public transportation

so I heard of a tram or something which drives all day for 5 bucks or so, but I guess it won't drive all night right? are there any alternatives throughout the night?

what are the general costs for a cab? Im pretty far out at the Days Inn so Im not sure if Im gonna be able to walk back every night though Im very sure that would be the most fun thing to do and to see sh*t happen

sry for these newbie questions, first timer - but hey thats why Im here for right hehe
Thanks in advance :)

there are shuttle cab things going up and down for most of the night hitting the main hotels, they are cheap, i wouldnt worry about it

during the day, never saw a tram, in fact id say the time you are most screwed is during the day if you arent driving

i stay at days inn every year and i just call cabs randomly till i find a driver thats cool as **** then i tip em good and ask for there personal number or there card that way its the same driver every time i call, if your there for a week i promise they learn when its you and hook you up.

usually we were like 4 or 5 deep in cabs and its like 2 or 3 bucks a person.

the shuttels are about the same if i remember




BUT you are right next to hooters and across the street from taco bell, which i love while wasted so it works out perfect for me.

Some ppl work on the alternative spring break thing and they drive vans for free from all of the clubs right back to your hotel/condo. They will give you a number to call and the are pretty cool being that most of the ppl are completly wasted

yeah bnasty, that sounds like a good idea - and its not nearly as expensive as I expected

and these free vans sound nice as well, as long as theyre not a kidnapping van
