Definitely gotta hit up our stadiums name sake casino while you're there. Even if you don't gamble it's just a top notch facility.
You gotta gamble though....I mean it's blackjack!

That's awesome @SF Dolphin Fan. Here's the info I sent Buff on the area.

Personally, I would stay at Hard Rock casino. It's between Miami and Lauderdale so you can get to a lot of places from there. Book your hotel rooms ASAP. October isn't full blown tourist season but it's a fringe month so they start jacking the rates. The closer it gets the more the rates will spike and as it's past 6 months out, your dates haven't has really been focused on yet (I used to run some luxury hotels).

In Dania Beach (road that Hard Rock Casino is on) there is a restaurant called The Rustic Inn. https://www.rusticinn.com/. It;s been there forever. They have garlic roasted dungeness crabs on the menu. Incredible. Lost of Dolphins photos on the wall of famous Phins going there to eat. Very wharfy atmosphere. Not to be confused in any way for Joe's Stone Crab in the South of Fith section of Miami Beach.

You need to stop by the famous Joe's stone crab in Miami Beach. Have a drink at the bar and an appetizer. Then go do the same at Smith & Wolleenskys which is mentioned below. Dinner at either would be fantastic but they are VERY pricey. Joe's Stone Crab is the place you often see when they are coming back from commercial during the Phins games. It's the most famous restauanrant in South Florida and has been there over 100 years. If you DO want to eat there, give the Maitrè D a $20 and you'll have half of the wait time.

One of my favorite places is a restaurant called Gigi's in Hollywood Beach. Cool spot. Live jazz on the weekends. Great bar and good food. It's right on the intercoastal so you can watch the boats go by. In that same area is a place called LeTub which has one of the best burgers in america. They used to only take cash but they are on the intercoastal as well. Great Florida style hole in the wall. Be warned. The wait staff is not into the whole "being nice to people" and it's one of those spots where you want to order two beers at a time as they take a while but the burger is incredible.

Another great place to go is Houstons in Aventura. Great restaurant, with incredible food, and pretty people. I would also make sure to go for a mojito or 4 at Smith & Wollensky's outside bar. It's on government cut so the cruise ships soar past the table and it's top-notch people watching. You'll need to rob a bank to be able to eat there so I would just go for drinks and then Uber to Perreconi's in Brickel which is to me, the best restaurant in all of South Florida. Italian but great vibe, great bar, just a damned good experience.

You definitely hit a alot of good places, places I have all been to multiple times

Not sure he can fit all that in if going to Orlando first but man what a trip that would be for a visitor. Joes is impossible alot of times. Smiths is a great alternative.
