The beauty of living in the Magic City (aside from the perfectly-chiseled, gorgeous people and orange, pink, and purple sunsets, of course) is the endless star-studded bashes jam packed with world-class DJs and overflowing Hennessey.
And that's not just on the weekend -- that's every night of the week.
Check out the six best parties happening on South Beach this week.

Sure, he won a 2012 Espy for Best Fighter, among other accolades, and is one of the highest paid athletes, but the Quintuple Champion was also the culprit for Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez's first career loss. And like a boss, we're pretty sure Money will be celebrating with endless Patrón and Dom.
