MANSION
It's the ultimate house party and it's our pleasure to introduce you to the new Mansion 360. The 40,000 square foot Miami mega-club was recently redesigned from floor to ceiling with unprecedented lighting and sound systems and an edgy new façade. The city of Miami Beach even declared Saturday, January 21st "Mansion Day" as the club reopened its doors to kick off a two day electro-fest deemed "Deadmau5 unhooked."
True to the new 360 concept, the DJ booth has been relocated to the center, promising guests a great performance no matter where they are on the dancefloor. Mansion goes beyond simple bottle service with the new VIP scene, complete with a full private bar with ample tables and seating, all in the shadow of world-renown DJs.
Although it's not yet December 31st, the countdown has already begun. The days are rapidly disappearing as you try to decide what to wear, where to go and who to celebrate with. We can't pick your clothes or your friends, but we can tell you where the hottest parties will be happening in Miami this New Year's Eve. (Click on venue name for more info and to reserve tickets + tables.)
Fontainebleau 4441 Collins Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33140-3227 The Fontainebleau is one of the most posh and popular party spots in Miami so naturally have booked some top talent for their NYE poolside bash. Swedish DJ Axwell, part of the Swedish House Mafia, will deliver an unforgettable, exclusive mix of house, electro and club music to welcome the New Year. The party lasts from 7PM to 2AM with premium open bar from 9-12. Tickets: general admission starts at $325 with private cabanas and stage-side tables costing five figures. Or, take the party inside to Fontainebleau's ulta-club LIV where Busta Rhymes and Sebastian Ingrosso will be helping you celebrate the new year. This is one of the most expensive and exclusive parties in Miami with general admission starting at $575 which includes admission and premium open bar from 9PM - midnight (the price drops to $375 after 1AM). There are tons of tables available both downstairs and on the mezzanine where you'll pop bottles of Belvedere and Dom Perignon for prices between 8 and 20 grand. The party will last until after the sun comes up again at 7AM. Tickets and tables can be booked here.
Don't you just love living in Miami where it's still warm enough in October to wear whatever you want? Whether your costume is creepy, creative or kinky, here is where to see and be scene this Halloween.

Need some last minute party plans tonight but not sure where to go? Come out to Mansion and get down with Estelle when she hosts the party tonight. International Wednesdays at Mansion feature the songstress tonight, and who knows, maybe some of her famous friends and collaborators will come out with her (Kanye, we're looking at you)! Tickets are still available for pre-sale, and there's always bottle service, so hurry up before it's too late! Mansion features some of the best nightlife in Miami so the beautiful people will no doubt be lined up at the door tonight. Enjoy!
After watching the United States' heartbreaking tie to Slovenia just now in the World Cup, (Edu's goal wasn't even close to being offsides by the way) I'm ready to think about the weekend to get my mind off of soccer. Without further ado, here are my choices to get your weekend off right:
What to Do
Head on over to Mansion tonight to catch a special DJ set by Lil' Jon. Mansion usually attracts a pretty good crowd for their We Rock Hip Hop Fridays and Lil' Jon will likely only help make the party bigger than it usually is. Residents DJ Ideal and DJ Affect will also be contributing their musical stylings throughout the night.
Things will be relatively brief this week as I'm quite distracted by soccer right now (curse you ESPN3.com.) That being said, if you're not in the going-out type of mood this weekend, I would highly recommend catching some of the World Cup, especially the United States vs. England Saturday at 2pm. If you do want to peel yourself off of the couch however, here are my suggestions for this weekend:
What to Do
Check out two great concerts this weekend. Tonight you can catch the Dan Band at Mansion and rock out to the group that played the hilarious wedding scenes in Old School and The Hangover.
While "We Rock Hip Hop" Fridays at Mansion are usually known for their urban flavor as the rap and hip-hop A-Listers who make appearances at Miami's hottest night club, this Friday will be a little different. The Dan Band is the main event this Friday, bringing their blend of musical comedy and hilarious covers to South Florida.
The group, which is most famous for their appearances as the wedding band in movies like "Old School" (a f***in' total eclipse of the heart), and "The Hangover," has also filmed a Bravo special entitled "Dan Finnerty and the Dan Band: I am Woman," and made appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Look below for a video from their Bravo special. It should be all the convincing you'll need to check them out this Friday at Mansion.
Be sure to check out Mansion this Saturday where world famous DJ Roger Sanchez will be performing. Sanchez, who won a Grammy in 2003 for his remix of No Doubt's Hella Good, is ranked as one of the top 100 DJs in the world by DJ Magazine.
Lex Da Funk and Laurent Simeca will provide opening sets. Tickets are $20
