How Much Money Should I Save For A Trip To New Orleans?

I'm From Florida, Me and A friend are driving to new orleans for about 5 days, it takes 8 hours to drive there...how much should we save for like hotels, food, gas, fun etc???

We used about $100 in gas (to drive a little less than you did); you might want to make it $120-150 just to be safe (with rising gas prices). I'm not sure how much hotels run in New Orleans, but I'm pretty sure they're expensive. Try this website to see what works best for you:

Food in the French Quarter is also pretty expensive. It's also usually rainy and HOT (so you'll want LOTS to drink). And of course, you'll want to take tours and stuff. All together, I'd save at LEAST a couple thousand, just to make sure everything is covered. Take a credit card also, just in case something happens (flat tire, etc.).

Have fun, be safe (STICK TOGETHER!!) and enjoy! I love New Orleans; the city itself is disgusting, but the culture is so amazing!

well I would guess you will need
Gas: $80 +/-
Hotel: you can usually find a fairly nice hotel from $90-140 a night (maybe less with Internet specials)
Food: meals can run about $10 each meal on up
entertainment: I would try to budget $30 +/- a day if you can (you can easily spend more)
Alcohol: $endless

It really depends on how you want to travel but hopefully this helps. Have fun.

the same as if you were going to any tourist area in Fla.

it all depends if you stay at the Hyatt or the holiday inn.

eat burgers or steaks?

buy t shirts or blue dawg prints?

is fun to you drinking $10 drinks on the patio or eating
$4 plates of sugar covered donuts?

you can spend a little or a lot.

fun is hard to put a $ on.

riding the street car is fun to me but some ppl

would rather sit in the sun on a park bench so

it's all a matter of choice.
