The Clay is always a good bet (stayed there 3 times for WMC), but I need a change. I was almost going to stay at the Chelsea but didn't seem comfortable for 4 people. (I justed checked their prices and they are high). The Mondrian also had a deal but is also highh (again, I think only good for 2 people).

Wait a bit for the specials to start coming out if the prices are high.

I might look into a condo this year if I have enough people.

On the other hand, if accomadation is too high, I may just not go.

As far as flights, the Virgin sale didn't discount anything for SFO-FLL. It was 249 each way! Again, I don't think March is being discounted yet, so I would wait until it is.

Also the Orbitz deal is not what you think...you only get the refund if someone else books the exact same itinerary through orbitz at a lower price. Just because Virgin lowers the fare and it shows up on oribtz search, doesn't mean you will actually get a refund!

yea 66th is way up there.....but for that price, 148 bucks, why the hell not? LOL!!!

hmm good point, i will look at booking one ways then since it seems like many airlines dont discount for doing a roundtrip.

i dont know miami, but i saw collins was a street mentioned by ta's. guess 6600 is no good and something in the 1000's would be fine(the beachcomber) If a hotel at $150 is going to cost $20 cab each way to get to where you want to be, then may as well just get the $200 room in the middle of the madness.


Thanks for listing some hotels by name so i can get an idea of the "ideal" location.

anything from like 5th to 24th is ideal......all within walking distance....and even ocean dr or washington........from 66th u can take a bus for 2 bucks....taxi ride will be about 10 each way......something like that......i stayed at 54th 2 years ago, i had a car, but to downtown the taxi ride was about 15 then

just found a sweet deal for a condo....650 for a 1 bedroom!

As noted, watch out for the South Beach "art deco" hotels etc. Many are roach motels with bad bugs and a lingering odor.

Lemme know if anyone finds a good deal on a 2 or 3 bedroom condo that wants to subrent a room. lol
