Top 5 Party Cities-Glam Hot-Spots for Hot Luxury Car Rentals

Traveling is an outlet for all of your accumulated creative juices, and what better way than with a visit to some of the world’s steamiest, sexiest luxury destinations?   In the world of racy and sultry places to party, absorb and be seen, our top five picks are:

•    Miami
•    Chicago
•    Los Angeles
•    Las Vegas
•    New York

Jet-setting across the United States is fabulous and freeing-especially behind the wheel ofA1A-Ocean Drive Sign a sleek and sophisticated, luxury rental car in South Beach for a night of upscale clubs and dancing.  We are, of course, partial to the charms of South Beach because we live here.  Miami is a destination that boils all along A1A, spilling into boutiques, international cuisine, pulsating nightclubs and expansive beachlines striped with blues and greens.  But in order to stand out down here, you must do it up-in an exotic rental car South Beach style!  Remember, you will have competition, so choose your weapon wisely.

Chicago is the Midwestern party pick.  This enormous city assuredly has something to offer everyone, with international cuisine, hot clubs with unique themes, and charming Chinatown.  Because Chicago expands along the shores of Lake Michigan, we recommend an upscale sky bar, for uninterrupted views of the water and the incredible Chicago skyline.  This is a fast-paced and packed city, with many endearing and luxurious qualities to take in.  It is also a major world finance center, which makes a luxury rental car in Chicago a must to keep up appearances.

Los Angeles is another favorite of ours, because it is the Mecca of the rich and fabulous.  Las Vegas Luxury TravelThe West Coast has its charms, including a cooler season that we in South Florida do not have.  For this reason, a convertible luxury rental may not be advised during the cooler months.  LA is a living breathing city full of celebrities, posh entertainment options, famous chefs, striking coastline, and within proximity to venture to Las Vegas in your exotic rental car, if you were so inclined.

Ahh Las Vegas.  We could hardly write about the best party cities in the U.S. without mentioning sin city!  Everyone knows that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, a quality that has helped to make it a favorite for people all over the world.  Glitter, glitz, gambling, excess and parties that appeal to many different styles can be found here.  Las Vegas is a thrill from the moment you check into your hotel and begin to stroll down the busy streets, surrounded by all of the luxury and options you desire. 

Jetting back to the East Coast, we cannot overlook the Big Apple-New York City. Notably Manhattan with its glittering skyscrapers, designer couture, upscale lifestyle and demanding attitude-this is definitely a city you do not want to visit without a luxury rental car New York style.  In New York, you do not get a second chance to make a first impression, and the glitziest turn heads.  Indulge in the city vibe during your stay here, and perhaps you will be ready for South Beach shortly after!

Is 20% the new 15% in Fine Dining? We Turned to Twitter

Tipping standards at South Beach fine dining establishmentsWhen it comes to fine dining, have you brushed up on your dining etiquette lately? Recently Imagine Lifestyles began to ponder this very inquiry, as luxury is our passion and that encompasses all that is luxury-down to an impeccable fine dining experience.  We turned to Twitter, where the tweets flew in-ultimately tweaking our former opinion about what is acceptable in the realm of high-end restaurant tips.

It would seem, based on the wingspan of responses from our fellow tweetsters, that 20% is the new 15% when it comes to tipping at a fine dining establishment.  Whether you are dining to impress dates, colleagues or simply to treat your family, it seems the ante has assuredly been upped-following are some of the results from out Twitter poll:

•    DaisyCottageIRL@ImagineLuxury-I apply the same rules: service, food, etc., check if "service charge" already charged and tip usual 15-20% directly to staff. 
•    GlassFriendsDEU@ImagineLuxury– 10% to 20% depending on the service quality. Sometimes no tip will teach the business a lesson to improve their services.
•     Leyla_a@IChic South Beach luxury dining and how to tipmagineLuxury-20%

The sleek, stylish, and aristocratic crowd knows that showing their appreciation via a plump tip is good measure, and good manners.  This is also an image issue, as you can imagine.  All of the preparation in the world will not save you from poor manners, good grooming, a luxury rental car, or the hottest date.  More to come on this and other luxury news- from Imagine Lifestyles, your source for South Beach luxury rental cars, luxury rental properties, tips on luxury living, guides, and entertainment.
