putting into this hotel."
Josh Lesnick, president I'm in!, a Massachusetts-based business which organises trips for men, said: "These trips are about a group of people that most likely met in college and are sort of just extending their yesterdays."
