Lodging: I've learned most South Beach hotels (except the 5 star ones) are pretty roachy. I'd look into places farther north in Miami Beach or in Downtown MIA. You may also want to look into vacation condo rentals. (I hear DT Miami condos are way over built...mostly vacant)
ya i'd be down for a condo if i hopped on with a group of TA's. I have free nights I can use at the Epic hotel(4.5 star) but I dont want to use them up WMC week when all im looking for is a place to crash and sleep. I wouldnt be opposed to staying there after WMC (Sun-wed)since i would probably do a thur-wed or something along those lines.
Oh and Sarah, I have 2 weeks off for spring break. :toocool:
so I'd rather have my 1st week off land WMC week and then i dont have to take off any days off from work and could be out there the entire time.

this past year we had a 2 bedroom condo about 5 blocks from Space......since most of ouyr partying was in that area, it worked out perfectly.....and generally speaking, its about half the cost of what the same sized condo would cost you on the beach......looks like about 1500 for the week this year for most places in DT, less if its a studio type deal

ooooooh... that week might just work for me, have always wanted to check out WMC! I stayed pretty cheap in South Beach once...think it was a Best Western or something, nothing extravagant, but no six-legged guests in the room either. :) I'm sure they'll mark it up 6x for WMC weekend, but will see what I can find out. How long is the drive from FLL to South Beach?

about 30 mins with no traffic

I stayed in the Mimosa from Monday-Monday for $400. Its on 63rd and Collins (about a 5-10 minute drive from SoBe depending on traffic), but the hotel was very nice, luxurious, right on the beach and the staff was great.
It was nice to get away from SoBe at night. I was able to sleep pretty peacefully.

^^^^^^. like the poster above me. i stayed near 63rd and collins and wasnt too far from anything. but we had a rental car. we found our condo on craigslist (vacation rental part) for real cheap. and was a good place. so thats a good place to start too.

be careful about craig's list though, had a friend that rented a condo through someone there last WMC and got screwed out of all his money and still had no place to go, had to rent another place. going through a reputable place might be best. just an fyi :)
last year we got a great deal at La Flora, on south beach, 13th and collins for 4 nights. i just paid $260 and had 3 roommates and it was a big suite with a king size bed and a lounger that worked as a bed.
although sleeping during WMC is merely a suggestion :)

i stayed around 54th and colling 2 years ago.....cheap places, but its so out of the way.....DUI is not something im looking forward to!

I stayed at the Eden Roc Renaissance next door to Fountainbleu (42nd and Collins) last year.
Most bus lines that head north on Collins stay on Collins for a while. I'd recommend hoping on the bus for $2 bucks for anyone staying farther north on Collins.
Speaking of WMC...a friend just spotted me in this video...lol
