If you’re heading to Miami, chances are you will be hitting some of the hottest, most exclusive clubs in the world. So after you land at Miami International Airport, pick up your car hire, head to the hotel, squeeze in a nap, eat, it’ll be time to get the party started! Before you hit those clubs, here are some helpful tips on enjoying Miami’s club scene to the max.
Get to know the lines. Getting into some of Miami’s most exclusive night clubs is harder than you think. Catering largely to A-List celebs, athletes, and the rich and powerful, at times getting into your club of choice can be challenging. First, know that doors open at 10:30pm which is considered early in “Miami time”. Although you may think getting there before 10:30pm will help, think again. In fact, there’s always the chance the burly bouncer won’t even let you in. Sorry, just being honest. A tip for the true party person, stay at the hotel of one of the clubs you’ve been dying to attend. Get to know the concierge, meaning tip them well, as they are often privy to special hotel promotions for guests.
Splurge on Table Service. If you want guaranteed admission into a club and have a small fortune to drop, your best option is reserving table service. This is also ideal if you have a large group or are celebrating a special occasion. To book table service, call the club directly and do it way ahead of time. They will give you a quote on the VIP experience which typically includes bottles of top shelf liquor, a very attentive wait staff, a designated table in a roped-off area, and guaranteed admission into the club with your name at the top of list. Make sure to tip your server and host especially if you wish to come back.
Obey the Dress Codes. Miami’s exclusive club scene means that dressing to the nines is a must. And why wouldn’t you want to look your best in case you run into your favorite A-List celebrity? Not to mention, if your outfit doesn’t cut it, you’re not getting through the door. Here’s what you need to know for appropriate club styling and remember the rule, it’s best to overdress. For men, some clubs will allow jeans and sneakers, but some will not. To be safe, dapper up and wear your dress shoes, slacks, and dress shirt. And for the women, there’s no slacking on your glitz and glamour in Miami ladies! Work those stilettos and your best party dress. You will be highly uncomfortable, but isn’t it worth it? This is your time to shine and look your most fabulous!
Now that you are informed on the do’s and don’ts of the Miami Club Scene, let’s figure out where to go. You will barely skim the surface of night clubs during your stay (even if it means you don’t sleep). However, there’s a few that are a must including LIV and Arkadia at the Fountainbleau, Mansion, Mokai, Wall, Space, and FDR. All of which keep the party going with amazing entertainment, DJs, and the best in what the Miami Club scene has to offer.
Since you will be spending a pretty penny on clubs, hotels, and tips, make up for it by using E-Z Rent-A-Car cheap car hire services. This will also give you an opportunity to take a ride and experience what this beautiful tropical city has to offer. And then you can put the money you saved towards more important things, like table service. Enjoy!
