Bollywood: Best Vanderpump Rules Vacation Moments, Ranked

It's always entertaining to see the Vanderpump Rules cast talking through their issues in the back alley at SUR. However, the drama always kicks up a notch (or five) when they travel. There have been so many iconic Vanderpump Rules vacation moments throughout the years. There are almost too many epic moments to count. Keyword: "almost."

While the crew always delivers when they leave California, there are some moments that stand out more than others. They started out strong with Stassi Schroeder's birthday trip in Las Vegas during the first season. Jax Taylor elected to wear a white, chunky sweater in the Nevada heat, cementing his status as a reality TV icon. Still, that wasn't the only time Jax's fashion choices took center stage. Who could ever forget his arrest for stealing $300 sunglasses in Hawaii?

Jax's frenemy Tom Sandoval had some pretty legendary vacation moments throughout the years as well. The man goes all out when he travels: getting tattoos, dressing in drag, and occasionally crying with his ex-girlfriend. Speaking of Kristen Doute, she knows how to stir things up on a trip and even continue the drama once the SURvers return home. Let's relive the drama with a ranking of Vanderpump Rules' most iconic vacation moments.

This moment did not happen during a vacation, but it deserves an honorable mention on the list because it does stem from a trip to Miami. In Season 3, Kristen brought in AnneMarie, better known as "Miami Girl," to catch Tom Sandoval off guard while he was working at SUR. The bartender was so shaken up to see her in West Hollywood that he and Ariana Madix just walked out of their shifts and went home without telling anyone. When Kristen was reprimanded, she infamously told SUR manager Diana to "suck a d*ck." Nevertheless, this scene was nothing short of iconic. Vanderpump Rules fans are grateful to Kristen for making it happen.

During Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney's joint bachelor/bachelorette party in New Orleans, Tom Sandoval came through with a sentimental gesture. He was originally wearing a "Tom #1" shirt. Then, he took that off to reveal a "Tom #2" shirt and gave a separate "Tom #1 shirt" to Tom Schwartz. He did not permanently give up his self-proclaimed ranking as number one Tom, but he did bestow the honor on his best friend for a night.

Katie was looking forward to some quality time with Schwartz on the cast trip in Mexico. Before the plane even took off, Katie was miffed because Schwartz got upgraded to first class. They immediately started fighting when they got the hotel. It escalated when Schwartz said he hated "the sound of her voice." Eventually, they made up when he filled the hotel room full of candies and brought in a mariachi singer to perform.

Years after they broke up, Jax finally apologized to Stassi for everything that he put her through... in front of his now-wife Brittany Cartwright. He felt like it was better to be late than never apologize. Meanwhile, Brittany just sat there awkwardly as Jax and Stassi cried at a bar in New Orleans.

The SURvers was in Hawaii for Sandoval and Jax's birthday trip, but it was Lala Kent who got down to her birthday suit. Well, her bathing suit bottom and some sunglasses. She caused quite the stir when she insisted on swimming with her top off... in front of the entire cast, who were all in (semi) committed relationships.

Jax swore that exes Kristen and James Kennedy hooked up during the Season 6 Mexico trip because - wait for it - the pillows on the porch were rearranged. That was it. He had no other evidence, but he pushed that theory and pushed the two of them to their limits over the somewhat comical misunderstanding.

Some people might feel awkward about attending an ex's birthday party. Jax isn't one of those people. Season 1, Stassi was on the outs with everyone in the cast, except for Peter Madrigal, after her birthday dinner went awry the night before. Thankfully, she had a whole backup group of friends waiting in the wings for the Las Vegas birthday brunch party. Jax isn't one of those people. In Season 2, Jax brought SEVEN dates to Stassi's birthday booze cruise.

Season 1, Stassi was on the outs with everyone in the cast, except for Peter Madrigal, after her birthday dinner went awry the night before. Thankfully, she had a whole backup group of friends waiting in the wings for Las Vegas birthday brunch.

No one saw it coming when Lala whipped out a baby bottle during the Season 6 Mexico trip. Lala told Scheana Marie that she has a bottle every single night before bed back in California. She wasn't going to break the comforting habit just because she was away from home.

When the Vanderpump Rules ladies visited the Summer House cast in Montauk, Kyle Cooke made an unforgettable first impression on Stassi. He told her that she looked like Steve Jobs (because of her high neck swimsuit) while he (attempted to) hit on her. Total fail, but an amazing TV moment.

Exes crying on vacation is a common occurrence on this show. Sandoval broke down in tears telling Kristen that he "just wanted her to be happy" (and stop bothering Ariana) during the Season 3 Miami trip. She joined in on the cry fest, hoping they would rekindle their flame. However, they were both dating other people and that did not happen.

What happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas, especially on Vanderpump Rules. Schwartz and Sandoval got some interesting tattoos in honor of their significant others. It was a sweet gesture, but not necessarily something to share with your boss, which they did in the back alley of SUR when they returned and reunited with Lisa Vanderpump.

During Stassi's Season 1 birthday party, Schwartz poured a drink on her head in Vegas. For Season 2, he kept the tradition alive, this time pouring a drink on his own girlfriend Katie while they argued outside of a club in Mexico. No, it had nothing to do with her orange hair at the time. Now, the two of them are happily married and Katie has (thankfully) returned to her brunette roots.

Jax stole the show and some sunglasses in Hawaii. After Jax was arrested, the cast scrambled to get $11,000 for bail before they flew back to California. Eventually, Jax had to fly back to Hawaii for a court appearance. He has avoided legal trouble ever since.

The Vanderpump Rules ladies tried to enjoy a wine tour in Solvang. Instead, they listened to Kristen's complaints about James all day. The trip came to a climax when she drunkenly fell down, delivering another iconic Kristen moment.

Kristen, Ariana, and Scheana claimed that Katie and Schwartz's issues stemmed from Schwartz's alleged hookup in Las Vegas years prior. They confronted him about this in New Orleans after a night of partying. Sandoval came to Schwartz's defense, dressed in drag, and he even kicked open a bathroom door for dramatic effect... while Schwartz was on the toilet, no less. No one actually "won" that argument, but the scene will live on in reality TV history.

There have been some legendary vacations on Vanderpump Rules throughout the years, but nothing will ever live up to the group's first trip ever: Stassi's birthday in Las Vegas. Jax crashed the party, hoping to win Stassi back, even though she was dating Frank at the time. This led to all out mayhem. Stassi and Schwartz threw drinks, everyone started cursing, and then the guys took the fight to the parking lot.

Jax took off his instantly iconic chunky sweater to fight Frank in the parking lot, delivering the most heated confrontation of the series. No vacation will ever outshine that fashion moment or that level of drama. Ever.
