edit: thanks for the help, booked for EPIC hotel ...looks sick as #!*!!

 and got a nice room! wife and I will definately enjoy the hotel  and amenities

we'll just take a cab to SOBE for a day or 2...should be fine and only costs around 20 bucks to get there ..

NOW ..tips on where to eat!!

Stay at the 4 seasons. My gym is at the 4 seasons and it is by far my favorite hotel. The pool is amazing, and the service is fantastic.
