The purpose of the Decadent Ducks is to create a social network for people who like to travel. "Decadent Ducks" is actually a new name for a long-standing but previously nameless group. The owner and operator has been creating event weekends for Southern Decadence for 14 years. It all started when Troy contacted the Group Sales Department of the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel to obtain a discounted rate for a small group of Decadence visitors. That first year we contracted for 10 rooms. In 2009, we had 160 rooms, with over 225 guys. The group rates continue to be significantly lower than regular room rates, and the Omni has proven to be a welcoming and encouraging host for us.
