Top NightClubs


Top NightClubs:


The Top Night Club in the United States compared to the Top NightClub in Georgia.  Well it really doesn’t so any justice when it comes to the propaganda other than the city of Atlanta has some of the most appealing nightclubs around in the state, so my question is why didn’t the Top 10 list on Club Planet??

I figured I would share my thoughts on this blog because this nightclub scene is a part of my promotion company that I will eventually branch out to a shoe and line and then a clothing line within the future. 
 I want to be involved as much as I can with the production and the building of my nightclub and with profit, my shoe line will be produced effectively.  With club promotions, there are several things to consider.  Location, Location, Location and a major business plan is paramount and a must for any successful business.

While searching the net I wanted to compare the difference between LIV nightclub in Miami, Florida and HALO Lounge in Atlanta, Georgia.  Since I am located in Georgia and I want to open my club in the greater Hinesville and Savannah Area, I thought this would be a good thing that I look at all the different competitors in the local area.


As stated above I analyzed the two top clubs that were listed on www.ClubPlanet.com Unfortunately, Atlanta’s Halo Club did not make the top 10 lest on Club Planet for one of the best clubs in the US.  It did however make top 10 lists of the Top 10 clubs in the state of Georgia.  Atlanta shoes a lot of promises when it comes to the night scene, but analyzing LIV nightclub in Miami, Florida shows me 22,000 sq. ft. of flooring venue for events and the nightlife unlike Halo Lounge. 

Halo Lounge in Atlanta, was awarded Top 5 Ultra Lounge of the year for 2010 NightClub and Bar Magazine.  It is in the basement level of the Biltmore Hotel in Atlanta near midtown and within ten minutes of Georgia Tech. University. 

The nightclub only provides parties for up to 300 people, while LIV provides for 2 levels of 3 full service bars, 6 privates skyboxes and can have a capacity of 900 guests.


Bottom line LIV has history, contemporary and it definitely redefines nightlife on the beach unlike Halo Club in Georgia.

By analyzing these two clubs there are two big areas that I may need to focus on with my club business.  What I have learned so far is having the correct business plan, great location and a lavish budget. 

I will definitely take these two nightclubs as an inspiration towards building my empire.



#1 Top Club in the U.S. – LIV
4441 Collins Avenue
Miami Beach, FL 33139
LIV nightclub is quite possibly the biggest club that Miami has to offer, but it’s also one of the most elegant. It’s all about rubbing elbows with Miami’s A-list socialites at this venue, and prepares to spend some serious cash at the bar. The VIP experience at LIV is the quintessential party experience for anyone looking to build great memories, making this one of the best clubs in the U.S.
