Miami Beach Concerts: Modest Mouse at the Fillmore Miami Beach Jackie Gleason Theater

"Ah Me ee me ah MIAMI!" Ok all you travel going beach perusing concert fanatics, heres a good one. Modest Mouse will be in Miami at the wonderful and spectacular Fillmore Miami Beach Jackie Gleason Theater. I found pit tickets for 36 bucks which is not a bad deal and for Modest Mouse the pit is definitely the place to be. The concert is June 23 only a month away so for all you procrastinators (myself included) get on the ball and go have some fun.

Not a huge concert fan? Too short of notice? Well, Jerry Seinfeld will be performing at the Jackie Gleason Theater July 26. "So what's the deal with you not going?" Ok sorry, that was a poor execution of an even worse reference but nevertheless had to be done. You can also check out a full list of upcoming performances here.

So the moral of the story is; if you are looking for a cool get away with some awesome entertainment then don't delay and get yourself to one of the hottest travel destinations, Miami beach.

Now for the tricky part, where to stay? There are of course about a billion places to stay in Miami so I am going to try to find balance between the "neato and the cheapo."

First pick (the neato): "Livin' on the Ritz" The Ritz-Carlton South Beach
This immaculate get-away avg. around $350-$600 a night is set directly on the beach located in the Art Deco district in Miami Beach. The hotel is one block from the pedestrian shopping mall and Lincoln Road. Guests are within one-half mile of the famous Ocean Drive and the Miami Convention Center. The hotel also features a multi-million dollar original art collection featuring established and emerging artists at the Ritz-Carlton South Beach.



Second pick (the cheapo): Special Deal on the Haddon Hall Hotel
If you catch the deal this normally $115 a night stay will knock down to around $70 which is a darn good deal if you ask me. Also well located the Haddon Hall Hotel is located in the Art Deco District about a half-block from the beach and walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and clubs your little heart could desire.




Editor's choice (the in-betweeno): "Ta Da" The Royal Palm South Beach Resort!
Weighing in at around $171 a night (if you catch the specials) The Royal Palm is probably the way to go. This oceanfront hotel in the Art Deco District consists of two restored 1930s Art Deco buildings and two modern towers. The ocean-view Britto Restaurant, open for breakfast and lunch, prepares continental and American fare, while the Sunset Bar serves poolside cocktails and snacks. The hotel provides 6,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space. The hotel's manicured grounds include two outdoor pools, while a half-moon spa tub overlooks the ocean.

Ocean breezes cool the covered outdoor fitness facility. Other on-site recreational amenities include table tennis, an oversized chessboard and a play area. The hotel schedules children's supervised indoor crafts and outdoor activities. Pets are permitted with restrictions. The Royal Palm also occupies an ideal location for shopping and nightclubbing. Lincoln Road boutiques and nightclubs, and the shops along Espanola Way are located one block from the hotel.
