This isn't surprising. How else does a single night club in Miami pull in over $70M a year (LIV at fontainebleu hotel). For every 25k appearance there are 10 that night paying $5k each for bottle service nearby, and then another 1000 paying $100 for booze.

I was at LIV last week (an unpaid appearance :-)). Two drinks + tax + tip came out to $48.

Pay for the drinks, stay for the experience... ;-)

We did, until 3 AM. It was well worth the price.

LIV closes at 5AM, guess you left early, likely a wise idea... :-)

It's great to see high-profile Amazonians practicing the Leadership Principles in their personal lives. Frugality, Highest Standards, and Learn & Be Curious all in one night of partying!

As someone who's been to LIV a few times, I can say that entrance alone on most weekend nights (fri/sat) is $100. "Premium" drinks like Patron (how is that premium?) are $25 a glass. Those skyboxes on the second floor (that look down on the dance floor) start at $10,000 minimum. Fortunately, I never had to pay because I had a mutual friend with the owner. LIV is definitely on the top end of South Beach nightlife, but there are other clubs that have similar prices.
