Florida Town Named No. 1 for the Best Nightlife in the U.S.
There’s something vibrant and exciting about being in a city with great nightlife. Who doesn’t like the feeling that something is always happening, no matter the hour? One Florida hotspot has been named the No. 1 best city in America for a great nightlife, according to experts. So, if you’re looking for a place to head to at night and party into the early morning hours, pack your bags and try this place.
Florida Town Has the Best Nightlife in the Country
The experts at VacationCluster.com have put together a list of the best cities in America for a great, fun nightlife scene. “From one end of the country to the other, USA has places where you can definitely enjoy a great night with food, drinks and dancing and a lot more,” they state.
So, which Florida city is No. 1 in the nation for the best nightlife? It’s the exciting Miami Beach. It’s not a surprise that Miami Beach made the cut, because it’s known for it’s vibrant nightlife. But, it’s pretty cool to see this city above places like New York City and Los Angeles. “When it comes to night life, this place has some of the world’s best club scenes with full of well-dressed boys and girls,” VacationCluster.com states. But, they add that, “you need to dress well and have a lot of money in order to have a respectful entry.”
Just below Miami Beach at No. 2 is the great Las Vegas, Nevada. I’ve always thought of Las Vegas as the city that’s up all night and partying constantly, so it makes sense that it would be so high on the list. I’m surprised it’s not No. 1, though. The site notes that Las Vegas isn’t just about gambling anymore. There are all kinds of things to do in the city, from theater shows to concerts to dancing and night clubs. “If you’re lucky, you might even bump into a celebrity playing cards on your table or enjoying a drink at the bar,” they note. Also making the top five on the tally were New York City at No. 3, New Orleans at No. 4 and Chicago at No. 5. I was just in Chicago a few weeks ago, and it definitely has a vibrant night scene. There are tons of great restaurants, bars and clubs open late, so I agree it’s a fun spot for nightlife.
Secret Tips to Save Money on Your Next Vacation
1. Try to Negotiate Your Lodging
Did you know that hotel fees can be negotiable? Fidelity.com points out that, “You may be able to negotiate the online price by calling a hotel directly, or asking if they have any discounts for students, government employees, or members of certain groups, such as AAA.” So, don’t settle for that price you see on your laptop. Try to do better. It’s a secret tip that can pay off bigtime.

2. Get Smart with Your Lodging
Did you know some hotels that are virtually the same, including the same brand, can be cheaper just a few miles apart? As a general rule, hotels that are near the airport are more expensive. So, you can look at the hotels you want to stay at and their multiple locations in the area for the best rate. “Some hotels that are under construction may rent rooms at a discount, which is a great option if you can deal with the noise,” Fidelity.com points out.

3. Snack Your Way to a Cheaper Trip
Going out to eat on vacation can be one of the most exciting things about the trip. But, if you want to save on cash, skip a few meals out and opt for healthy, hearty snacks. Pack (or buy at a local store) some protein-rich snacks, like protein bars and meal bars, and limit your dining out. You can still enjoy some of the best food the area has to offer, just not as much of it. This is a way to stay fit on your trip, too. A lot of people don’t think of this tip, so it’s a bit of a secret.

4. Timing is Everything
You’ve heard it so many times in life: Timing is everything. That’s true for travel, too. Research to find the least-busy times to visit your destination. If you travel during those downtimes, you’ll save big. While this is a common tip, something people forget is that every vacation destination has its own peak time. So, be specific for your travel spot.

5. Travel with a Friend
If you’re thinking of traveling solo to a place you’ve always wanted to visit, go cheaper by traveling with a friend. You two can share lodging fees. Also, sometimes there are more deals and discounts for those traveling with multiple people. I always do this when going to a big music festival, if it’s far away. I’ll usually meet my friend there, and we share lodging costs. It also makes the trip more fun.

6. Find Free Spots to Travel
Look for some free attractions in your travel area. Chances are, they won’t be as packed as the big-named places, too. You can still visit some of the popular landmarks. But, if you add a trip to a national park or free museum to your itinerary, it will save you some cash.

7. Max Out Your Memberships
Are you a member of any random groups? You might have travel deals just waiting for you. Check everything, from your college alumni membership to your credit cards, for travel discounts. You may be surprised what you find.

8. Don't Get Picky
Say you just want to get out on a fantastic trip, but you don’t really have a place in mind. That’s actually a good thing. Take an hour to look at flight specials happening right now. If you aren’t picky on where to travel, chances are you’ll find a great rate on airfare and lodging somewhere. Once you find the most reasonable place to travel, then you can start looking at what to do when you’re there.

9. Go Popular
This is a bit ironic, but often times, the most popular tourist destinations are also the cheapest. That’s because there is a lot of competition for all those travelers. So, big-named destinations like Orlando, Florida, or Las Vegas, Nevada, tend to have really good travel deals. Go popular, or go home.
