China White
109 S.W. Second Ave., Fort Lauderdale, 954/759-7047, www.chinawhitefortlauderdale.com

If you've ever wanted to party inside an elephant, here's your chance. China White takes VIP to a whole new level with its two-story, 40-foot elephant head, which was created by a Disney animatronics specialist. The second floor of the elephant comes complete with a private bar, PlayStation, stripper pole and killer bird's-eye view of the club. In the former Sutra location in Fort Lauderdale's Riverwalk, the Moulin Rouge-style palace is packed with lush velvet pillows, leopard rugs and Buddha statues. The bartenders and cocktail waitresses dress in tantalizing belly-dancing attire. Martinis from the club's "perfect 10" list cost about $14; if you'd like bottle service, that's $175 and up.
