The quintessential Miami Beach club

Talk of the town: WALL hosted the after party for the premiere of the HBO television show Entourage, and is the venue for countless celeb-studded events.

Word to the wise: This is a hard door to get through. Booking table service helps, as does staying at the hotel.

The 4,000 square foot gold-and-black hideaway, tucked inside the W South Beach, comes from the visionaries behind popular South Beach hotspots Mokai and Mynt, and is everything you expect a Miami club to be.

A combination of a cozy lounge and old-school club, only VIPs get beyond the velvet rope and behind the beveled bronze doors. Although it doesn't guarantee entry, in theory anyone can be a VIP; just book in advance, and dance the night away beneath a 35-inch spherical LED chandelier (a modern update on the mirrored disco ball) or lounge on lush gold couches.
