What's Hot In Nightlife

Who decides a hot spot is hot?

Usually celebrities, and the right people, and the beautiful people determine whether a place is hot or not. Usually girls have a lot of power and say in it because beautiful girls - wherever they go - will make a place hot. So, if you always have a lot of hot girls in one place, that place is going to be hot because the girls attract the guys and the girls attract celebrities. So, as long as you have beautiful women you just can't go wrong.

What is a DJ's role in making a night spot hot?

DJs are very important in making the club's atmosphere. They are the ones that are mixing together amazing beats, setting the mood, taking you back to the eighties, or rock, or hip-hop, and just fusing that all together. They are amazing at what they do and it truly is a craft. In New York, LA and Miami, I have a lot of great DJ friends that fly around the world. It truly is an art and a skill. They are very valuable which is why they get paid the big bucks to do what they do.

How long does a popular club typically stay hot?

A hot Club typically stays hot for only about a couple of months, three to four months. People get sick of it and want to do something else. A lot of people, if they don't know what they're looking at is a sight that is dated. They'll think something like the 'Sunset Room' is good, when in reality now it's called 'Cabana Club' and it's completely remodeled. A lot of clubs will generally be redone as far as decor, and be named something new. And reopened, And people will ask, 'oh have you been to so and so' and you're like 'what's that'. So Clubs change names here all the time. And it's basically just a different name, same place, different decor. Just so it can be hot again For the next couple of months.

Is there only one 'hot' scene?

Different people like different things. If people want to go, only hang out with A-list celebrities, and models, and actors and that crowd, then there are certain promoters for that. If people want to hang out in primarily an art scene or musician scene, eclectic type of art scene, than maybe they should follow another different type of promoter that primarily deals with venues downtown - that has a lot of lofts and really cool spaces like that. If you have another set of people that prefer the gay scene, there is a lot of different promoters for that. So it just depends what you want to do, where you want to go, who you want to hang out with. Boy, you can hang out in a lot of different circles in big cities and I think that makes it fun. Because you can hang out with musicians one day, and artists the next, and a gay crowd the next, and maybe like a college crowd the next night. You can do it all and I think that makes life fun.
