Need recs for Miami hotels/restaurants/dance clubs/saucy entertainment for bachelorette party

[Anonymous]

Hi, all.

I'm helping to plan a bachelorette party for a dear friend. She and the guests are all in our mid-late 30s/early 40s. We've been friends since our 20s and partied a lot back in the day. We kind of want to get back to our partying roots, but we don't want to feel like senior citizens wherever we go. (In other words, we don't want to be surrounded by only people in their 20s!)

Looking for places to party and nice hotels that aren't a million dollars (not quite economical, but not super pricey like the W hotel). Also need to find vegetarian-friendly restaurants where we can have classy meals. And we wouldn't mind an upscale strip joint that catered to the ladies.

Would also love some ideas of where home base should be... downtown? Miami Beach? South Beach? elsewhere?

Thank you!

Go to South Beach and sun topless; you will get a million offers from hot guys asking you all to go party.

OP here.

Ha, PP! After two kids, my topless sunning days are over... Actually I don't think I would've had the courage to do that even when my boobs where somewhat perky.

Hmmmmm.... I think Miami and South Beach go hand in hand with 20-somethings.

Maybe go to Key West? Tampa? Day cruise to the Bahamas (from FL)?

Stay at the Gaanevoort. Spa day at the Standard. We just had a ball.
