Come February, stressed-out college students’ thoughts start turning toward sun and sand in southern climes. If all you really want is a good pool, a good time, and good value for your money, head for Vegas instead. Spring break in Las Vegas means world-class entertainment, amazing DJs, round-the-clock activities, and the opportunity to meet people from all over the world.

Stay, Sun, Swim

It’s probably not a surprise that the best pools in Las Vegas are attached to the best hotels. It’s also a good bet the average student’s budget won’t stretch that far. Sharing a room with a few friends (keep in mind some hotels won’t let you cram a dozen bodies into one room) will be easier on your wallet. Look for spring break special packages that will stretch your dollar even further—i4vegas is your one-stop shop for all discount Vegas hotels.

Speaking of food…

You’ll want to take some time to eat as you dash between parties.
