We headed to the Nikki Beach area for our second night of partying. Parking was not terribly easy. After dinner, we headed to Opium in an attempt to meet up with a friend who was already inside. The enormous crowd in front of Opium was aggressive and too crazy for our taste. People were standing outside Opium in utter chaos, desperately and wildly waving their hands and repeatedly yelling, "Pick me!” Since we had no desire to partake in such groveling, we decided to explore the Nikki Beach area for another club. We saw people standing in a more organized fashion in front of Pearl, which sits atop the Nikki Beach Club. At first we were confused because the sign in front read Pearl Restaurant and Champagne Lounge. We finally discovered that Pearl basically transforms into a lounge/club in the late night. We played the line game again, but this time we didn’t have to wait as long. The decor of Pearl was a huge contrast to Mynt, with its theme colors of bright orange and white. Circles and polka dots were everywhere, with fur-lined curtains adorning the walls. The shell-shaped champagne bar was complimented with shell-shaped chairs and the white leather couches. The energy level was high compared to Mynt and the crowd was more diverse and friendly. The DJ played a mix of music, including hip hop, pop, and reggae. Our group had fun at Pearl. I recommend it for a fun and carefree night out. Pearl’s website, which is more professional compared to Mynt’s amateur attempt at web design, promotes a “casual, yet trendy atmosphere.” Fri-Sun 7pm-5am
