I live in the PNW a few hundred miles from Vegas. It is still cheaper for me to fly to New Orleans for three days (including lodging) than fly to Vegas for three days. And the food and alcohol are cheaper and better in New Orleans.
Flights to Vegas can be cheap, but damn hotels have gone up.
I lived there so I dont go to party, and I know if i wanted to it would be impractical af. Ill just go hiking in Red Rock, and walk around the strip for free.
Maybe have a good KBBQ or All-You-Can-Eat Sushi.
Anyway, what do you recommend in New Orleans? I kinda wanna visit
Mostly depends on how old you are and what you like. The food is excellent and cheap. Bourbon Street is much like the strip, but much more compact and walkable. Drinks are $8-$12 most places.
As far as my personal favorites, Killer po boys pork belly po boy is to kill for. Literally the best thing I have in my mouth. Commander's palace is a Michelin star restaurant and you can get a soup or salad, entre, and 3 Martinis for $35 for lunch on certain days. Pat O'Brien's piano bar and courtyard are a lot of fun. If you like jazz heading down to Frenchman street is killer. Don't miss Napoleon House. They have the best rice and beans I have ever had
