Last year I think I spent around $450 for 6 nights and I thought I spent at will. i didn't really watch my spending or anything. You should be OK with 400 or so.

There are a couple of factors to consider.

1. Are you under 21?

2. Will you be drinking?

If you're under 21...unless you get a gold card...count on spending on average $25 to get into the clubs each night. You should be safe if you budget at least $25/night for cover charges.

If you're drinking...you will obviously need a lot more money. But even if you don't bring a lot of money for alcohol...people are more than willing to share. That's one of the best parts of spring break. Everyone's friendly...they'll share ANY thing.

For me...I don't drink...so I'm only bringing about $250 for about 4 nights.

Well im 23 and ive only been to springbreak one time and then it wasnt that fun because my friends sucked and dont know how to party so most of the time we was at the hotel.I tried to get them to go to the clubs but they wouldnt.They stayed on the strip most of the time and that was ok.This year they are going for only two nights so i said **** them and im staying two nights with them then two nights by myself.Ill be there 19- 24 and hope to have a badass time.

I think that is enough cash if you get drunk in the hotel before going to the clubs. Don't buy girls drinks because they will get them free from others. They will go home with anyone after they are drunk enough and it doesn't matter who bought the drinks for them!!!

Playboi,

If you're under 21, the only place you'll have a problem drinking is in the club. You should be fine drinking at your hotel and on the beach. The sheriffs won't approach you unless you are causing trouble. So as long as you aren't doing anything too stupid you'll be fine.

I'm stayin at the Chateau from Feb 28 - March 6. I'd advise you to just buy your beer down there unless you can get some huge deal at home or something. It's very expensive down there if you go to the right place. That place is Walmart. That's where everyone picks up the essentials. A lot of people call it Club Walmart 'cause it's like all spring breakers in that place. If you're comin from the Boardwalk, you'll take a right onto Front Beach rd and it's on the left. If you're comin from the strip you'll just follow Front Beach Rd around the bend(left) and it will be on your left. If you have any more questions let me know or you can email me at STEVE_4078@hotmail.com
