BOATER'S PARADISE

Twenty-three miles north of Miami lies the friendly, beach city of Fort Lauderdale with 23 miles of beaches, as well as canals, waterways, resorts, hotels, casinos, museums and more. Long recognized as party city by teenagers and 20-somethings for its budget prices, wide beaches and wild nightlife, the city has worked hard to clean the drunken spring-breakers off of its beaches and replace them with high-end hotels and resorts near the water to attract richer, more subdued visitors.

BOATER'S PARADISE

Twenty-three miles north of Miami lies the friendly, beach city of Fort Lauderdale with 23 miles of beaches, as well as canals, waterways, resorts, hotels, casinos, museums and more. Long recognized as party city by teenagers and 20-somethings for its budget prices, wide beaches and wild nightlife, the city has worked hard to clean the drunken spring-breakers off of its beaches and replace them with high-end hotels and resorts near the water to attract richer, more subdued visitors. And the plan has worked, as Fort Lauderdale now attracts some spring-breakers but also yachters and families as well.

The adjacent town of Hollywood may be Florida's next hotspot, as the debut of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in 2004 brought about a new wave of tourism as well as galleries, clubs and restaurants into the town's redeveloped downtown area. Plus, the prices in Hollywood are cheaper than most other Florida tourist spots, which is sure to attract budget beachgoers.

And while Hollywood may be the next big thing, Fort Lauderdale has held its hotspot reputation since teenagers began flocking here in the swingin' sixties. Known as the Venice of America, the city offers vast opportunities for water lovers to enjoy its miles of beaches, 300 miles of navigable waterways and canals. Actually, the best way to get a taste of Fort Lauderdale is by taking a cruise along its blue waters and see the sights from Port Everglades to the mansions along the New River.

Swimmers will not only get their kicks at the practically riptide free, certified Blue Wave beaches, but also at the International Swimming Hall of Fame. And for those who prefer dry land, Las Olas Boulevard is the place to be as it has various new shops and restaurants as well as an Arts and Entertainment district that turns into the place to be for nightlife, bars and concerts. But no matter what you plan on doing, one of the most important parts of any vacation is finding a nice place to stay at a price that you can afford.

Whether you want to make hotel reservations for a cheap room or a luxurious accommodation, DiscountHotels is sure to have the right room at the right price for you.
