4-500 bucks is enough if you got a credit card...id say use the cash to get you into bars/clubs and little things throughout the day...food/bar tab etc etc should go on the card

The more money you bring, the more you will spend...trust me.You can get a little carried away especially under the influence (e.g. buying everyone drinks the whole night).

Be conservative and realistic.

you can buy pre paid credit cards at wal mart. You hand them cash for a X amount. I don't know what the max amount is. Or how much extra each card cost. But you could look into buying a couple.

I am not a big fan of carrying cash around. So these can be useful if you don't own a debit or credit card.

Best bet is to get a nice little buzz going before you go out. I think most beers will cost you around $3.50. Mixed drinks anywhere between 3-10 in most places.

I go out I spend between 20-35 (With vip prices) And that gets me nice and drunk. I don't think SB prices are that much higher.

Cover prices is where most clubs/bars get you. Best bet is to pick a place, go early and get your hands stamped. As cover goes up. If you are 21+ you can leave and come as you want.

not sure about england but i know here I can go into a bank and get a credit/debit card that you can put money on and use it in the country of your choice.

This way you get to use a credit card in the U.S with the money you have put on it but dont need to pay fees everytime you use it.
