It's Time to Party!

2009 is right around the corner, but if you're looking to end 2008 with a bang then look no further than a holiday getaway to Myrtle Beach and the FOUR NIGHT LONG New Year's bash at 2001. 

The party kicks off on Wednesday, New Year's Eve with a spectacular New Year's Eve party and continues through the weekend with parties on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  There will be plenty of live music, DJ's spinning party music, great drink deals and LOADS of fun. 

Tickets cost $50 per person at the door, but guests of Ocean Creek Resort are offered a VIP rate for $30 per person.  For more information, please contact our entertainment department at 877-844-3800.

PS....Our favorite guy, Santa Claus, made it into South Carolina last night shortly after 11 pm EST and was spotted just south of us in Charleston.  Some of us tried to wait up to catch a glimpse, but it seems that we missed him again this year....we hope that you had better luck than we did!

Sam's Club gas price

After a long year for everyone's pocketbooks, there seems to be at least a glimmer of light through all of the craziness in the economy.....it's affordable to drive again.  While we still wish that the price at the pumps fell relative to the price of oil nearly as fast as they rose, we are rejoicing that it is finally possible to fill a normal gas tank for under $40.


We have been fortunate in Myrtle Beach for gas prices to be low relative to the national average throughout the crisis, and we are thrilled that South Carolina's gas prices are currently the 7th lowest in the nation.  We took a handful of snapshots of some fuel prices over the past couple of days and you see the lowest and highest prices that we found in our short drive.  The member clubs, Sam's Club and Costco not surprisingly came in lowest and well.....we won't name the highest culprit.

Costco of Myrtle Beach Gas Prices

The best news through all of this for all of our friends who stay with us is that many of our special offers have reflected the state of the prices at the pumps and the economy at large, so in many cases even in spite of the rising gas prices, many folks have been able to spend less to get to Myrtle Beach and stay with us in 2008 for less than it cost in 2007.  And this is a great time to head to the beach with our room rates being at their most affordable point all year long.
