So, what are you waiting for? Here is a list that will explain five popular places for spring breakers to escape to for a memorable break away from school and all your responsibilities!

1. Las Vegas

Okay, so Vegas isn’t necessarily the tropical destination everyone imagines for a spring break, but it still has a lot to offer. Las Vegas is like the college experience on steroids. You have the educational aspect with all the museums, the insanely high debt aspect with all the casinos, and the true night life experience with all the clubs around. And if you want to get the complete Vegas experience find that special someone and walk into a chapel to elope. Most importantly though, never forget the slogan, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”

 

2. Los Angeles  

LA offers a variety of activities to do over your break and there is also a chance you will spot someone famous while doing them! As soon as you “hop” off the plane you will be singing Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus, without a doubt. This jam will be the theme of your entire trip. A couple things to do in Los Angeles are visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame, walk the Santa Monica Pier and hike one of the many beautiful trails the area has to offer. From beaches to shopping to dining, you will never run out of things to do in this happening place.
