    FYI - I used priceline and got a room at the Radisson in Center City for $70 a night when it is regular $250. Never been to Philly, but it looks like its close to transportation, pubs, etc.

    thanks for all the tips folks. im prety sure imma use'em and stay in the city centre (tourist purposes).

    question. how much would a cab be to the venue from downtown? would that be a dumb move? im cool with the subway in general, but cabbing is easy and brain dead and safe, esp if im solo. though hopefully ill meet up with some peeps and do the subway.

    thoughts?
    mike

    Just do the subway, but a cab will probably run you about $8-15 - somewhere around there. Subway's only $2 one way. Or if you split with other people and get tokens it's cheaper.

    is the subway close to the airport hotels? or am i stuck w/ cabs?

    What did you bid? $70 for a 3.5 star hotel?

    $30 per night for parking :o Is that generally what I should expect to pay in that area?

    The Radisson on 17th is a nice hotel in a great location. You're right in Rittenhouse Square, a lot of shops, restaurants and bars. There is an old guy that bar tends at Tavern 17 that is hysterical. If you don't mind spending a few bucks for dinner, Alma de Cuba, Tequila's or Devon all come highly recommended and are within a very short walking distance. :)

    2 questions......
    What time do the bars close in Philly?
    Is there a cheaper option to park downtown -- my hotel wants to charge me $42 to park.

    Leads one to believe that it could have possibly been had cheaper. I anticipate that once we get final word on a potential 3rd show and everyone starts booking rooms, we'll see some great Priceline deals and a hotel or two filled with 10C members just like the Hyatt in Chicago.

    I'm surprised more people aren't going with the Holiday Inn at the venue. $120, free parking, no cab fair, no worries..

    Bars close at 2am with a few exceptions.

    $42 for overnight parking is a bit steep. You can probably find a non-hotel lot in the $20-$30 range for 24 hours.

    No subway from airport, but there are SEPTA trains that run every half hour. Might cost around $8-$10 each way to Center City. MAybe takes about 25 minutes and drops you off at a couple train stations in town. Suburban Station is in Center City and short walk to Broad St subway line to go to venue.

    Rittenhouse Square is really nice and Alma De Cuba is expensive but worth every penny. There's some really great bars you should check out in Old City too...(Lucys, Drinkers, The Kyhber... just some of my faves)

    Are the airport hotels any good? Like the Rennisance I think it is, I'm sure the guys are probably staying in the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton

    I just booked the Radisson for $70 per night on Priceline. Thanks!

    May have been able to get it for less, but saving just a few dollars wasn't worth the risk to me of getting something different.

    That's not how Priceline works. Read up on it in the future before using that type of justification to bid more.
