Blame it on Miami Vice, or maybe it was just serendipity, but as Jan Hammer's 1985 classic theme shot up the charts and into our pop culture psyche, the first-ever Winter Music Conference also came into being. Twenty four years later, the electro-beat still goes on and gets bigger and better each year. Whether you've scored tickets or are still waiting on your shady "hook-up," this week we're bringing you some prime places to dance the night away and still be able to walk into work the next morning.

WMC's life-affirming revelry resonates with thousands, including ten-year vet Sabrina C who has no qualms giving us the lowdown: "With exclusive DJs from around the globe, the entire city dances its ass off for a straight week, and even the hardest of party-goers struggle to keep up by the last Sunday pool party." Follow Marcos R to the National Hotel, "as they're sure to be planning must-see (or be-seen) parties throughout the entire week. The infinity pool is exquisite and leads to the outdoor bar and eventually the beach. Just follow it all the way to Candyland." Sweet!

For a more intimate dance party, 2-step into Set... if you can. Alice S "hearts this place like Angelina Jolie hearts orphans," but warns that it "doesn't let just anyone sashay through its doors." Sound like a hassle? Drea Q has your answer: "Stop in at Indra Lounge. It's got a great ambiance – very sexy and seductive, but is not one of the those foo-foo spots that think they are too cool for everyone." Meanwhile, Elizabeth V suits up for Heathrow: "Exactly what South Beach needed. The type of club you expect to find downtown nestled somewhere within the Design District appealing to the house-lovers and indie kids."

Linette P feels right at home downtown at PS14: "Good drinks, a pool table, inside/outside areas... yup my kinda place." And just in time to partake in the WMC festivities, The Electric Pickle promises to light things up, or at least get you pickled after a few of their Dirty Pickle Martinis! But when the weekend hits, run wild at the enormous, not-to-be-missed, live music extravaganza that is the Ultra Music Festival. With over a hundred artists performing on multiple outdoor stages, it's no wonder Eddy D describes it as "a drum and bass, techno, house, trance Mecca." Lucky for you, there's no pilgrimage necessary!

Picks of the Week
Reviews we liked this week.
Ramon C. on B.E.D.
"From the moment I first walked into this place in 2002 I knew it was special. Just a sign that said B.E.D. outside and a bouncer who stood outside little did I know what I would find when I went inside. The DJ on the turntables was none other than Danny Howells. Let me see you throw your hands in…"
Lourdes W. on Gansevoort South
"This hotel makes you feel like you just stepped into the hollywood lime light. Not to mention, its sister property in NYC is a hot-spot too. I spent my birthday weekend here and I loved every minute of it even though the weather did not cooperate with me most of the time.

The room was a suite with a…"
Franky A. on Forge Restaurant & Lounge
"If you ever wanted to feel like Tony Montana, this is the place to be for you to be decadent and then some. Actually, this place has been around for ages and was once (probably still is) the spot where the real-life cocaine cowboys hung out.

It's THE spot to check out celebs, high rollers, Arab…"
