LIV is one of Miami’s most popular nighttime hotspots for locals and visitors alike. A place where beautiful people unite, the spacious (but usually crowded) club frequently hosts launch parties and features world-renown DJs playing the best of hip-hop and house. Located in the Fontainebleau, LIV is usually characterized by a sea of eager partygoers standing outside, waiting to get in. Once inside, the experience is one of total Miami opulence.

Nicola Siervo and Karim Masri wear proverbial nightlife medals of honor for all they've accomplished in the restaurant, lounge and nightclub spaces. Their after-hours Midas touch has places turning to gold all over South Beach, really. And most recently that gilded pleasure was bestowed upon the W Hotel and Residence's in-house lounge, WALL. Small for sure, this place only has room for the very best. Perhaps that's why you'll find yourself waiting in line alongside the likes of Paris Hilton and Alber Elbaz on their hautest nights.

MMG Nightlife is known in the inner circles and amongst the most upper echelon of the social set for making spots, well, haute. This just happens to be the group behind the Fontainebleau's always-lively LIV, and so it makes perfect sense that just a velvet rope away from the super-luxe establishment, they'd open a second set of doors. Enter: Arkadia. This spot caters to those interested in a "frisky thrill" brought on by top DJs and fashion installations set amongst the sexy designs of visionary Francois Frossard.
