Night life.. no question South FL has some of the best nightlife in the world. If you can imagine it, you can do it..
Thanks!

She did, however, put up a legendary performance Super Bowl weekend in South Florida.

Speaking of which, we may have to move our tack to Tampa this year for the Super Bowl weekend simply based on economics with the SB being in Miami.

You must have been really lucky to win the @the races box more than once.

That sums it up pretty well. There are very, very few locations at Gulfstream from which you can watch an entire race live and actually see the runners. Possibly the worst design in all of racing, certainly of any I have racetracks I have visited.
I guess that isn't a big factor to me. Even if I am on the rail at Saratoga I am watching the backstretch on the big screen and waiting for the excitement of the stretch run. At Gulfstream I can do the same thing.

After looking over the Stakes schedule I'm going to book the second weekend of the meet at Gulfstream.

I was looking at hotels on priceline - are there any areas I want to target and avoid? Also, Gulfstream's website lists these hotels: http://www.gulfstreampark.com/Footer...nformation.htm has anyone stayed at them?

Thanks for any and all help, I don't know the area at all!

Ideally, but promimity to the track and safeness has first priority.

Anywhere north of GP is fine.

I'd look on the beach ( A1A ) anywhere south of Oakland Pk. Blvd, to north of Hallandale Beach Blvd

This one is 1 mile from GP

In the unlikely event that I can get out of bed early enough - can you watch workouts at Gulfstream?

The only thing between GP and that Hampton Inn is a Steak N Shake.

What more do you need to know?

I'll probably just go with something like a Marriott that I find on Priceline as close to the beach as possible.

Any interesting and not crazy expensive non-chain restaurants?
