Should I go to Mardi Gras or Vegas for my 21st birthday?
I turn 21 on February 23rd. I was planning on going to Vegas with my sister and another friend but I have a couple of friends who go to college in NOLA and another good friend who is going down for Mardi Gras during the same time. Should I go to Vegas or NOLA for Mardi Gras?
I love Vegas (and so do all of the above people) but if you are turning 21 and have friends that are going to NOLA, then that'd be my choice. You can go to Vegas anytime.... Both are mid 60's in February which is not exactly pool weather in Vegas. If you feel the urge to gamble, there is a Harrah's in NOLA too. Enjoy!
