Miami Beach Weekend Itinerary for May 15-18
Girls just want to have fun… and we dedicate this weekend to them from start to finish. Why? Why not! Without their shiny hair, tawny legs and sexy clothes, South Beach would be - well, it wouldn’t be - and that’s just OUT of the question! There will be a few thousand MORE women in town this weekend celebrating at the beaches and clubs. If you are in town for SweetHeat or AquaGirl - welcome! This is definitely a GREAT weekend for the Girls, Girls Girls. Ready for the weekend? Here’s your itinerary for May 15-18.

Shore Club Spa / 1901 Collins Avenue / A healthy breakfast awaits you on the 8000sq.ft. rooftop retreat at The Shore Club where you can be pampered on an outdoor terrace overlooking the sea. Enjoy a signature “Wild Zesty Massage” - essential oils are applied to your hair, neck and shoulders to nourish the scalp, combat mental exhaustion, restore the spirit and eliminate jet lag and fatigue. After that - it’s GO time!
| Lunch |
Sushi Samba / 600 Lincoln Road / Asian fusion cuisine is a common theme at local eateries but only THIS one blends the best of Japan with the sexy fare of Brazil!

Barton G / 1427 West Avenue / Reserve a patio table under the stars and let Miami’s host with the most dazzle you with his culinary pyrotechnics tonight. Exotic orchids and twinkling tealights set the stage for a romantic meal filled with “puns in presentation” from swordfish served with a REAL sword or lobster pop tarts in a custom toaster… Barton G knows what makes dinner a delight.

Avenue Q at the Arsht Center / 1300 Biscayne Boulevard / A raunchy ALL PUPPET musical based loosely (very loosely) on the Sesame Street characters singing about big city life takes the stage tonight.

Banda Santa @ Santo / 430 Lincoln Road / We love the idea of something unexpected, something hidden from view. Santo is not a big draw at first glance, but once you get past the calm exterior, it’s a party spot beyond your wildest expectations.
