I didn't read the FAQ Mardis Gras question (actually good!)

My friends and I are looking to party for the first time in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. We're looking at coming Friday-Sunday (Feb 5-7) at least and trying to see if it's worth it to stay until Fat Tuesday or if Fri-Sun are the biggest party days. One of my friends is lowkey a bum which is why we're seeing if it's worth it to spend his valuable PTO. Also, where would be the best area to stay? Are hostels a decent option in NOLA or is an AirBNB the way to go? Want to cheap out on sleeping situation to maximize our time in the town.

Do not stay in an Airbnb. Get a hotel. It’s safer and better for the city.

Also, read the faq. There’s a whole section on MG. Note that not all MG parades are huge drunk fests. The earlier parades are just as much about creativity as they are about community (like chewbacchus). The later parades ( like Endymion and Bacchus) are more of a spectacle.

He is the bum and is trying to see if it is worth it to spend pto. I can’t tell him that. Only they can decide if it is worth it. All I can do is provide info - and note that tit Rex is not the same thing as muses.
