That vid brings back the memories. I never got round to doing a 'review' as such, tbh I couldnt be bothered.
I went with no real great expectations, I remember someone on here saying it was crap and full of Spring breakers. Well they were wrong, the Spring breakers were mostly in the keys, not so much in Miami. The Americans in Miami were people that were into the House scene, and loved to party. Yeah there were 'guido's' posing by the pool, and posers giving it the big'un driving their ferraris down Ocean Drive, but generally the people there were there to party. There were lots of europeans like the video says, so there was a real cosmopolitan feel to it, much like Ibiza in a sense.
The parties were great, there are so many to choose from every day. Generally the pool parties started at midday and went on till either 10pm or midnight, then the night parties started, so you can generally party for 17 hours straight if you like.
As we were only there for 5 days and 4 nights (Thank you British airways

) we ended up going to Strictly Defected@cameo on the 1st official night of the conference (tuesday 23rd March), then the Shelbourne for the DJ mag recession sessions pool party the next day, followed by a boat party (similiar to the Tiki one in the vid), then onto Welcome to miami @ Niki beach (saw Fusion inside

), by 5am and 17 hours of partying we were pretty knackered.
The next day it was back to the Shelbourne for the Cadenza pool party which was amazing, followed by a party in Fort Lauderdale as one of our group was Dj'ing over there. It was quite surreal, the promoter picked us up in a Cadillad Escalade limo which seated 20, enroute we stopped off at Eric Morillo's house where he was celebrating his birthday. Unfortunately we only stopped by to collect some more Dj's (Kurd Maverick, Dennis the menace and some guy called Marcus Bigworld

) then we headed on to the clucb for our last night of partying. As we were with one of the DJ's it was Vip treatment with free booze, not the best with an early start in the morning

After 3 bottles of greygoose and a bottle of tequila our night ended at 5 am. We then had to get up and check out by 10 am as our flight was changed to Orlando (again thanks to BA for the strike

) Our 4 hour mini bus drive still rotten drunk was horrendous !!
Overall we did too much in too little time, But i'm definatley going back. The place is fantastic, a great vibe, great weather, amazing parties (especially the day parties), lovely people (the women are

), and fantastic music. It can be expensive although I found it cheaper than Ibiza. in some respects, You do need to book the accomodation early, or be prepared to stay in a shi7 hole. I do Highly recommend trying it at least once. If you like Ibiza, you'll like Miami IMO.
