How do you define "well-rounded". These threads never really get to the bottom of the OP's question. people typically big up their favorite cities on the list, and slander their least favorite cities
This thread is innaccurate regarding Miami's nightlife scene. I don't think Miamis nightlife is one dimensional per se, I just think Miami gets judged on the surface more than any other city. What you experience within a block in South Beach, is viewed as the basis for "typical" Miami nightlife. South Beach is viewed as the face of Miami in threads like these..But hey, SF has Santa Con.
LA is so overrated for its cost of living....I would never spend that much cash to live in an average city like that....If you are going to pay that much money you might as well just like in NYC or San Fran....
I don't care for Vegas either....Fun to visit, but it gets old real quick
NYC, Chicago, Montreal, New Orleans, San Fran are all good cities....Miami is better than Vegas/LA but definitely not as good as the top 5.....Obviously NYC and Chicago are unmatched in size and scope, but Montreal, New Orleans, San Fran have such a unique vibe about them...
Where would you think is better place for myself and 2 friends (mid 20s) to party in New Orleans or Chicago? I was in New Orleans last summer and loved it never been to Chicago. Obviously since we haven't been in Chicago it would make more sense but that's irrelevant. Basically just want to know whats a better party city?
My ranking of the cities I have been to regarding nightlife on this list
1.Vegas
2.NYC
3. Miami
4. New Orleans
5. Montreal
I actually like New Orleans and Montreal more than Miami based on my expectations of them however Miami is a bigger better scene.
You didn't go to any of the good clubs, or you went on a day they had nothing scheduled. Liv tomorrow (wednesday) is 75$ USD for males, and 40$ USD for females. On Thursday it's 250USD for males, and 125$ for females. And that's one club and real prices right now.
I love how in tune you are with the day to day door prices for popular south beach clubs, of course broken down by male/female (here in SF we'd have additional categories ). While you preach that Miami's scene is certainly not one dimensional and isn't all about clubbing, you seem to be quite focused on door prices to the clubs there (like WHO tracks THAT? aren't there other things going on down there?)
Also, I wouldn't brag about willingly and frequently spending $1,000 for entry to these places. I would wager a bet that in most people's eyes that just makes a you a superficial, hollow fool, and thus you continue the epic stereotype that is Miami (the fact that you think that makes you special and worthy such that you feel the need to "casually" mention that epitomizes my experience with the droll that inhabits a place like Miami)
And I have to say, based on my own experiences, that BajanYankee certainly does know what he's talking about. Where are you from and how long have you lived in Miami? And if you're someone special living in South Beach who frequents clubs there, why aren't you a local VIP and why can't you get a discount or get in for free, especially if you know promoters (which might be the #1 occupation down there!)?
If Miami has devolved into turning up its nose at its own locals that can actually and consistently afford its nightlife, then Miami's scene is just awful. Who would want to live in such a place. The beauty about a real city is that you have enough options where you don't feel obligated to go to some touristy club 2-3x a week and you can establish local watering holes where the bartenders and possibly the owners become your friends and you feel local and connected to your neighborhood and your city. That does not seem to be possible in Miami anymore, which is sad and pathetic.

Well I just looked those up for his sake, didn't know those off the top of my head
Ps, Liv is not in South Beach, it's in Fontainebleau hotel.

I'm not bragging, just stating reality. I went clubbing in every major, glamorous US city. And many international cities. Miami's high end clubs are extremely expensive and unpredictable.
And I'm friends with a club promoter, I can get in for free to just about any club on a slow night, but the key is a slow night. I'm at a point where spending 1000 USD to get priority access, and a bottle of grey goose and chasers is fine with me. I make enough money not to be phased by it. And I'm no celebrity or Ultra rich, to get VIP treatment (free access) in a way you describe. I said this story in the other thread, but it bears repeating here, my friend who is a club promoter once sold something like 45,000 USD of tickets for a club only for the club to be bought out by some Russian billionaire for the night and the club canceled on their deal. Miami is all about who has more money. So my friend booked them at another club, gave them a party bus, and bottle service with their money to save face.
When we have so many ultra wealthy passing through this place, you better be one of them or your small fry.
When I go to clubs here, I pay 1000USD to just enter and have my grey goose right away. To many people spending that kind of money may seem ridiculous but it's Miami .
What exactly does a $1,000 cover charge get you? A 1.75L bottle of Goose will cost about $60. Where is the other $940 going?

Obviously a lot of this goes into the Clubs profit. You think when they charge you 20$ for a Corona, the Corona actually costs them that money
And not a handle (1.75 L) but only a fifth (0.75)
