Miami Clubs On The Nightclub & Bar 2012 Top 100

First Posted: 02/10/2012 3:13 pm   Updated: 02/10/2012 4:05 pm

When it comes to nightclubs and bars, their very existence is a win for all of us. But when it comes to Nightclub & Bar Magazine's Top 100 of 2012, not all of them make the cut.

Though Las Vegas venues took a massive 20 slots -- including eight of the top 10 places -- nine Miami and Miami Beach nightspots made the list. Better yet, according to this survey these nine clubs brought in $120 to $180 million just last year. Exciting, no? But considering the now-shuttered money pit Nocturnal made the list in 2011, though, it's up to you just how much stock to put in these things. [View the methodology behind the rankings here.]

The 305's supposed hottest spots, by national ranking:

No surprise here: the first club in America to bust up the Vegas stranglehold on the top 10 is Miami Marketing Group's domed palace at The Fontainebleau. From hipster Wednesday nights to Lil' Wayne-stamped Sundays, 5th-place LIV's been the hottest (and most expensive) spot in Miami Beach since it opened several years ago.

Estimated 2011 total revenue: $35-45 million

Miami is great when it comes to the bars. Sometimes they are hard to find though. Thats why people lately have been using FiestaFrog.com . It tells you were the parties, bar specials and concerts are that night. Pretty good site
