EXCLUSIVE: Jersey Shore Cast Squeezed To Afford Partying In Miami

The Jersey Shore stars are getting a reality check when it comes to the high-priced night life in Miami Beach. You need deep pockets to hang out at the hot spots, and RadarOnline.com has learned that the cash the cast members are spending is their own.
“These guys are dropping easily $400 dollars a night on drinks and I don’t know how long they can keep it up.” a source told RadarOnline.com.
While many assumed that MTV would pay for the party, the network does not. And the Jersey Shore group is finding it financially demanding to hit the town at $12 per drink. The Jersey Shore’s new location of South Beach is one of the most expensive tourist spots in the country.
“The cast feels like boycotting some nights out because of the crazy prices and MTV doesn’t pick up the tab” said a source.
The solution, however, is that the cast sometimes gets drinks comped when they are out. “Certain places send over drinks for free, or provide bottles,” the source told RadarOnline.com.
Without that generosity Season Two would feature a lot more footage of everyone in the house, too broke to go out.
