I'm thinking maybe they are referring to Panama City, Panama which has many five star hotels and beaches as they are on the Pacific Ocean. Here is a link from Wikipedia.

No, I think FBB meant PCB- I'm sure the Maxim resort will just feature more "upscale" wet t-shirt contests (as in your t-shirt needs to be designer) and the guests will be funneling martinis instead of beer.
:funn:
You may be right, I missed the lack of Beach in the name. This isn't the first time this has happened to me. I showed up at a gate at Hartsfield in ATL onetime for a flight to Panama City Florida and noticed that everyone around me was in the Army or was Hispanic (or both) and finally realized that they were going to the 'other' Panama City, a bit further south.
Luckily I figured it out before I tried to board.
This exact thought goes thru my head every spring when I see those Spring Break from Aruba (or wherever) Shows on MTV.
What the hey?? Talk about setting your kids up for some false expectations.
What are they going to do when they graduate and find that once Mommy and Daddy aren't footing the bill anymore life can be a bit tougher?
Oh yeah............. -they go back for a graduate degree.

I wouldn't know this for sure futurebeachbum. Was just a thought. But I do not know this for sure. But then again, I would not think they could afford any 5 star hotel in Panama City, Panama. And I wouldn't know if Panama City, Panama is considered a spring break destination. The parents of course would be footing the bill. Now, in PC Beach, the places are much cheaper and from what I have heard several spring breakers stay in one room, more than there are beds for of course.
One reason Panama City Beach may be emptier is that the Bay County Commissioners just dissolved the current Tourist Development Council.
This came after TDC Executive Director Bob Warren was fired by the rest of the board in a "spontaneous" vote during a budget meeting. It was not on the meeting agenda.
Warren had wanted less emphasis placed on Spring Break. Warren had recently been told by Charlie Hilton that he needed to "pack his [expletive] bags".
Four of the TDC directors are either employed by the Hilton Corporation or have tenant businesses with the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort, a Hilton property that caters to....Spring Breakers.
The only TDC member to vote against the firing was Bay County Commissioner Mike Thomas, who later made the motion to dissolve the board he himself serves on. He deserves a medal.
