Miami is known for wild parties, nightclubs and nightlife in general

Here is some great information about night clubs from wikipedia

A nightclub (or "night club" or "club") is a drinking, dancing, and entertainment venue which does its primary business after dark. A nightclub is usually distinguished from bars, pubs or taverns, by the inclusion of a dance floor and a DJ booth, where a DJ plays recorded dance and pop music. Some nightclubs have other forms of entertainment, such as comedians, "go-go" dancers, a floor show or strippers (see strip club). The music in nightclubs is either live bands or, more commonly a mix of songs played by a DJ through a powerful PA system. Most clubs or club nights cater to certain music genres, such as house music or salsa.

In the US, the largest nightclubs are found in New York, Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C..In the UK, the largest nightclubs are found in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Southampton, Sheffield and Bristol .Elsewhere in the world, nightclubs congregate in major and capital cities, although often even very small towns and cities feature at least one nightclub, often the sole focus for weekend late night activities.

Nightclubs often feature lighting and other effects, to enhance the dancing experiences. Lighting and effects include flashing colored lights, moving light beams, laser light shows, strobe lights, a mirror-covered disco balls, or foam, and smoke machines.

Nightclub hours vary widely; depending on the liquor regulations in a region, in the U.S nightclubs may stay open until 1 AM or even 4 AM. In some cities, illegal "after hours" clubs stay open and serve alcohol after the legal closing time. However, in many other countries such as the United Kingdom, Japan and Australia, nightclubs stay open legally all night and into early daylight hours. Particularly in the United Kingdom where alcohol can be bought 24 hours legally, this has resulted in some nightclubs staying open for 24 hours.

Variant types of nightclubs include non-smoking and alcohol-free nightclubs, or comedy clubs. Restaurants or supper clubs may provide music and entertainment similar to that provided by a nightclub. However, the food is the main attraction at these establishments, whereas entertainment is the main attraction at a nightclub. Another type of club is a concert club, which specializes in hosting performances of live music. In contrast to regular night clubs, concert clubs are usually only open when a performance is scheduled. Another type of nightclub is the under 18's kind, this is usually one night a week/month where the nightclub opens business for those usually over 14 and under 18. On these nights alcohol isn't served and chewing gum is sometimes forbidden too. These under 18's nights are especially popular for schoolkids in the UK.

Nightclubs are usually built in former warehouses and cinemas, underground buildings, and custom-built buildings, with thick, insulated walls and few or no windows, so that the neighboring buildings will not be disturbed by the powerful beat of the dance music and the flashing strobe lights. As well, this style of construction keeps light and noise from the street from entering the club. This allows the nightclub to turn the dance floor into an alternate, illusory realm of timelessness. Even if an all-night rave at a nightclub lasts until 6 AM, when it is light outside, to the clubgoers, it is still dark inside the club, and the partying and dancing continue.

In most cases entering a night club requires a flat fee called a cover charge. Early arrivers and women often have cover waived, though (in the United Kingdom at least), this latter option is illegal under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. Friends of the doorman or the club owner may gain free entrance. Sometimes, especially at larger clubs, one only gets a pay card at the entrance, on which all money spent in the discotheque (often including the entrance fee) is marked. Sometimes entrance fee and wardrobe costs are paid by cash and only the drinks in the club are paid using a pay card.
