Any advice for how to party in Miami?

Miami doesn’t go to sleep with the sun, that’s for sure. Prepare to stay up well after midnight to get the full Miami party scene experience. Leave Sparky at the Chesterfield Hotel & Suites, a South Beach Group Hotel or Mandarin Oriental, Miami and head for Miami Beach nightclubs. After you sip on some creative concoctions at spots like the Rec Room, STORY, and Purdy Lounge, you’re sure to be wagging your tail. To spend time surrounded by fresh night air and twinkling stars, check out a rooftop bar near the Miami skyline. If you lose track of time and greet the sun, go get your pup and make a beeline for the strong coffee in Little Havana.
