There's no event quite like a Super Bowl. Hotels will be packed up and down the Florida east coast and even on the Florida southwest coast for the 2010 Super Bowl at Dolphin Stadium in Miami. If you are planning to root for your team at the Miami Super Bowl, here are some tips to make your Miami Super Bowl experience unforgettable.

1-Super Bowl XLIV (44) will be played at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, just north of downtown Miami. Super Bowl hotels will book fast, beginning with the popular Art Deco hotels on South Beach/Miami Beach. North Miami and Fort Lauderdale hotel rooms for the Super Bowl are also popular, as are Coconut Grove and Coral Gables hotels. Many 2010 Super Bowl hotels in the Miami area will require deposits, multiple-day stays, and will not allow for cancellations.

2-The weather for Super Bowl 44 in Miami could be warm and balmy or cold and blustery. If you are traveling to Miami to stay at a hotel for Super Bowl XLIV, be sure to bring sunscreen, shorts and a short-sleeve shirt, as well as a warm coat and gloves. If it's warm and balmy, you can leave your warm coat in your hotel room for the Super Bowl. If usually-balmy Miami has a February cold snap during Super Bowl Week, you'll be happy for your warm coat and gloves as you enjoy the evening game at Dolphin Stadium.

3-Security at Dolphin Stadium will be strict, so it is best to leave your backpacks, coolers, thermoses and umbrellas in your Super Bowl hotel room. Cans, glass bottles, frozen water or soda, alcoholic beverages and any plastic liquid container with the seal broken will be confiscated. You will also want to leave your valuables in the safe in your hotel room. Super Bowl Week draws pickpockets as well as sports fans.

4-Transportation to Dolphin Stadium from hotels for Super Bowl XLIV will be plentiful, but parking will be restricted. Dolphin Stadium is located in the city of Miami Gardens: 16 miles northwest of Downtown Miami; 18 miles southwest of Fort Lauderdale; 1 mile south of Miami-Dade/Broward County line. No parking is available for recreational vehicles in NFL controlled lots surrounding Dolphin Stadium. Game ticketed individuals parking at Dolphin Stadium must purchase parking permits. All clients on buses, limousines or private cars must ride in their vehicle to their designated parking space and return to that location to depart after the Super Bowl XLIV game. Many Miami Super Bowl hotels will offer access to busses or shuttles to the big game.

5-During Miami Super Bowl Week, there will be plenty of special events to enjoy, as well as Miami's many sports attractions. Within a few minutes of your Super Bowl hotel room, you can take a fishing charter or rent a sailboat at one of Miami's many marinas. Take an exciting airboat ride through the Florida Everglades. Or enjoy one of the numerous beautiful golf courses. The concierge at your Super Bowl hotel will be happy to make recommendations, give you directions, and assist with arrangements.

6-While you are in town, your Miami Super Bowl hotel room is just minutes away from one of Miami's sports bars, like Mr. Moe's Restaurant and Bar in Coconut Grove, Shula's Steak 2 Don Shula's Hotel in Miami Lakes or the aptly named Hooligan's Pub & Oyster Bar on Dixie Highway.

7-You cannot leave your Miami Super Bowl hotel without a trip to one of Miami's famous beaches. If you are lucky enough to get a hotel room for the Super Bowl on South Beach, you can enjoy miles of picturesque beaches, the famous boardwalk, and plenty of people watching. Even if your Super Bowl hotel is in South Miami or Fort Lauderdale, you can still enjoy a world-famous beach, just minutes from your hotel room. Super Bowl Week or not, the beaches in the Miami area are not to be missed.

No matter where your Miami Super Bowl hotel room, you can enjoy plenty of beaches, sun and fun, on top of a great matchup for Super Bowl XLIV. Check out http://www.super-bowl-hotel-rooms.com/ for great hotel deals for Super Bowl 2010 XLIV.
