Area with clubs a couple snubbed possibly in Mexican resort (8)
I believe the answer is:
acapulco
'mexican resort' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'area with clubs a couple snubbed possibly' is the wordplay.
'area with' becomes 'a' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'snubbed' means to remove the last letter (could historically mean cutting the end off).
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'couple' with its last letter taken away is 'coupl'.
'coupl' with letters rearranged gives 'pulco'.
'a'+'c'+'a'+'pulco'='ACAPULCO'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for acapulco that I've seen before include "Mexican location" , "Mexican Pacific port" , "Mexico port, resort" , "Mexican city" , "foreign resort" .)
