anyone ever been to Miami Beach? Advice PLZ

Sure but bed bugs can get be found on all types of furniture - including in wood.

Actually quick search says it isn't uncommon to find them in carpet during the day.

I heard one 'expert' (he was an executive at an extermination company so I guess he qualifies) say on the radio that if there's any doubt at whatever hotel he's staying at, he leaves his luggage in the bath tub during the day.  Bedbugs can get just about anywhere else in the room, but they can't climb porcelain.

That's a good idea.  I just figured that if all of my clothes are in my zipped up travel bag, I should be ok.  Also, I kind of quarantine them when I get home, keeping them in the bag till I do laundry, at which point I dump them directly into the washer.  I guess the little fuckers may not necessarily drown, though.

Another option - don't go to ghetto motels?

[Caliga]

I don't.

But apparently even nice places have bedbugs sometimes.

Nobody is immune. New York's Waldorf-Astoria had a lawsuit a couple years ago over having them.

I know a guy who's worked as head accountant for one of Vienna's bigger hotels. He said that there's little you can do against bugs. You can clean out the affected rooms as best you can, but the next guests could unknowingly bring more of the same in their luggage.

Although its 15 to 20 blocks north of "south beach" you simply cannot beat the remodeled fountainbleau hotel for ambience or old school style. If you go ask for a room high up in the south tower with a south east exposure -- youll almost be able to see the turks and caicos to the east and definitely will see all of miami to the south

skip joes stone crab...its an overpriced tourist trap

instead go to porcao for dinner...its the best brazillian steak house in north america and it has the best (quantitatively and qualitatively) latin beaver in miami

That hotel looks awesome but it's maybe $50 more than I want to spend... only going to be there one night remember.  If I was going for a week I'd definitely consider it though.

Wouldn't it then be $350 more than you want to spend? 

[Caliga]

My point is that I'm only going to be there a single night, so I'm not as concerned with a high quality hotel as I would be if I had to endure it for an entire week.

[Caliga]

So I'm going to be in Miami next week.

spiess, help a nigga out: good Cuban restaurants in Miami Beach?

Cuban restaurants aren't my forte, sorry.  I'm all about the Argie restaurants when I'm down there.  I should probably branch out.

We actually have an Argentine restaurant here in Louisville.  It is delicious.

Caliga knows, cause when he goes there he nibbles on the furnishings and licks the wall hangings.
