It was only a matter of time that the super-hot nightlife scene of Miami went globetrotting to set up franchises of their famed nightclubs. On the heels of Pacha and Lotus, Miami's Mynt sets up its first Brazilian outpost in the Jardins neighborhood. Sao Paulo's swankest address, the club is a pop experience of fame and paparazzi exhibited in the main lounge and its Warhol-esque murals of dancing models and rock stars performing in front of clamoring fans.

Velvet booths in cubist shapes surround illuminated cocktail tables and a glass-topped bar where guys in open-collared Cavalli belly-up their rock hard abs to scout out local models carousing to house mixes by rotating deejays. Video projection screens and dramatic light show that rotates for special events and theme nights surround a parquet-lined dance floor throbbing with Latin-spiced electronic music that rages till 5am.
