Mardi Gras...Any Suggestions?

Attending Mardi Gras has always been on my Bucket List. If I were to get a wild hair and hop in the car Sun. or Mon., can anyone offer me any useful advice as to a) where to stay, although I suspect everything is booked at this point, and b) the best parades to catch.

I suspect I'll get a lot of "you waited too long" replies, but thanks in advance for anything useful.

Well, you can jump in the car and drive... and hope for the best getting a hotel near NOLA. My suggestion would be for next year... plan a trip with you and your buddies (or solo if you prefer). Stay close to the quarter (the Holiday Inn on Royal was always cheap)... and enjoy yourself next year...
For Mardi Gras I always go to Joes Crab Shack.
