    Not necessarily. If you are living in Florida especially in Miami, you can get to Cancun (flight and hotel) for as cheap as $333. I just did search for 3 day trip in May and I found cheapest hotel del Sol for $333 air plus flight.

    Now, I did same search from Miami to Vegas and I found Hooters Casino hotel for $412 for same dates.

    I used cheaptickets and expedia. I used end of May and beginning of June for search dates. Feel free to look it up yourself.

    If you are living in NYK or CAL somewhere midwest or north then yes fare to Vegas will be cheaper compare to Cancun. It's a distance game buddy.

    And the OP asking the question is from Northern Ireland so I expect Vegas will be more expensive to get to than Cancun / the Caribbean.

    Hotels may be cheaper but afaik there's no such thing as all inclusive in Vegas, and for those that like a drink at their hotel as well as on a night out that will surely get expensive.

    Did you say Sun, Sea and Great Night Life?

    Cabo san Lucas, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. They may not have as many AI's but they have lots of luxury accomodations, gorgeous beaches and great night life.

    Actually poor bars in vegas do offer open bar.. and if yuo use groupons, vegas can be cheaper.. if you play your cards right.. if you are playing in the casino, drinks are free.. get ligquored up, then go to teh night clubs.. Yeah.. there is a cover, but if you play your cards right, you can almost get in free.. vegas is more.. classy then Cancun..but I love Cancun! I've been to Vegas once, before I was 21.. but im about to go there at the end of May! My parents said either Cancun or Vegas, and we decided Vegas!

    Incorrect. They're comparable in price if not cheaper. (My Varadero trip was cheaper than both of my Cancun ones).

    Far far away? You might be able to swim to Cuba from Cancun. Dominican and Cuba are two of the closest countries to Cancun. Not sure how it would take too much longer to get to.

    If you want to try something new ever, I HIGHLY recommend Croatia. Lots of partying, beaches, great food, cheap, and VERY naked friendly. There are a few other good party spots in the mediteranean/adriatic but that is my favorite. I've been to 37 different countries just to gauge when I say it is my favorite the level I am comparing to. Prior to discovering Croatia, my favorite was Indonesia (Bali). Cancun is right up there and closer for us (for now) but we're like you. We like to go to new places and try new things too.

    I notice you are from Ireland...IF you want to go, go before they join the EU. They have a Greece disaster written all over them if they do.

    You guys have mentioned all the places we want to go to! We were just in St Martin and that has many of the Cancun attributes: great beach, nude friendly (Orient Beach) tiny island so you can get everywhere quickly. Half the island is Dutch, and the other half is France. The clubs and casinos are all on the Dutch side and use US dollars, quieter activities on the French side that uses euros. Lots of cancun-like clubs, lots of action. not too far away, with a european flair!

    Trying to find a place like cancun will be tuff, and i havent even been there yet. ive been looking for an awesome place to honeymoon for the last couple of months, looking for the same things, reasonably priced, excellent atmosphere, sweet nightlife and romantic without being stuck on an island in the middle of the pacific, and good weather in december. i found this forum in my travels looking for such a place. looks like cancun is a goer, and would struggle to find anywhere else.

    but enough about me, as for your question. you could try thailand, just dont screw up there, otherwise you'll never get home.

    Aruba is also good, though perhaps a little more expensive, especially the hotels. We have been to both and actually like Aruba a little more than Cancun, but we like both for different reasons. Both have the party nightlife atmosphere, but Aruba is a desert island where the Yucatan is more jungle. So if you are doing any excursions or traveling around on day trips, they are far and away different trips.
