Imagine the holidays didn't leave a hole in your pocket and you had $100,000 to party with Future at Cameo for New Year's Eve ... Your cup would be overflowing with endless Patrón, Belvedere, and Moët & Chandon Rosé Champagne and you'd get to meet the rapper himself.
Eh, maybe next year. Luckily, there are plenty of cheaper ways to celebrate 2013. Here are the top five New Year's Eve parties in Miami that won't cost you a thing.

Fat Tuesday. Monday, December 31, 9 p.m., at 918 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach; 305-534-1328.. The drinks here are the cheapest you will find on the beach, especially during New Year's Eve. They may be frozen and fluorescent orange, blue, and pink, but don't underestimate their power, particularly when you add extra booze from your own NYE flask. There will be dancing all night. But at midnight, take a break from shaking ass and watch fireworks explode over the beach, and then get back to that 190 Octane and continue partying until the wee hours of the new year.
Ted's Hideaway. Monday, December 31, 10 p.m., at 124 Second
St., Miami Beach; 305-532-9869.. Debauchery and drunken shenanigans are the norm here. The drinks are already cheap. But since it's New Year's Eve, Ted's will be offering shot specials every hour leading up to the new year. On top of that, there will be a midnight champagne toast and balloon drop. Ted's will stay open till 7 a.m., so stick around all night for a free breakfast in the morning. Chances are you'll need it
