Information: New Orleans is known for the biggest, wildest and best party in the country, Mardi Gras! Years ago, friends of ours that live in New Orleans invited us to Mardi Gras. We live in Las Vegas and New Orleans put Las Vegas to shame. Vegas does not deserve to be called "Sin City!" New Orleans wins the title hands down.

Once you experience Mardi Gras you will do as we have and return year after year. Each year we invite more of our Lifestyle friends to party with us during Mardi Gras. The group has grown and more return each year. For 2007 we have taken over an entire hotel.

Sixty Six rooms for Couples and a limited number of Singles in the Lifestyle that want to experience the biggest and wildest party of the year! Centrally located in the heart of the French Quarter, this historic hotel was remodeled three years ago and offers the elegance and charm of a fine French Quarter residence just 1/2 block from Bourbon Street. Michael and Vicki visited New Orleans on May 12 and 13, 2006 to give us a update on New Orleans.

Mardi Gras Survival Guide Wear comfortable walking shoes. Open-toed shoes and high heels are definitely not recommended! You will spend a lot of time walking and standing while out and about in the French Quarter. DO NOT wear your new $120 sneakers--they will age three years in three days! Bring the old, beat-up pair that you wear to do yard work--your shoes will be covered with funk and will smell to high heaven by the end of the week--trust us on this one! We usually throw our sneakers in the trash can at the end of the week when we are packing to go home! It's easier to sacrifice an old pair of shoes than it is to have them get everything else in our luggage dirty and stinky. Mardi Gras is a seven day party. Pace yourself! Try to take it a bit easy and get plenty of rest during the beginning of the week. From Friday on through Tuesday the French Quarter will be an around the clock non-stop party! There is alcohol everywhere in the French Quarter.

There are beer stands every 10 feet and daiquiri shops on every corner. We are all at this party to have fun, but be careful not to overdo it! Mardi Gras is not nearly as much fun if you spend it passed out, puking or having hangover that lasts all day. Public Restrooms are hard to come by in the French Quarter during Mardi Gras. Many businesses reserve their restrooms for customers only (yes, they often require that you show a receipt before you can go in!). Many other places actually charge people to use their facilities. Remember that the amount of alcohol you consume is directly correlated with the number of times you must relieve yourself! :)

DO NOT pee on the street!

This is the quickest way to end up in jail for the duration of your stay in New Orleans! The New Orleans Police are known for being the very best in the world when it comes to crowd-control. Respect them and listen to them if they ask you to do or stop doing something. Keep in mind that the court system is CLOSED during Mardi Gras. If you get arrested, you are in jail until your case is heard somewhere around the Thursday after Fat Tuesday! Staying out of jail is not hard, just use common sense.

Things that can get you instantly locked up are: " Urinating in public. " Flashing a penis anywhere on the street or balcony. " Engaging in sexual activity in public. " Carrying any glass container on Bourbon Street " Smoking pot in public. " Fighting, even if you are defending yourself - it does not matter - you're going to jail. "

Causing any type of mass disturbance that can provoke a crowd to flee or fight. Be aware that along with the mass crowds of partiers, Mardi Gras also has its share of pick-pockets and thieves. Leave your expensive jewelry at home or in your hotel room! Ladies, don't even think about trying to carry a purse! Keep your money and your ID in your front pockets. Use a fanny pack and keep it towards the front part of your body. After dark, travel in groups and stick with the crowds. Stick to the busier streets. In all the years that we have attended Mardi Gras we have never had a problem, but why invite trouble? Parking is a rare thing in the French Quarter.

What little parking there is available is usually quite expensive. Don't bother renting a car at the airport, you wont need it! Everything you could possibly want or need is within walking distance of the hotel. The weather in New Orleans during Mardi Gras can change completely in a matter of hours. Lows can run as low as the 40s and highs up to the 80s, but usually the temperatures fall somewhere in between. Be prepared, pack for both warm and cool weather. If you don't like the weather, wait a couple of hours. It is always changing in New Orleans!
