In 1998, he said he was through with dancing, but the Lord of the Dance is back with his latest extravaganza, 'Feet of Flames'. Tons of steel, enough electricity to light up a small city and 50 dancers, all try to make Mr Flatley look very good. Pricey desserts are visual stunners, as is the setting in the Delano Hotel on busy Collins Avenue.

When you dine at this excellent restaurant, you feel like you've been transported to the Iberian peninsula. The menu does offer other European dishes, but it is the Spanish cuisine that will make you shudder with ecstasy.

Maybe the hottest dance spot for South Florida lesbians, Ultra at Sea Monster has just been getting bigger and bigger. With four bars and several rooms, including a side patio featuring fine acoustic acts, the club gives you plenty of room to manoeuvre.
