CLOSE The Super Bowl is more than just the game, there is a week full of parties to show up in style for
From luxury homes to private jets, here's how you can go big for the big game. USA TODAY CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREATLANTA — Finding the most exclusive, private, star-studded Super Bowl party this week might require venturing into neighborhoods just outside the perimeter of the city into neighborhoods that often double as movie sets these days
Thanks to tax credits and a decade-long infrastructure build, the state of Georgia is now the Hollywood of the South, attracting dozens of movie shoots and popular series like The Walking Dead and Stranger Things
That has created a niche industry around Atlanta of high-end homes being rented out both for filming and to house the stars who come in for a few months at a time and need a space that is both luxurious and private
It has also made it easier for the biggest of big shots to find houses where they can show out for Super Bowl week
One of those homes, in fact, will appear in multiple upcoming television shows, though contractor/designer Burns Century is contractually obligated not to disclose which ones
During Super Bowl week, the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home will be on a different kind of stage — as a base for a celebrity or pro athlete willing to pay $12,800 per night

(Photo: Sandy Hooper)"This house is very unique in Atlanta," said Century, a prominent interior design consultant based in the Atlanta area for 25 years
"It doesn't exist. It's one of a kind, and it's a totally different experience."The three-wing house, which includes four bedrooms and a livable basement, was originally built in 1980 by an apprentice of Wright, one of America's most renowned architects
Century and her partners purchased it as a renovation project with the goal of making the space more modern and balanced while keeping the significant and unique architectural elements that were already in place rather than the typical tear-down replaced by a cookie-cutter McMansion
Blending wood, stone, concrete and light in every space, the feeling throughout the house is both warm and natural, a zen-like experience accentuated by flourishes like a spa bathroom and steam shower in the main bedroom and a great room bookended by an open gas fireplace and a grand piano
Even little things like a USB ports located throughout, a pet shower in the laundry room and a wine gallery stocked with a custom-made blend from Three Sisters Vineyards in north Georgia add to the opulence and the sense that no detail was overlooked
"The interior and architecture and nature all combine," Century said. "You have to be in this home to feel it
"Of course, a house like this is only within reach of the most exclusive clientele
But that's a space Century is familiar with, given that the high-end rental market is now hot in Atlanta even when it's not Super Bowl week
Realtors, in fact, contact her frequently looking for places on behalf of celebrities
"They need something that's private, that's a good location," she said. "It's less than 18 miles to the airport so it's very convenient
You can get to restaurants and shops and everything here so it's super easy. A lot of times people coming from California love this place because it feels like home to them
It's been filmed as a California location so it definitely has that appeal."The market for luxury rentals in Atlanta, though, has has some ups and downs based on the Super Bowl matchup
Prior to championship game weekend, Century said an agreement was already in place to rent the house had the New Orleans Saints beaten the Los Angeles Rams
Likewise, Nate George, who owns Milani Exotic Car Rental, said he had several cancellations when New England made the Super Bowl
Still, he was busy all week fulfilling requests to arrange charter jets and renting out a fleet of cars including a Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Ferraris, all of which can be ready to go when the jet lands at a private airport within the Atlanta city limits
To roll around in that kind of style this week will cost up to $2,300 per day. "We have a high influx of people coming in with athletes, movie stars, your average Joe, pretty much anybody who's trying to come in and flex up for the Super Bowl," said Arraya Marketta, a spokeswoman for the car rental company
