internet has killed Mardi Gras really... you'll notice lots of creepy old guys with cameras, but it is fun. You'll never see so many people on a tiny street in your life. catch a parade (or several, there are many different ones) before hitting the french quarter, they are actually really cool. I would say that unless you are really drinkers the 8th-14th is too long in New Orleans.
I would try to catch a NBA game for something to do.
Other advice... even though it is free entry, don't waste your time at big daddy's strip club unless you really want to slum it.
