    That's not really near the arena (not sure if you know that). There is a Marriott right next to the arena and other named brands very close by like the Hilton.

    Hard Rock is fun for gambling though.

    Is that by the old Orient Road jail? I went to USF and seen to remember buying weed there and in Robles Park.

    Thanks! Will take a cab or Uber. Just didn't want to be TOO early but knowing nothing about the area don't want to mess up.

    The Hard Rock is next to the amphitheater. The arena is in the downtown of the city. I've always felt safe there. They have a strip of restaurants and bars within walking distance of the arena and an aquarium.

    There's not much next to the Hard Rock except for the Hard Rock.

    Sawgrass Mills is there. You'll have plenty to do. Better early than late.

    Oops, wrong city. Yes, you can spend hours at Sawgrass. It's a giant mall.

    I know... I got a rental car, and I travel a lot, so if I can have a reason to NOT stay at a chain hotel, I'm all for it.

    Those of you in Florida for the first few shows might want to note there will be a SpaceX launch on Friday afternoon. These launches are visible across the state.

    For Tampa : anywhere you park downtown you can pick up a bike and ride it to the show .Behind the arena is a riverwalk that goes around downtown so access is easy to the show .

    Cab/Uber. MIA airport is very convenient to downtown, the arena and beaches. It's probably 5-6 miles from the arena. Mass tran would take much longer.
