MIAMI INFORMATION |
 |
Legendary for its beaches and babes,
notorious for its vice and the assassination of Versace, Miami is a
wild frontier town transported to the 21st century via the cover of
Vogue. Many of its districts are officially cities themselves. Most
people head straight for Miami Beach, specifically the South Beach
strip with its glam, newly restored neon and pastel Art Deco
buildings. This is club/bar/beach paradise with ultra-trendy places
like Liquid, China Grill and Nikki's offering a high celebrity
clientele with their cocktails. Make time for Key Biscayne, a smart,
secluded island community with beautiful beaches, five miles off the
mainland. The region's importance as an international financial and
cultural center has elevated Miami to the status of world city.
