Prepare to bump elbows with Carmen Electra, Muhammad Ali, Sean Connery, or the members of Aerosmith at the Alexander All-Suite Oceanfront Resort. This hotel is known for its share of celebrity sightings thanks to the private docks available for their yachts, the option of having meals cooked in their suites, a first-class spa, and a commitment to privacy.You won’t lack for space here – each suite consists of a generous 1,000-1,250 square feet of living space, which is larger than many apartments in New York City. Every suite has a full-sized living and dining room, two bathrooms, and a full kitchen, all meticulously dressed in warm and inviting Caribbean decor. You are guaranteed a room with a view, too. Take your pick of the Intercoastal Waterway or the Atlantic Ocean. The Alexander pitches itself as an oasis of calm in the frenetic world of South Beach’s Art Deco district and the pulsating Miami social scene. It certainly succeeds. (It is, however, close enough to Bal Harbour to offer easy access to the latest creations by Prada, Dior, and more, in the event of a wardrobe malfunction.) Work up an appetite while shopping, and then head for Shula’s Steakhouse. Beefy by nature, Shula’s was created by Don Shula, the former NFL coach known for heading the Miami Dolphins during their 1972 17-0 perfect season (the only unbeaten NFL team to date). If you love steak, this is the place for you. Shula’s serves Certified Angus Beef® and offers a 48 oz. porterhouse steak to anyone who dares. Finish the massive steak and you’ll become part of Don Shula’s 48 oz. club. There are more than 23,000 members – join their ranks and see your name posted along with the others on Shula’s Web site. Shula’s menus are undeniably unique – they are painted on genuine NFL footballs. Although you may feel a bit silly at first, give yourself a moment and the pigskin will start to warm in your hands, as though you, too, could throw a Hail Mary pass and win the game at the end of the fourth quarter. There is more to Shula’s than simply steak, which will be good news for vegetarians. Salads and seafood entrees are as generously sized as the beef entrees, and no less tasty. Appetizers are best shared here – their generous portions make it a Herculean feat to eat one by yourself, in addition to your entree.
