A Concierge’s Black Book — Miami

2. Visit to a private key

Then a Lamborghini Aventador will take you to the tarmac to catch a Eurocopter to a private key for swimming, paddleboarding, jet-skiing, and lunch.

3. Night-vision gear at the Everglades

Next you’ll head to the Everglades to catch the sunset from a custom airboat equipped with night-vision gear so you can also see some of Miami’s other creatures as night falls.

4. VIP entry at LIV nightclub

Then back to the hotel, where your wardrobe will be ready along with a hair and makeup stylist. After dinner at one of Miami’s hotspots and VIP entry at LIV, an on-call Escalade will bring you home. Or maybe to the airport for a private jet to Havana?
