Yachts Miami Beach is a popular event typically held around the same time as the larger Miami International Boat Show. The show will be heading into its 29th year in 2017 but unlike previous events, there are significant changes in store for next year.

The 2017 Yachts Miami Beach will feature an all-new layout and look when it begins on February 16th near the popular Eden Roc and Fontainebleau. The co-owners of the show have chosen to hire a world-renowned design company in charge of reimagining the show consisting of a showcase of luxury yachts, live musical performances, floating cocktail lounges, and more. The company is responsible for many notable projects including the popular tourist destination Atlantis Paradise Island in The Bahamas and various Disney resorts.

Plans for the reimagined Yachts Miami Beach include placing a greater emphasis on the scenic location near the Indian Creek Waterway and a quintet of unique entrances designed to create an artful ambiance while providing attendees useful information. The sidewalks that were used to accommodate foot traffic have been swapped in favor of floating docks that include concession stands serving food and beverages. For the first time in its history, attendees will be able to use complimentary water taxis. These new changes are intended to make Yachts Miami Beach more interactive and inviting for prospective buyers as well as the exhibitors.

Mansion in Miami Beach was once one of Washington Avenue’s most popular clubs before it closed its doors and was replaced by Icon Nightclub. Unfortunately, Icon Nightclub was short lived, closing a mere nine months after it opened. The venue which once called famous names like Prince and Al Capone its owners sat empty for a while before plans for the Miami Copa Room were announced.

Upon opening, Miami Copa Room will have a vibe akin to Cancun’s Coco Bongo, a fusion of nightlife, Las Vegas style shows, nightclub acts, entertainers, and more in one setting. While the name suggests a Latin experience, it will have a tinge of Latin flair, but is not aiming to be a Latin club. Instead Miami Copa Room seeks to appeal to tourists and become a competitor to Mango’s. In fact, there are plans to potentially sell tickets in the lobbies of various Miami Beach hotels.

Guests of Miami Copa Room will pay a flat fee to enter and they’ll be able to enjoy unlimited drinks from 10 pm to 4 am. This fee is expected to be $80 on weekdays and $100 on weekends with a pricier option available for those looking to visit the second floor and enjoy a broader selection of drinks. The venue will be open Wednesday through Sunday and it is aiming to officially open its doors by Halloween.
