Im Staying At Sandpiper Which Is About 7 Miles From All The Action. Is The Traffic Really Bad And Is There Any Bars Close To There? Also Do You Think The Club La Vela Cards Are Worth Getting I Heard They Were Around $125?

The Sandpiper is very from everything, and the traffic on the strip does really suck especially at night. They do have their own tiki bar there which I've heard is pretty cool. As for the LaVela cards, they are only worth it if you are gonna go there a lot. If you are planning on driving down there all the time, then it's worth it, otherwise I wouldn't waste my money. I'm sure you'll spend a couple nights at the tiki bar. I usually get the Panamaniac card for $40 instead of the LaVela card. That way you experience a few different bars, and if you don't end up using it much, you're not out a bunch of money.

I stayed at the sandpiper for sb04. i am coming back this year, and i will be staying at the sandpiper again. it's far away from the majority of stuff, but it was a blast. the drunk bus rides to get downtown were so much fun. a bunch of my stories happened on the bus. sandpiper was a great place to stay esp if you're into having some room on the beach to play football and actually swim without being bombarded by trash. the tiki bar was a great place to pre-game before heading to the clubs. they have a lot of specials for its hotel residents. 2 nights we didn't even go downtown bc the tiki bar was too much fun to leave.
