Viva Miami! Your Personal Super Bowl Party Guide

By Brittni Michaelis

The Super Bowl, the grand daddy of all sporting events, played by the two best NFL teams after a grueling month of playoffs, not only features top athletes throwing parties but celebrities as well.  If you find yourself anywhere close to Miami, here are a couple places I would advise you to check out:

Chad Ochocinco along with TO, LPGA Golfer Anna Rawson, Playboy Playmate Summer Altice, DJ Irie and others will be hosting a Super Bowl party on Friday February 5th at 9pm. Tickets are $500 and that gives you the opportunity to eat McDonalds, play video games, drink and hang out with fellow guests and athletes.  Ochocino’s party is sure to be a hit just judging by the week he has had so far. Ochocinco tweeted, “Just finished media row now headed down to south beach to finish the rest of my media stuff,then pool party with TO and Ludacris.” The Party will be held at Chad’s mansion.

Next up we have the beautiful Kim Kardashian, girlfriend of Saint’s running back Reggie Bush and star of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Roselyn Sanchez, and Holly Madison, former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner and star of Girls Next Door, are throwing a Leather and Laces Super Bowl Party on Friday February 5th at 9pm at the Art Deco Paris Theater in Miami. General Admission tickets are available for $350 and VIP access for $750.

Down the street from the Leather and Laces Super Bowl Party the great Michael Irvin is also hosting a party on Friday February 5th at 9pm at the Opium Night Club in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Invited guests include A-Rod, Will Ferrell, Johnny Damon and Ray Lewis. Tickets are $150

The infamous Playboy Party is also being held at 9pm at The Sagamore Hotel. Hugh Hefner and his favorite bunnies will be there among other celebrities celebrating in South Beach. The Black Eyed Peas are rumored to be performing. Tickets are available for $1000. This should be a hot party.

My last pick for a worthwhile party that one should attend is that hosted by Kendra Wilkinson, former Playboy Bunny and wife to Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Hank Baskett, who is throwing her own Super Bowl party at the Passion Night Club on Friday February 5th at The Passion Night Club located at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Wilkinson’s party is schedule to start at 11pm and tickets are $20. Wilkinson seems excited to “partayyyyyyy” and let loose. She recently tweet, “Passionnightclub.com is where im throwin my partayyyyyyy in MIA..and yes family will be watching the baby that night lol.”

Unfortunately not all Super Bowl parties are open to the public. For those lucky enough to have money, fame and connections, they are able to attend these invite only parties:

Fontainebleau, in South Beach, is the site of ESPN The Magazine’s Next Event Party on Friday February 5th at 10pm. Keri Hilson and Ne-Yo are scheduled to perform and Laurence Fishburne, Mark Sanchez,  Jennifer Love Hewitt, Matt Kemp, Brooke Hogan, Jeremy Shockey, Lennox Lewis, Braylon Edwards, Shawne Merriman, Tim Tebow are rumored to be attending.

The Audi Super Bowl Party on Friday February 5th will be held at the W Hotel in South Beach and Jessica Alba, Taylor Lautner, Hilary Swank and Chad Henne are all attending. Mainly consisting of celebrity invites, this party should bring Hollywood to Miami for the weekend.

Lastly on Saturday February 6th, the night before the big game, The Maxim Super Bowl Party, which guests attend by invite only, brings out the hottest celebrities and athletes. It starts at 10pm at The Raleigh Hotel in South Beach. This event is one of the most popular and highly anticipated parties of the weekend.

Regardless of where you are staying, you should be sure to check out these parties, and for those that are invite only, at least bring a camera and casually stroll by the location to take some unforgettable and most likely candid pictures of celebrities and athletes alike.
