    plenty more in Palm Beach (the island to the east, but either expensive or dumps) and near the Airport (good prices, that's where we're staying)

    been investigating a lot :p

    I'm flying in from Ohio, trying to determine if I need a car. I would rather not have to get a car and fly in to the closest airport then walk to everything if that is possible.

    hello...
    i've been to the cruzan a number of times and i really must say...
    it's not a convenient venue for walking.
    it's really in the middle of nowhere.

    i am going tonite for radiohead and i will take note for those of you who plan on walking there from hotels.

    :)
    will check in later!

    I just booked the West Palm Beach Courtyard hotel for $64 + tax on Priceline. I don't know what kind of area it is in, but it is a good price.

    Question: I was checking out the map link. By the way, thanks for all of your work on this. However, I don't think the location of the Cruzan Amphitheater is correct. I think the Cruzan is located between Highway 80 and Belvedere Road. That flag on this map appears to be north and a bit east of the actual location. Am I wrong?

    As to walking to the venu, I have my doubts about whether that is feasible or not. We got to Florida a lot for vacation - almost yearly, and Florida is really not walker friendly. There are so many turnpikes, express ways, etc. that are not walkable. Of course, I have no personal knowledge of the venue in West Palm Beach. I was planning on getting a hotel as close as possible and then taking a cab. Even then I wonder how many cabs will be available that far out of town. I will have a rental car, but I don't want to drive to the venue or the party. I want to be able to drink freely without worrying about a DUI.

    IMPORTANT!!!!

    the location shown on your map is NOT CORRECT!!

    **the actual location of the CRUZAN Amphitheater is between Belvedere and Southern Blvd... WEST of the Fla Turnpike!!!
    notice on the map where it says South FLa Fairgrounds?? that's where it is!

    Please double check your accomodations!

    I don't live near there (we're in miami) but I promise you,
    it is not walker-friendly....
    it's really in the middle of nowhere, and it will be very hot.

    best to get a ride from one of the friendly folks on the board!!!

    Yup, this is correct.
    There isn't anything walking distance to Cruzan Amphitheater, nothing but road with no sidewalks there is highway on both sides...

    I would definately get a ride no matter where you are staying because there is definately no hotels that are walking distance from Cruzan and if they are walking distance the distance you have to walk will not be very nice specially not at the temperatures we get around June...

    I was just posting something regarding this before I saw your post.. you are absolutely right, FL is not walker friendly no matter where you go, but specially around Cruzan Amphitheater, that venue is in the middle of nowhere.

    Thanks guys...will teach me in trusting Google! :rolleyes: (and yes, NOW they point to that when I search, didn't a month ago..)..I thought it was weird for an ampitheatre to be that central!

    doesn't matter for the hotel, we'll be renting anyway, I thought walking because it looked close and it's easier not to park...but yeah, it's too far to walk (I'd cycle it easily though :p)

    Yeah, that would be nice...... except...... Florida isn't that cycling friendly either. You'd think it would be with all the sun and warm weather. But there are a lot of old people, and although I do not want to bash old people (compared to most of you I am old), as a group they don't seem to have too much concern for cyclists. Passing within inches, pulling out in front of cyclists, turning into the path of oncoming cyclists, etc. Even where they are bike paths, they are somehow turned into turn lanes and passing lanes for cars. Go figure.

    Anyway, can't wait for the show. I still have to book a hotel.

    Can this be accurate?

    Checked with the hotel today, ZERO rooms booked in that block? Whats up?

    It is definitely not walking distance/walking friendly to the ampitheater, nothing really is.

    There is another Hampton Inn, nicer, newer, down 441 South, 561-472-9696, think I'll give them a call....

    ****Done....$139 a night, actual address is on Forest Hill Blvd, 2 blocks from 441 South, right near the Wellington Green Mall, which means restaurants, etc; Much better location IMO. Hope to see you there!
