Myrtle beach VIP card

I was wondering if anyone has purshased the myrtle beach VIP card. It is only 10 dollars per card, but I was wondering if it is really worth it?

Myrtle beach VIP card

from what I have been reading in other posts about that VIP CARD

discounts, you can get the same discounts from picking up pamphlets in the hotels and visiters information .

Some say its worth it other say it isn%26#39;t but 10 dollars isn%26#39;t expensive to pay .

I think it offers certain deals for restarants

I personally thought the VIP card is not worth the $10 (plus shipping - mine cost $11.05 total) because most hotels, restaurants, and stores have coupon books with the same discounts the VIP card provides. My boyfriend and I found that the only time we actually saved money just with the card (and didn%26#39;t find an equivalent coupon) was at Dawn%26#39;s Mystic Center for Massage - we saved $20 off our couples massage package.

Check out www.myrtlebeachvipcard.com for more info and a list of exactly what discounts you can get with the card - just keep in mind that most of the places are also in many of the tourist coupon books.

Don%26#39;t waste your money on the VIP card because you can get the same deals by picking up the ';FREE'; coupon booklets in your hotels office.

It is worth it depending on what you plan to do. If you have children, the Faily Kingdom Deal is good, and if you are into the nightlife seen, one cover charge at Broadway is $10.00, and most all of the clubs are free entry with The VIP card. Who wants to go searching for pamphlets? You can also have the card directly sent to your hotel and it will be at the front desk when you check in. I have done this many times and it is completely legit.

I just think that it%26#39;s easier to pick up a coupon book that you%26#39;ll be walking by anyways, for free, than to spend $10 (plus shipping) to save with the VIP card. Not only do these coupon books have free passes to places such as nightclubs, but cab drivers will also have them.

Go to the website and see if it would benefit YOU to purchase the card. Judge for yourself by the particpating merchants. I have always found for myself, the card is great. I visit MB twice every year in the summer and sometimes in the off season. I would be glad to try and answer any other questions that you may have. Thanks!

Driving Directions

We are drivng from St. Louis MO to Charleston, SC. Can anyone tell us the best route to take? AAA takes us thru Knoxville/Asheville but other routes take us thru Atlanta. Any suggestions?

Driving Directions

My parents drive here from Louisville, Ky, through Knoxville/Asheville. They say it is a pleasant route, and that they really enjoy it. They have been making this trip for many years.

If you have time to stop, Asheville is a beautiful resort area and home to the famous Biltmore Estate and gardens. Look it up in the AAA book if you%26#39;re not already familiar with it.

Driving Directions

We do the I-40 route every year to Seabrook Island. We%26#39;ve done the route thru Atlanta during racing season. This was not fun. Traffic was backed up for miles! Stick with 1-40 especially during the summer.

If you are going during the summer months, the trip across I-40 to Asheville to I-26 to Charleston will probably be the quickest. (Winter can bring snows through the mts. along 40.) As the other posters said, traffic in Atlanta is heavy and may cause delays, especially during rush hour. You shouldn%26#39;t get the same delays through Knoxville, Asheville, Spartanburg, or Columbia.

Southern/Lowcountry Cuisine

I need restaurant ideas for lunch/dinner featuring Southern/Lowcountry Cuisine..I am from NYC so would like to experience ';southern culture';..

Thanks.

Southern/Lowcountry Cuisine

We won%26#39;t have a car so we%26#39;ll be limited to the Charleston area -historic district/ downtown etc.

Southern/Lowcountry Cuisine

Almost every local restaurant in Charleston serves some version of lowcountry cuisine. You can identify the famous ones by looking at any guidebook. Look for references to ';shrimp and grits,'; crab, grouper, local vegetables, etc.

In the past, I loved to take friends from NYC for lunch or dinner at 82 Queen, which is very central in the historic area and located in a charming, old, antique-filled house with a lovely courtyard. (You will see their excellent cookbook - a creative take on fresh, local ingredients and recipes - for sale everywhere.) That said, I had two very disappointing lunch-time experiences there last year and will not go back until I see some rave reviews.

The other problem is that some of the very well-known traditional restaurants fill up and require long waits. Before you commit yourself to standing on line for an hour, get some more reviews to find out if it is worth it. Talk to the people at your hotel desk and just about anyone else you see on the street. Everybody here has opinions about food and will be happy to share them.

82 Queen has great food and is very charming, especially if it%26#39;s not too hot to dine in the courtyard. The crab cakes are great!

Magnolia%26#39;s on East Bay is probably considered ';The'; place to go for Low Country dining. Their shellfood and grits dish is excellent. That%26#39;s typically the place I take out of town guests first, so they can get the ';low country'; experience.

Anson, right off the market on Anson Street, is consistently great. Only open for dinner.

Hominy Grill on Rutledge is good down home southern cooking.

High Cotton, also on East Bay is consistently good for dinner. I haven%26#39;t been as impressed with their lunches.

I haven%26#39;t been, but I%26#39;ve been told that Gullah Cuisine in Mt. Pleasant is a very good restaurant. It%26#39;s on Hwy 17.

As suggested, 82 Queen is always a good choice. I love their Fried Green Tomatoes %26amp; Honey Baked Ham on Focaccia with Creole Aioli and Pepperjack. Add a cup of their she-crab soup and you’ve got the perfect lunch!

For a really great upscale seafood dinner, I recommend Hank’s Seafood at Hayne and Church (just a block north of the Market). They are only open for dinner and if you’re here during high season, I do recommend a reservation. Their she-crab soup is very tasty…they add roe which gives it a little extra something. This is actually my favorite restaurant in town…consistently good food and service.

For a quick lunch or dinner on a budget, try Jestine’s at Meeting %26amp; Wentworth. It’s nothing fancy but they do have killer meatloaf, mac %26amp; cheese and a Coca-Cola Cake that is so good you could just slap your Mama (something has to be good to make you even think about slapping your Mama!!).

Poogan’s Porch on Queen Street (just a few doors from 82 Queen) is a good lunch spot. They have a really tasty fried chicken salad with a honey-jalapeno dressing. Instead of rolls, they serve warm freshly baked biscuits with honey butter…yum yum. They do have a really good pastry chef who just return this Spring from a stint in NYC to perfect her craft and she adds a southern flair to some tradition desserts.

High Cotton is a good spot for dinner and Sunday brunch. Their buttermilk fried oysters with green goddess dressing is to die for…was actually there for a cocktail party last week and it was all I could do not to stand at the table and eat the entire platter!

I’m not a fan of Magnolia’s while it is one of the “places to go” for most visitors. If the food is good, the service is bad and if the service is good the food is bad. It is just consistently inconsistent. Same with Hominy Grill…maybe I’m just missing something but again, I’ve tried it several times and each time I walk away thinking “why?”.

Enjoy your trip!

I don%26#39;t know how i could have forgatten to mention:

Hanks is our favorite dinner spot in Charleston, too. The local seafood is super fresh, and the preparation is delicious. My personal favorite is the grouper, which is one of their signature dishes.

There are often long waits to get into Hanks, but the crowds do not affect the quality of the food, of the service, or of the experience. We have even eaten a complete dinner at the bar one night when the wait was very long. We have never been disappointed at Hanks..

Nice hotel for two adults

Looking for a nice place to stay, just me and my husband. Plan on doing ALOT of golfing and laying by the pool. I would like to be in the Southern end toward Murrells Inlet and on the ocean. Any recommendations?

Nice hotel for two adults

I%26#39;ve heard that the Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort was nice. They have their own golf course. You can stay either on the beach, on the fairway or near the pool areas. They have villas, condos, hotel rooms. It%26#39;s on Pawleys Island

Hello Bergenfield. When are you going down? Im from Sayreville and will be down the 1st two weeks in July and the middle 2 in August.

I also would try the section of Myrtle between 50th and 79th as it is a great central location for both the Northern and Southern courses.Pine Lakes,Grande Dunes, and Myrtlewood are all within 4 miles or less.

You might want to check out the Holiday Inn in Surfside Beach. It%26#39;s right on the ocean and was remodled in 2005. The Tripadvisor reviews (under Surfside Beach) are positive. I hope it%26#39;s a decent place since my husband and I will be staying there July 2-5.

We have stayed at the Hampton Inn Oceanfront on south Myrtle Beach. It is a nice clean place with a free breakfast that pretty good but it%26#39;s hard to get last minute reservations there as they are often booked.

Good luck! Enjoy your trip.

Hi Sayerville,

We going down from Aug. 5 - 11th!

Hampton Inn Oceanfront is fabulous!

Hampton Inn Oceanfront for sure! Beautiful hotel, nice location, friendly staff.

home from Myrtle Beach

Got home last night from Myrtle Beach. Had a WONDERFUL time!!! We stayed at Ocean Creek in the Towers(north, e-6). Very nice ! We went to Barefoot Landing, Broadway at the Beach, Planet Hollywood, and T-Bonz. And of course to all the beach shops. I should warn you of the one shop called ';Eagles'; in North Myrtle Beach. My friend was looking at t-shirts for her daughter and you know how you hold them up to check out the size-she did that and the man working there came over and snatched it out of her hand and took it the counter and refolded it. Needless to say, we left that store!!

The beach was great-the first morning I went out to take a walk, and there was all kinds of coral and little sea urchins everywhere. All the years I%26#39;ve been down there, I don%26#39;t remember seeing those. I figured it must be from the storms.

I am planning on returning again next year!!!

home from Myrtle Beach

Glad you enjoyed your vacation, I hope the coral and urchins are still there when I visit in a couple of weeks, I like to go out first thing in the morning with the flashlight and see what the tide brought in, I especially look for the big shells, hard to find them whole, usually just fragments. I would have been upset by the clerk also, that was rude! I think I would have had to take an armfull of shirts up to the register, let them ring it up, and then suddenly have a change of heart! Nah, just don%26#39;t want %26#39;em. Make sure they knew why I was rejecting the merchandise too! Hey, it%26#39;s only fair. Everyone deserves common courtesy, no customers and they wouldn%26#39;t have a business.

home from Myrtle Beach

How rude!! How do those people expect to stay in business if they treat customers like that? I think I would have intentionally just picked up another one ( or 20!) to ';check the size';. LOL. Better yet, just ';accidentally'; knock over a stack of folded t-shirts or something. I know that sounds mean, but it sounds to me like the clerk deserved to be folding shirts all afternoon!

yugie - I%26#39;m also going to MB in a couple weeks. Actually in 11 days I should be there!
