Default Trip to Myrtle Beach

It's the season for traveling and vacations!!! This year my girlfriend and I are planning a couple get aways, however one in particular that I need some help with is Myrtle Beach.

I've been down to Myrtle Beach once before, however it was 7 years ago and I was with a large (20+) group of people with everything already planned out.

Is anyone here real familiar with the area?
We plan to make the trip down from Virginia Beach on Friday, July 10th and return home on Sunday, July 12th. The only real plans are to have fun, get wild, and drink lots lol.


Can anyone offer any recommendations on good hotels. We don't need the Waldorf Astoria.. but aren't looking for any Motel 6 either. We're figuring around $200/night for the hotel. One HUGE preference though is 24/7 Room Service. We tend to get hungry around 3am after a good night of drinking, lol.

As well, any possible bar/club recommendations? Looking for something fun and wild!


Thanks,
Chad

I heard Myrtle is really enforcing their sound ordinance law. It just gave me another reason to sell my exhaust. I personally haven't been in a long time but I will be going the 19-21st. Go to Broadway at the Beach though. It's a blast there. I hope your car has an alarm system too.

More than likely we'll be taking her car; 2007 Corolla completely minus the door dings!

You're the second person to recommend Broadway at the Beach though; looks like we'll make an effort to get there.

Now I'm actually considering a trip to VA Beach. I haven't been there since I went to wrestling camp there in highschool. Lemme know the difference between the 2 beaches when you get back.

I haven't seen them going after anyone but bikes for noise, and that was only during the bike rallies.

That's understandable because all the do is sit there and rev up. I just heard it as a rumor. Nothing solid.

Everytime I go to Myrtle Beach we always end up at Broadway at the Beach... its always fun. I usually stick to Fat Tuesdays and Senior Frogs since there is no cover. I once paid the $10 or whatever it is to get into their "3 clubs for the price of one" and they really sucked.

For hotels, I have been to the "Dunes Village Resort" and I would recommend it. Its right on the beach, and right down the road from broadway at the beach. The rooms are clean, they have a kitchen, and I have booked them online before for around $100 per night. I have no idea about room service though, sorry.

I can also recommend a really good restaurant if you like steak. There is a brazillian steakhouse called "Rioz"... its awesome, just go and thank me later.

That's my 2 cents on myrtle beach.

My girlfriend is in the Bahama's right now, left on a 7am flight with her family. When she comes back we'll take a look at all the hotels and resorts that you guys recommended... as well try to find some info on the clubs/bars.

I really appreciate everyone's help!

For restaurants we'll definitely give that Rioz place a shot. We did Landry's when we were in Orlando 2 years ago and LOVED it, so we know that Saturday night we're going to try and go there.
