Bachelor Party

So I am planning a bachelor party for a good friend whose is getting married. This thread is kind of two questions, and each question branches out from there but let’s give it a shot.
Background: We are having the party on the 28th of July in the Seattle Area. The plan at this point is to have a function where we all relive childhood or just have a good time, then followed by some debauchery. The plan for the good times was to go to a place called “Champs indoor go-karting.” But Champs would cost us $49 a driver a piece to reserve the place for the party. If we don’t reserve and just go, it will $15 bucks a piece but we run the chance of be locked out by another bachelor party. After Champs we planned on holding the rest of the festivities at a Hotel, where we could all get together and chill-lax (as the kids like to say) with some beers, some food, and personal “entertainment.”
Creating a hypothetical situation out of this let’s say: the actives out side the hotel wraps up around 7pm - 8pm and then everyone adjourns to the Hotel. So from around 8pm to whenever, we have to keep the party going sans 1 hour when the entertainment will be there. So for duration of the time, how can we keep the party alive? If you been to a bachelor party that eventually settled into one location, What activities kept the party alive or nearly killed it? Is bar-hopping our only hope?
Second off, since we are not “married” to Champs go-karting, what places would you recommend to hit up or activities to do in the Seattle area? We are currently looking into: Funtasia, Point-defiance go-karts and batting cages, Traxx racing, Family Fun center. Is there anything that comes to mind that I didn’t mention that would be fun, just screwing around? Literally anything, but maybe with the exception of cost seeing as we are already estimating that we will be hitting the 1k mark for cost already.
TL : DR
Going to have a bachelor party, need some good ideas on keeping the party lively and enjoyable while taking advantage of meeting room where it will be staged, games maybe (drinking games or something active).
What kind of enjoyable things are there to do in the sense of pure “childhood-esque” fun for a bachelor party, any Seattle specific/related ideas would be great. (e.g. go-karts, mini-golf, laser tag, paint ball, ect.)

It's the first thing I thought of, though it might be on the noisy side.
BUT IT WILL BE AWESOME
To be on the safe side bring some cards...maybe Uno cards if you really want to shoot for the "childhood experience." Also Nerf Gun wars sound like a blast.
Uh, I think the OP mentioned a meeting room of some sorts for the festivities. I don't know what the size restrictions are, but I assume that nobody will be sleeping in the next meeting room over. I can imagine if you were having a bachelor party with "entertainment" in an actual room with a bed and stuff, running around going "shhh" is going to suck the fun out of things.
Also, I didn't suggest that anything be broken. It's awful hard to smash a window or table with a nerf dart.
Just sayin', is all.
Sounds like a party to me. As long as water guns are game. (I still have all my Super Soakers) Proud to say. ;-)
as far as other things to do, if there's going to be alcohol, you're probably going to be pretty fine. Just threw a bachelor party this weekend. Granted, we were in Chelan on the river, but I had my Wii and hooked that up. Played that alot. Poker is ALWAYS a good choice too if you have chips.
Another thing that ended up being really good about this last one is try and make sure no one gets so messed up that they throw up/pass out. Having to babysit someone is no good. Try and keep it to one kind of alcohol. We chose beer and tequila, which actually mix well together. If you have alot of different hard stuff, someone will get sick cuz they'll start mixing it up.
Also, be sure your phones are charged so that you can make plenty of drunk calls. I made 5 this weekend, including calls to my old boss and my current boss.
Correct, the meeting rooms are on the 1st and 2nd floor of the basement. The meeting rooms are rarely (read: never) in use on the weekends. All of this translates to raising hell, at least noise-wise, and not having to worry about it. Plus there is next to nothing to break in the meeting room. I just want to keep the pace going with the party and have ideas/activities in the wings in case needed. I was think earlier on we could have a quiz on how well the guests know the groom in a part serious, part roasting of the groom. The unfortunate winner would have to do a beer bong (or something entertaining).
I thinking that after the dancer does her thing in the meeting room, the rest of the guys might want to take to the streets and be rowdy and prowl for women. (I am a street walking cheatah with a heart full of napalm)
The go-kart/whatever first phase is mainly to have some good honest guy fun that doesn't happen so much when you are married or older.
That is why, my friends, I plan to purchase a legitmate breath-alyzer for $50 at Walgeens. That way we can test people to make sure they are as drunk as they say they are, or really as drunk we want them to be, but also not oo drunk. It will also serve us well when the best man, the groom, and I decide to tear up the sound in the groom's uncle's speed boat.
I have to admit my ignorance though in not exactly knowing what is the "drink your drunk" attitude. I am guessing that it is people that assume as soon as one consumes alcohol, that person is drunk and cannot be trusted.

It's just a term I've heard used to describe people who are good at shoving liquor down other people's throats.
