Icon6 First time To PCB Got a Few questions about money, hotels, parties, girls?

Whats up everyone I am 21 and this is the first time I will be attending Spring Break In PCB from March 8-12th. I was wondering exactly how much spending money I should bring? Also I am going with 4 of my friends here from Tennessee and a few from Cali and we were just wondering where the good parties are gonna be? We have a condo at the Twin Palms Resort, I dunno if that is a good or bad thing but it was last minute for me to go so Im not complaining. I am just ready to cut loose get drunk with the boys and hit on some gorgeous girls! and if anybody wants to party with us then hit me up! Thanks for the help!

I'd actually like to know this too, on how much money to bring? I am seriously just considering using my debit card and carrying very little cash on me, it decreases the chances of being robbed.

Take plenty of cash - you'll be glad you did and so will everyone else in line behind you.

Debit card is fine for Walmart, Restaurants, etc.

But when you're at the clubs, you'll have to pay for each drink individually - they most likely won't let you open a tab. And it gets very hectic at some of the bars... cash is def better. Plus, I think you'll need cash for cover charges, too.

Just don't carry all your cash with you... ration it out each day/night.
(you'll end up at the ATM anyway... always happens when alcohol's involved... but, beware... some of the ATMs in the clubs and on the beach charge as much as $5 fee).

Expect to spend a good 50 dollars a night at least on liquor alone at bars/clubs.

Yea, I drop a solid 40-50 myself on a regular night. I'd expect to drop double in this case.

I should have added this to my tips thread:

Food: Most resorts in PCB have kitchens and kitchenette..... have everyone in your group chip in some money and buy your food from Wal-mart about $20 each for a group of 6 or more.

Beer/Liquor (on beach): Expect to buy about two cases a day or if your not a beer drinker a bottle a day per group.

Beer/Liquor (at the clubs): Last year I did a lot of club hoping and spent on average about $75-80 a night. (some nights you will not make it out and will just want to chill or just cruise the strip, so you can save money then) Also, they do let you start a tab, however unless you want to stand around for an hour waiting to close that tab I would not recommend it and it is like $8 to use the ATM's in the clubs, so carry about $100 in cash for entry fee's (from $5-10 before 9pm to $20-40 after 9pm) and drinks. (guys bring $200 a night for entry fee's and all the drinks your gonna buy the girls that you think are going to come back with you, but then say thank you for all those drinks give you a kiss on the cheek and then go home with the 200 pound football player that looks like Brad Pitt...) lol

Misc: you will need money for scooters ($50 a pop), Waffle house ($8 a pop), beads ($5 a pop), gas (one fill up of about $20), hotel deposit (usually $200, one time refundable deposit), and one case of beer ($15) for the Boardwalk Beach Party on Monday the 12th.

Thats all I can think of right now, but if you have any other questions feel free to send me a private message.

Joe

well me and my roomy are bringing 600 a piece.... not including his credit card and not to mention we get paid (direct deposit) the second day we're down there..... so i think 1200 plus our checks are good enough to blow :)

bcnya12 will become famous soon enough
hey i am bringing 400 to start out with. but the reason im not bringing so much is that we already have bought the panamaniac card and the spinnaker vip card so i wont really have to pay a whole lot for anything except the pub crawl... it saves A LOT of money on covers!
