Anyone else but me (and my buddy here) staying at the Tampa Hard Rock hotel? We are there Monday night.
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.
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.

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.
I'm getting more excited!!! taking the day off work to drive down early Friday morning and check out the Sawgrass Mall..never been there and it will be part of my birthday present.

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 .
I'm flying into MIA on the day of the show. What's the easiest/quickest/cheapest to get downtown? Staying near the show. Thanks.

I think it's like other beaches - don't bring glass bottles and you should be fine.

If you have time and want better beaches either head north to Jupiter(1hr) or head south a bit to the upper keys.Key Largo,Islemorada.Here is a link to great park for snorkeling ,boating ,etc.
To get back to the arena, you would just take Hillsboro Avenue back west. Take a left of US 1.Go about 3/4 mile south to SE 10th, make a right, and the take SE 10th all the way to the Sawgrass Expressway which takes you directly the BB&T Center for the Sunrise/FLL show.
Also if you are out in Deerfield, check out some great eats at:

Hollywood beach is not as busy and the West Coast seems to be more laid back.
I'd stick to South Beach or Ft Lauderdale if I was visiting. Locals go to those beaches too.
