I don't think an hour would make that much of a difference, we aren't New Orleans or South Beach so there isn't really any need to have laws that facilitate party-tourism. It's not even about the die hards I think, it would be more about the option to go out later, like arrive later.
Some people want to show up at 9 or 10pm lets say, and some others might want to show up at midnight perhaps. To further the discussion, if I am not mistaken I believe the ordinances on drinking are imposed by the county rather than the city?
In any case adding on an additional 2 hours of drinking would certainly help the revenues that are generated by the very lucrative DUI enforcement business. I find laws like these, as well as the laws prohibiting purchasing alcohol after certain hours or before certain hours on Sunday, to be silly.
They don't affect me much, but they are a huge infringement on the rights of businessowners to sell their products. There is no logical explaination behind these laws, in my opinion. Open the clubs, bars and anything else for 24 hours for all I care. I'll sleep just as good at night if they are open or closed.
We don't have that problem in New Orleans, our clubs close at 7am. If people wanna get their drink on, they can take their drink outside and stroll through the Quarter, and the police won't say nada.
I think in Orlando, it's a way to tell people that it's time to go. The club owners need to rest just like everyone else. I go downtown often, but I never drink. There are some clubs that stop serving at 2AM, but stay open until Usually people start filing out of those at about 2AM anyway.
I think they would make more money if they were allowed to serve until 3AM or 4AM. The best reason I've heard to let them stay open longer is so that people don't feel the need to binge drink. Don't know if that would work, but it makes sense.
I've gone out in other cities and found that it's really not so bad that we close at 2AM. I was in shock.
The same thing pretty much happened people started filing out at about 3AM and the club was pretty dead afterwards. Like another poster said only the hardcore people would stay out really late. I think people can only take so much partying in one night.
I'm glad to say I'm not one of them. Orlando used to be THE place to go in Florida for a good club atmosphere. Blame Glenda the Wicked Witch of Orlando for making life miserable for the yuppies downtown Bulldogger, that is very well put!
I too used to work in the service industry bartender in Boston and I had the same problem. I always felt cheated. Did I always stay out to 4am, well no.
But, I knew if I wanted to have dinner at 9pm and then head to a different part of town to have a drink or two with friends 11pm and then go to a club to dance am and then head to another "late" club 2am I'd be A-OK. Well, until the next morning but that is what Taco Bell and College football is all about! We already have a really concentrated and popular nightlife scene - let's let the business owners capitalize on it.
