Did a quick check on hotels through our hotel listings, where you can check on availability for many of the hotels, and found that most of them are already booked for the peak days of Mardi Gras, especially the weekends.

If you're wanting to stay in the quarter during Mardi Gras, you're going to have to hurry like crazy to get a room... otherwise, check in the Warehouse District... it's close and has its own restaurants, bars, and shops.
