My MOH and i were talking about my Bachelorette party. Originally I told her not to worry about it too much and just do something in the city... but it seems like she's down for a destination bachelorette party for a long weekend. Where do you think is better? Vegas or South Beach? Any other places to consider?

Re: South Beach or Vegas?
I've been to Vegas so many times that I'm personally going with South Beach. I think it's an easier trip for the girls to make, there's no time change and it's just a great time. Vegas is totally fun too so either way you're going to have an amazing time!!!!

Re: South Beach or Vegas?
i was in South Beach in July and it was really nice...Ocean Drive has alot of restaurants and of course there is the beach. Nikki Beach is great and there are tons of hot clubs.
I was in Vegas in August for a bachlorette party, I was there before with the FH but a totally different vibe when its all girls. FYI...if you go make reservations in advance for dinners because its hard to find a place to accomodate alot of people without notice.
I also went to New Orleans in December and I absolutly loved it. Full of history and beautiful architecture. Nights are nuts and like Vegas you can take your drinks on the street.
hope this helps

vegas, trust me been there many times. Great clubs, hotels, pools etc. i suugest bellagio or mandaly bay
Do you know the price ranges for these hotels?
mandalay will have a bit better prices and sometimes you can get a great deal. Bellagio is one of the more expensive hotels. When they booked FH's bachelor party mandalay was doing some special promotion that lasted a week and a 2 bedroom suite was $600 a night, so they got 2 suites BUT now his friend who knows somebody at the bellagio got them 2 connecting suites there for free so he is cancelling his reservations at the mandaly but that was a great deal they got. If you look at their site, you will see they can have good rates
I am going to vegas for bachelorette so thats my pick but either or you'll have a great time. I went to miami twice in about a year and a half so thats why i'd rather do vegas

Vegas!! I love that place - check out The Palms, I stayed there last year with FH and we loved it! Make sure you're in the newer tower though if you go - those rooms are nicer!

Nice! Hopefully we won't spend that much either!

no problem and good luck.
Either way I think you'd have an amazing time. South beach has alot of great clubs and theres lots of restaurants and things to do. Like others have mentioned though some parts of SoBe can be a bit dirty. Ocean drive is real nice and the better part, you start going up just 2 or 3 avenues, drives or whatever and you will see a HUGE difference. For example on washington ave, its a bit dirty. Lots of homeless people on the streets, and just the people in general are sketchy. Not that you have to worry about something happening but just so you know what its like. Last time i went we went to Miami ink and were there for about 4 hours when FH got his tattoo, and its on washington ave, and i remember just seeing everybody that was around there, and we walked all up and down washington ave before that to look for a place to eat.
Also about 15 mins from Miami is coconut grove, which is were we stayed bc we love it there. Its extremely clean and lots of things of restaurants, shops, and bars. Its a small section, and theres one place next to another and just blocks and blocks of GREAT stores to shop at, real good restaurants. Theres bars like senor frogs, fat tuesdays and very lively atmosphere. The bars get packed at night and tons of people on the streets. Even a mall right in the middle that is about 3 floor and its all open space, thats also where fat tuesdays is, its all open.
