When it comes to the best way to celebrate Halloween, I say the more debauchery the better. It's really the holiday when you can embrace your Dionysian side and cut loose. One of the best ways to do this is an impromptu trip. According to the Hotels.com Mobile Travel Tracker, a global study of 9,200 travelers across 31 countries, more than 53 percent of American have made a same-day hotel booking. Talk about last-minute. Why are they doing this? Well, 15 percent of those were booked because a date night or night went so well they needed somewhere to crash.
And with Halloween weekend approaching, it's a great time to get out there, have some silly fun, and meet someone new — in costume, of course. Hotels.com compiled a list of the best singles parties at hotels all around the country, so you can see a new place and find a new fling, all in one go. Hey, hotel sex is in the top five places to have sex, after all.
If you don't have plans, here are some Halloween parties all around the country, from costume parties in Chicago to Hallo-wine night near San Diego, just don't forget your devil horns:
