In the United States, spring break refers to the spectacle occurring every spring when academic institutions take a vacation break. Some students use it as an excuse to forget the rules and party all week.
Las Vegas, or Sin City, has something to satisfy every type of spring breaker. With 24/7 partying, go right from the nightclub to the pool party. For those who love the outdoors, the Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon are a short drive away. Spas, fine dining, luxury shopping and the latest shows await those looking for a more relaxing spring break.
Miami Beach always has major events occurring during spring break, such as Ultra Music Festival and Miami Music Week. But, it’s probably the beautiful beaches that attract so many spring breakers.
Cancun offers spring breakers fun and adventure at affordable prices. While here, visit the Mayan archeological site of Chichén Itzá, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Fun and excitement abound at Cancun’s beaches and nightclubs.
Every year, Los Angeles draws many spring breakers to see Santa Monica Pier, Hollywood, the beaches and much more.
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has a reputation as being the party destination for spring break. About 350,000 college students flocked here in the early 1980s for spring break. These unruly students caused so much damage to the city local officials enacted laws controlling parties. Simultaneously, the new National Minimum Drinking Age Act changed Florida’s drinking age to 21. As a result, the number of spring breakers who visit Fort Lauderdale decreased; however, the party has only improved.
Wherever you travel for spring break, think smart and be safe.
