New Orleans
The Big Easy is a prime destination for those seeking epic nightlife mixed with Southern comfort food. While airfare can be a bit expensive, hotel and vacation rental deals are available – especially if you stay a bit removed from the action of the French Quarter. Check the calendar to see when Mardi Gras occurs and try to plan your vacation around it. The popular event, which sometimes takes place during spring break season in early March, often causes airfare and lodging expenses to increase.
South Padre Island
With hotels offering nightly rates around $150 or less and DJs and celebrities holding court at nightclubs, South Padre Island, Texas, is a hot spring break destination. What’s more, this South Texas locale is only about 30 miles north of the Mexican border, meaning you’ll get plenty of sunshine without having to leave the country. Average spring daytime temperatures range from the low 70s to the low 80s.
