Theatrical venue where the whole club’s a stage

Noteworthy for: Rapper Diddy hosted his MTV Video Music Awards celebration at this theater-cum-club.

Word to the wise: If you're keen for a party on a Monday night, this is where you'll find it.

This is the Miami club you were expecting: white leather walls, enormous crystal chandeliers and LED lights that set the expansive main floor aglow in pinks and blues. Set in a historic theater, it is a magnet for big name performers of every genre; Prince, Velvet Revolver and Britney Spears have all graced the stage, though more often you can expect star DJs like John Digweed.

There's a small back room with a cozier vibe, and usually different DJs. Or take a breather on the mezzanine and watch the action on the main dance floor below while reclining on oversized beds.
