Again, I will suggest New Orleans, or at least in the southern port of the country. When it's in Cincinnati the plane fare along with the hotel is just WAY to expensive for me... and it's always near Cincinnati, that's why I can never attend.
New Orleans has several casinos (even one that sails in the lake periodically), bourbon Street which is like mardi gras every day, bars that stay open 24/7, swamp tours, aquarium of the Americas, a fantastic zoo, river boat tours on the Mississippi, a water park about an hour away in Baton Rouge, several laser tag places, ghost tours, fantastic food and just... a million things to do. Also, for the American Horror Story fans, I can take you to the LaLaurie house and the house that served as "witch school".
Plus I'm here...lol
