Mention honeymoon travel, and almost everybody starts thinking about tropical islands, romantic cities, luxury cruises, national parks gifted with nature’s wonders, and all the world’s other fabulous destinations.Right?

So tell me why it’s nearly impossible to find a honeymoon movie that takes place in a gorgeous locale. Most of the time the destination isn’t even identifiable. Not to mention you wouldn’t want to spend your honeymoon or any other moments of your life around some of the deranged characters (ax murderers, for instance) found in many of these films.

The Internet Movie Database lists more than 200 movies about honeymoons. Here are a few highlights of the good, the bad, and the downright horrible:

Honeymoon in Vegas (1992): A comedy with James Caan, Nicolas Cage, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Honeymoon Locale: Las Vegas. Very funny, with lots of comedic twists and turns—who can forget the Flying Elvises? Caan, Cage, and Parker are all at their considerable comedic best. Nominated for 2 Golden Globes. Definitely one of the better honeymoon movies to be found.

Once upon a Honeymoon (1942): A war-time drama/romance with Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers. Honeymoon Locale: Europe. Grant is a radio correspondent in 1938 Europe, when he meets and falls in love with Rogers—who is married to an Austrian Baron (who, unknown to her, is a Nazi spy). Grant tries to expose the Baron, and complications ensue. These two superstars from the past are something to watch.

What Happens in Vegas… (2008): A comedy starring Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz. Honeymoon Locale: Las Vegas. Two strangers vacationing in Vegas get drunk and wake up married—and totally disliking each other. A judge refuses a quickie annulment, ruling that they live together for 6 months before splitting the huge jackpot they won the night before (which precipitated their big drunk to begin with)…and the plot, such as it is, thickens. As one reviewer put it, “…the filmmakers assume everyone in the audience has both attention deficit disorder and dementia.”

The Honeymoon Killers (1970): A thriller starring Tony Lo Bianco and Shirley Stoler. Honeymoon Locale: Various seedy spots in the USA. When a womanizing con man and a no-nonsense nurse fall in love, they travel across the country as brother and sister. Their goal: to swindle and kill, in increasingly bloody fashion, the lonely women he marries. Based on the 1940s real-life “Lonely Hearts Murders,” the black-and-white film has a gritty reality and deserves a wider audience. New Wave French film director Francois Truffaut supposedly called this his favorite American film.

Haunted Honeymoon (1986): A comedy-thriller starring Gene Wilder, Gilda Radner, and Dom Deluise. Honeymoon locale: Who knows? A genius of a comedy trio! Wilder & Radner are caught in his aunt’s big, spooky house out in the country with lots of wacky/scary people—and a werewolf on the loose. Wilder also directed.

The time has come in every soon-to-be bride’s life that she embarks on a journey with her closest girlfriends. There will be 4-inch heels. There will be plenty of lip gloss. There will be fake eyelashes. There will be Vegas… Are you not entertained?!

So while most of you have seen The Hangover and have since banned your boyfriends from ever partying it up bachelor style in Vegas, I feel like every guy deserves a chance to walk on the dark side. Granted, if that dark side includes vajayjay up in his face, then that’s pushing it.

Mr. Big’s friends took him to the City of Sin for his bachelor party last week. He drank, he toured, he conquered. Then he came back to work the next day hungover. While I encouraged Big to go to a strip joint just for giggles, only a couple of his friends actually sought-out women in g-strings at 6 in the morning. As I’ve explained to some of my girlfriends, I trust Big, so strippers are not an issue. And my sister gave him a stern lecture that if he did go see strippers, to not touch them because herpes can jump.

Anyway, so now it’s my turn to go to Vegas and as my dad would say, whoop it up. There will be no male strippers or Chippendales adventures. I don’t like banana hammocks all up in my space and male dancers remind me too much of Arnold Schwarzenegger, which creeps me out. Like Kendra Wilkinson, sometimes it’s hot to have female strippers over guys. That way, you get ideas.

While we don’t have any set plans besides eating, shopping, hydrating, clubbing, and sleeping – there are plenty of fun and free things to do in Vegas that aren’t so naughty.

I have yet to see the Bellagio fountains. It’s one of the biggest attractions that takes place every night, but I somehow am nowhere near the Bellagio hotel when the fountain display begins.

The Ferrari display room at the Wynn is only $10. For around the same price you can walk over to the Palazzo for their Lamborghini showroom. Two fabulous brands of cars that you probably can’t afford…

Then there’s the not-so-thrifty things you can do in Vegas, such as entering zero gravity with your friends. It’ll run you over $3,000 – but when else can you pretend to be in outer space besides riding in the rocket ship ride outside of a grocery store?

If you’re a wannabe spy, you should try the Stiletto Spy School, where they teach you hand-to-hand combat, shooting guns and how to mix martinis. Again, it’s over $3,000 for a weekend full of faux spy-filled espionage. Is it really worth it? Maybe… But most of us will never know.

Last time in Vegas, we visited Madam Tussauds’ wax museum for roughly $15. It was a fun tour, ending with the Master Chief from Halo. While I’m more of the video game freak than my friends, it was a good ending to a wonderful trip.

It’ll be hard to top our previous trip last year. Free booze, free clubbing and free silly pictures on the strip – it’s hard to beat. There was even a hot bartender our last night who looked like David Beckham. I hope he still works there…

If you’re not the partying type (surprisingly, I’m not) there’s tons of other family-friendly things to do in Vegas.
