I know the Paddock likes to party. I'm taking someone to Mardi Gras next year, and neither of us has ever been.
I found on one website suggesting to book your room by Sept.
Found on another the parade schedule. Looks like over 60 parades the last week and a half, but almost none in the French Quarter, many in Uptown, and some in surrounding towns.
Looking like going to be $400/nt to stay near French Quarter, which I assume is where you want to be (?).
I'm leaning towards being there the Sunday and Monday before Fat Tuesday, to fit into the rest of our travel plans. But maybe I have to adjust the other parts if not being there Tuesday is missing the point of going.
Any advice would be appreciated!!!
