Ultra and WMC rocks! I've done it 2 years in a row.

1) Cost: Miami is expensive! BOOK EARLY! You could find hotels for $130-$150 a night booking early on in South Beach, and that will change to $280-$350 a month or two before the event.

Club events cover is varied from $30 or so to $150ish (!)for Guetta or other Top 5 DJs. Check wantickets.com. Drinks are expensive ($15 or so depending on the club)! Then again, there are a lot of talented DJs less mainstream DJs available for cheaper. A lot of parties.

Pool Parties! Boat Parties! Beach Parties! These all cost $$$, save for some free sponsored pool parties. Check wantickets.com and theres always a thread on tranceaddict with all the events. Actually, there are probably a lot of first time guides on here too, so I'm probably wasting my time.

2) Depending on the amount of partying you do, you could be there almost all week, for the entire WMC, to the Sunday closing parties.

3) Go see the DJs you want to see. Plan it out loosely before hand. Be sure to check out the Carl Cox tent! Go to afterparties afterword: be aware that if you're going back to your hotel (to change or whatever) leave the festival a little early if you're staying in south beach. Or you could walk to a club on the mainland (Space, Grand Central, lots others) all dirty lol, but make sure you have appropriate club wear.

4) Don't rent a car (made that mistake the first year). Cabs are reasonable, and public transit is available if you're on a budget. BUY EVENT TICKETS IN ADVANCE! I cannot stress this enough. Not only is it cheaper, but you don't wait in line. And lines can be over 2 hours (crazy). If you're doing substances of any kind, do some research/get connections because a LOT of crap floods into Miami at this time.

Do alot of Coke

the only way to win is not go. otherwise you'll be running into people like the ones at the beginning of that video ^ all weekend

thank you for all your responses...the serious ones and the funny ones alike...I will try searching these forums for first time guides as one of you suggested...by the sound of it, this trip could get a little expensive...I'm gonna start saving up from right now...gotta do this!

thank you all again

Just to let you know, the actual Ultra Music Festival has been extended to a 3 day festival next year.

You could go to Miami just for say 3 or 4 days, but I highly recommend staying for a week as there are plenty of other things going on. It's not cheap though, so it would all depend on your budget.
