So the Jints and Jets both choked in the post – does that mean you have no interest in partying in Miami over Super Bowl weekend (Feb 1-5) now? Awwww – did the waaaahmbulance run over your dolly, you girl?
Snap out of it. This is freakin’ Super Bowl. The biggest party on the planet. And, after having temporarily lost its way (Detroit, sure, but not in the dead of winter, man) it’s back in the hottest party city around.
There are still a few places around town to land a room. But the price of admission this late in the fourth quarter? Let’s just say you probably need an NFL contract to afford it (and maybe an NFL-sized concussion to agree to such an obvious scam).
If you are still looking for tickets, G-d help you. But you might try the folks at Premiere Sports Travel, which says it still has packages from $4,635 that include accommodations and game day transfers. The folks at The Big Game Rooms say they still have packages from $4,999/pp based on double occupancy at hotels that are mostly nothing special.
If that’s all a bit dear, hotel rooms are a little easier – even if the prices look v. New York-on-a-bad-day.
1) You can get what should be a $150/night room at the Catalina Hotel for $950/night. Talk about scalping. They’re requiring a 4-night minimum stay. But you’ll have access to the hotel’s superbowl party where, allegedly, you’ll be surrounded by models (could be Maxim models, could be Cat Fancy models, they don’t specify), plenty of beers in the mini fridge, and flat screen TVs.
2) So you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, did ya. How much smarter can you really claim to be when you paid $476/night to do so for a double room at Miami’s airport? Oh yeah, it’s the Super Bowl. We keep forgetting. Totally worth it.
4) Not to be out done, La Quinta Inn Miami Airport East (not to be confused with the Airport North property) has rooms over Super Bowl Weekend for under $400 (a dollar under, to be exact). Hey, they have high speed internet to *cough* bet on the game *cough*.
5) It’s not all horrible, though — the Best Western Chateaubleau in Coral Gables is a lot nicer than most of the above, and, good news: they’re only charging $360/night for a double. At least they were 10 minutes ago when we checked. Who knows, anymore.
