Miami may lack a lot of things, but flashy, over-the-top party places isn't one of them.
So slip on those uhntz-uhntz shoes, gather up your party crew, and celebrate the nightlife oasis that is the Magic City with the six best club bashes going down this week.
Check 'em out, from San Fran lover of wax Nick Monaco at Bardot to French party boy Cedric Gervais at Story to SAFE and the music of Matryn at the Electric Pickle.
