In a nutshell, if you are 21, you can do all of that (and more) in places like Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, South Padre, Vegas (minus the beach, I suppose), etc, but still be in the US, and not have to put up with all of the bullcrap that comes with being in a foreign tourist trap.
The only reason you could conceivably want to go to Cancun is because you are under 21 or many of your friends are, and you can't do this kind of stuff together back home.
Otherwise, I can't imagine why anyone would choose Cancun over Vegas or even Miami.
But enough about this, I was making mostly a humorous quip. Apologies for thread crapping/hijacking
In fact, I'm going to start a new thread because I am so interested in this topic...
