What slams/ATPs and stages would you recommend after RG and Wimbledon?

This year I attended semi finals- male and finale- both female and male of RG and Wimbledon- the men finale.
I don't know if I should call it a season or try Paris/Turin when the weather is bad or wait out till clay (and Rafa) season. Right now here it's 15 degrees and raining all the time and I know in November it can only get worse. What tournaments next year? I remember someone saying Rome and Barcelona for Rafa but now I just want a great tennis and I'm not counting on Rafa because if he withdraws from Barcelona I'd be mad.
Do you recommend overpaying for hospitality and the better view? (if money would not an issue)?
Would you recommend early mid or final stages?

Monte Carlo
Indian Wells
Rome

That's my "bucket list".

I would personally try to attend late round matches, when (most likely) top players compete against each other and the crowds are the most "involved".

Spectacular setting + top players + enthusiastic crowd = top shelf experience (top $ spent)

Thank you. By late round you mean 1/8, 1/4 semis or final? I went to RG final against advice but was pleased because I witnessed history and celebrations.
If you were me, would you save the money this year and waited for the outdoorsy tournaments? (November is chilly and rainy) Nitto ATP Finals sound great but in front of TV

Up what stage of Monte Carlo? late round matches mean 1/4 1/2 or finals and seats?

I've been to Indian Wells every year since 2007, and I'd highly recommend it. I live about 125 miles away, so it's a two or two-and-a-half hour drive, which isn't hard. Having to travel there is much harder.
