There are your basic, everyday Entourage fans, and then there are your Entourage fans who would shell out a few grand for a hotel package in the hope they can live the authentic Vinny Chase lifestyle. I probably wouldn't want to meet the latter type of fan, which means I...

There are your basic, everyday Entourage fans, and then there are your Entourage fans who would shell out a few grand for a hotel package in the hope they can live the authentic Vinny Chase lifestyle. I probably wouldn't want to meet the latter type of fan, which means I should steer clear of W South Beach for the next few months.

The newly opened W has teamed up with HBO to offer an exclusive "Entourage package." For a mere $5,650, fans can stay for two nights in a themed three-story bungalow. The package also includes limo transportation to and from the airport, a personal driver, a cabana at WET, dinners, bottle service at Wall, a trip on a private yacht, a basketball game with "court-side Coronas," access to two Jet Skis, and a golf game.

The bungalow features free Grey Goose and Heineken (apparently to Entourage what cosmopolitans are to Sex and the City), a private pool, a barbecue grill, and a PlayStation 3.

Adrian Grenier was in town last night for a kick-off party for the promotion, which runs until late September.
