I am planning to go to Miami with a few friends this summer. How much would someone spend on hotels, food & drink etc… I want to know the average price.
It depends where you’re talking in Miami. If you’re meaning South Beach, the most popular and trendy area (with the famous clubs, etc.) you are likely talking on average between at least $150.00-$200.00 a night for a room, and this is in just a basic hotel. It can be much more expensive. Food and drinks in this area are, as well, very expensive. The tip is automatically added on to every bill in every bar and restaurant, no matter what you order or the size of your group. When I ordered a rye (whiskey) and coke – a single shot – at any bar in SoBe with tip and tax included it came out to almost $15.00 – not a lie. South Beach is a rip-off in that regard.
If you are talking about the city or suburbs of Miami, or even some of the beaches north of Miami Beach, you will likely find much more reasonable prices and your chain/discount hotels. South Beach is interesting to see but very expensive to stay in. Probably a day there is enough if you are trying to watch your money and not go crazy with expenses.
I would think $1,000.
