So a friend of mine is getting married and we thought a trip down to Florida would be a fun place to have spend a few days for a bachelor party. Right now we’re looking at either Key West or Ft. Lauderdale. We’re aged early 30s to early 50s. In other words we want access to a golf course; bars, etc. There might be a strip joint in the mix, but honestly it would surprise me a little bit if we went that direction. The preferred place is Key West, but the hotels we were looking at in Key west for Late Feb are running over $300 / night. Coming back to Ft. Lauderdale saves $200 on air fair which is significant; and i’m betting there are cheaper hotels options; more golfing options, at least as many bar options. So my primary question is “What do you guys know about Ft Lauderdale that would helpful info for me?” Question2: What other suggestions can you give me related to the above info? ---

We have bars, hotels, tons of golf courses…Fire away, and I’ll help with what I can. I also attended a friend’s bachelor party in Key West. We didn’t do any strip clubs - mostly fishing in the morning, scuba diving in the afternoon, and drinking in the evening. We rented out a house for the three or four days. ---

The decision was made without my input after all. Key West it is. We’re renting a presidential suite at one of the nicer hotels. We have golf and drinking lined up; not sure what else. ---

Have fun! Key West can be a blast…or very relaxing. It’s an odd city. In a good way.
