Help Me Plan My Vacation
I have decided to take the week leading up to Labor Day weekend off, for some sort of vacation. My friend Susan is going with some family to Biloxi in the middle of that week and has invited me to come along, and since a) there is a poker tournament that week and b) I have a million free hotel and airfare offers for the Beau Rivage anyhow, I've decided I will probably spend at least a few days down there. I also want to go visit a friend who moved to New Orleans a few months ago. And I need to satisfy my beach craving with a couple days on a beach somewhere. Can all of these things be combined into one 10 day journey? Also, a part of me just wants to fly to Vegas for Labor Day weekend. And my parents have been begging me to come up and spend a long weekend with them in the mountains.
Suggestions welcome, in particular as to beaches along the gulf coast that aren't befouled with oil and that have nice beachfront hotels.

I hear that the whole Grayton Beach, Seaside, Seagrove, and Rosemary Beach are pristine...
Thanks. One of the secretaries here just got back from Destin and she said the beaches were oil-free there, too. But apparently tourism is way down because everyone assumes all the FL beaches are covered in oil. That made me want to try and help out the local economy down there somewhere by visiting for at least a couple days.
(Random but funny: my word verification is "unclen")
I just realized the New Orleans folks will be here in Atlanta for Labor Day weekend for Dragon*Con. So that probably kills any plan of including NOLA in this trip. So now I'll probably just go somewhere in FL for the first half of the week, then to Biloxi, then come back to Atlanta and possibly swing up to my parents' house. Or fly to Vegas for 3 days...
You can't go wrong with Vegas. I love Vegas.
