There are parking "lots" near the clubs, right? Since I'll be commuting from Ft. Lauderdale the first couple of nights, I'll be driving myself. Last time I was down for WMC, we were able to park reasonably close to the clubs for $20. Safe to say there will be a similar situation?

yep. those lots are always there.

Great, thanks again Pat. Wasn't sure if they had redone those areas.

Awesome post Pat, thanks for refreshing it for 2010. This will be our (our being me and my wife, mother is law is coming in town to watch the boys woot) second time down - last was in 2002 at Bayfront - so we're excited to celebrate our 10th anniversary immersed in trance for 4 days.

We're staying down in Brickell about 2 blocks from the Metro Mover so it should make getting two and from the events and our hotel (with the so little time we'll actually be there) much easier thanks to your information.

I'll have to make sure to break some change for getting from the Airport down there but it looks like the 150 will save us at least $20-30 over a taxi.

Any idea what the hours are for the Metro Mover?

Awesome - I don't see us leaving any of the after parties until 7am anyways so that works out just nicely

Man, flying into Ft. Lauderdale is gonna be an ass wipe of a mission.

Thinking of doing the train from FLL to MIA and taking a taxi from there.

But also gonna try out Mikey's suggestion of http://goairportshuttle.com/

Wish me luck.

Not sure if this was posted earlier, but I just found it today:

TRIP PLANNER:

just put in beginning and ending address, then it will give you a map with the route highlighted and detailed directions (including walking) from point A to Point B! Hope it helps someone else.

its in the guide. right below the metro mover map.

i need to move things around next year to make it easier to identify each section. bigger fonts, different colors.

Thanks Flo for all your help with this guide.

My experience with public transport here is that it runs pretty well until about 8pm, depending on route. In the evening, buses run on a slower frequency and can be considerably off schedule. I waited almost an hour for the Airport Flyer into SoBe around 9pm, and was there at least 10 mins early. Route C is supposed to run every half hour, but while eating at a restaurant on Washington Friday night, I saw one go by at 8:28pm and the next at 8:35pm. Went to the stop 15 minutes later, and waited just short of an hour until a #120 came, which also went to the Omni station.

Of course, there's always taking a taxi as an option, but there's also that feeling that the bus must be coming any minute after waiting so long, and is 1/10 the price of a taxi. When going from SoBe to downtown, my recommendation is to take a bus when it's scheduled to run at least 3x per hour over to Bayside Marketplace. Then you can have dinner/drinks for an hour before taking the Metro Mover or taxi to the club. That's a more enjoyable hour than sitting at a stop on Washington Blvd. watching the bums go by.

i took the c bus one night on friday to go to space
all i have to say is i though the nyc transit system was bad....

people on the bus just looked like they just got out of rehab
they were argueing over their w.i.c food stamps and shit
it was deff sad
but the funniest moment was when some crackhead gets on and goes to the bus driver "yo i dont got no fare, all i got is a container of potato salad you want to buy it?" the bus driver told him just forget it and get on

the c bus was runing like every 15 min on friday night, but then on sat night when i wanted to take it again me and my friends waited like 30 min and there was no bus in site so we just took a cab
