Biloxi

It’s a short drive and cheap hotel rooms. Eat some good food, watch some super regional games in a sports book, hang on the beach, watch a Biloxi shuckers baseball game,

Nothing worth a damn is cheap there.

Like others mentioned, get a place across from the beach near the Flora Bama and party

I did a 2 day with my kids to watch Astros over Memorial Day (traveling from BR). Hotel, food, fuel, and game tickets for 4 set us back less than $700.

But, back in my younger days (early 30s), I had a blast going over to Point Clear and staying in the big hotel out on the corner of the bay. They had legit cuisine, good golf, and a great view of the Gulf. Of course, that was just before Katrina, et al., so YMMV.

Find a MLB team that has a home series and book a hotel near the stadium. Beer, pretzels, and ball. You would also be amazed at the amount of single ladies that frequent these games. Look for the ones keeping their own scorebook.

The doubletree in Biloxi is a damn nice hotel across from the beach and rooms there are going for about $160 if you book weeknights

Last time I checked flights to Denver were crazy cheap. Fly there, watch a Rockies game, get super high.

You can fly round trip to Miami for +$200 if you don't mind slumming it on Frontier.

Isn’t this the plot of a Justin Timberlake movie?
