Florida Unofficial Dress Code

I live up north, but I'm traveling to Florida for business next week.

Up here, it's a bit uncool to wear shorts to a club, but the higher temps in Tampa will tempt me to wear shorts, especially during the late afternoon when I'm free to relax.

Should I go with my gut and wear pants, or can I stop by the hotel and change after my meetings? Or are the clubs air conditioned enough that pants are fine?

Thanks much. I don't discuss much, but I try to post reviews for my local clubs, and when I travel.
