Best Airports

1. SNA (John Wayne Airport) - not only is this the closest option being 3.1 miles from the venue, but it's also one of the the easiest airports in the country.


2. LGB (Long Beach Airport) - at 19 miles away, this is a quick 20-30 minute Uber to the venue area. We love it because you walk outside to palm trees and a beautifully lit up art deco terminal


3. LAX (Los Angeles Airport) - 38.6 miles away. If SNA or LGB don't work there should be a one way flight into LAX. Although it's a full hour to Orange County, LAX is always reliable. Just prepare a little extra time if you plan to Uber from the airport as you have to take a shuttle or walk pretty far to the Uber location.

Uber vs Rental Car

We HIGHLY recommend renting a car. Ubers will very quickly exceed the daily cost of a rental car unless you're flying in and out within 24 hours.

Our favorite hotels in no particular order

1. Pelican Hill - If you're making this weekend YOUR weekend, stay here. It's the crown jewel of Newport Beach.


2. The Westin South Coast Plaza - In full transparency we've never been here but it seems like a great value and the pool looks insane. It's also located 1 mile from the venue.


3. The Pendry - This swanky Fashion Island staple is always a great choice. Located in a prime location near Corona Del Mar, expect great people watching and late night drinks.


4. VEA - We love the pool and amenities here. From the moment you pull up it feels like you're on vacation. Great for couples and families.
