Hello! I was thnking about doing a last minute trip to Miami/South Beach. ' going with best friend, he is coming to the east coast (from HI) so we thought we'd go hang out for a long weekend. Just need to get away a blow off some steam.
Looking for a hotels & resturants right in the "thick" of things. Is the nightlife obvious or are there specific places you may reccomend?

dates 2/22 - 2/26, avg.budget, 30 something, thanks, E

What is the "average" budget in South Beach in February? $500 a day for hotel?

yeah..money is not the determining factor, location, fun, convenience, etc.... anyone have suggestions?

The South Beach Wine and Food Festival is going on at that time. Many things are already sold out. You might have a tough time finding a hotel room. http://www.sobewineandfoodfest.com/2007/index.php

Hi again. yeah I found out last week about the food festival...but decieded to go anyway.
Is the Hotel Astor totally horrible? The reviews here were very bad.

Thanks, E
