Southern Decadence is Just 1 Day Away!
Hey y’all, it’s Karen Brem here, your go-to for all the fab festivities at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, the crown jewel of queer sleepovers in New Orleans! As the Marketing Director, I’m here to spill the tea on the hottest Labor Day Weekend bash—the one and only Southern Decadence. This year, it’s not just about fabulous parades and flirty fun; it’s about making it a staycation to remember at our inn, with clean, affordable digs and a staff that’s as warm and welcoming as a Southern hug.
This year, we’ve teamed up with the sizzling Phoenix Bar, just a stiletto throw away from our front door. Honey, when I say close, I mean you can strut there and back without breaking a sweat! And because we love our guests as much as we love a good party, we’re offering a jaw-dropping discount to all Phoenix patrons. Just snag that secret code from the bar, and you’ll be sleeping sweetly with us at a price that’s as spicy as a New Orleans jambalaya.
Speaking of spice, let’s talk about what’s hot at the Phoenix Bar this Southern Decadence. We’re kicking off on Wednesday, August 28th, with the CCL Wet Underwear Contest and Oxballs Night—things are gonna get wet and wild, so bring your best assets and show off a little, or a lot! Thursday’s lineup is packed with a Solo Traveler’s Mixer, the Renegade Bears Event, and Nasty Pig Night. It’s the perfect night to mingle and jingle with your fellow solo decadents.
As the weekend heats up, so do our events. Friday welcomes the Lords of Leather with their bubbly Seltzer Social, and Saturday dazzles with the Onyx Seltzer Social—sip, dance, flirt, and sparkle your way through the night. Sunday morning, the Renegade Bears host a “Bear Breakfast,” and the Rougaroux Rugby team keeps the seltzer flowing. Trust me, these burly beginnings are the perfect cure for your Saturday night fever.
And just when you think you can’t take any more, we wrap it up with the ‘Hungover & Broke Bingo’ on Monday, featuring a special guest host whose charisma is as intoxicating as our cocktails. Throughout the week, The Eagle bar opens its doors every night from 9 PM till the wee hours—because darling, no fabulous story ever started with someone eating a salad!
But wait, there’s more! The Historic Mardi Gras Inn isn’t just your typical stay—oh no, we’ve been primping and preening with renovations that’ll make your jaw drop and your heart throb. We’re talking chic comfort that screams ‘get in here and let’s have some fun’! We’re Southern Decadence ready, and we can’t wait to show off our new look to all you gorgeous guests.
So, why am I all up in your grill about booking now? Because, darling, spots are filling up faster than my dance card on a Saturday night! Our inn is the perfect place to kick off your heels (or whatever else you fancy) after a night of revelry. We’re not just offering a room; we’re offering an experience, honey. Clean, affordable, and fabulous—what more could you ask for?
So grab your glitter and your good times, and make your way to us at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn. Between the outrageous events at the Phoenix Bar and our freshly-done-up digs, this Southern Decadence is shaping up to be one for the history books. And remember, book with that secret code from Phoenix Bar to lock down those scandalously low rates.
