Roger Sanchez rips it in this incredible version of Together at a private party hosted by Belvedere Vodka at the W Hotel in Miami Beach on March 25,2011.The party was around the exclusive private pool area - though a few Spring Breakers managed to sneak in. Hundreds of thousands of people were in town to rave at the 3 day Ultra Music Festival. Be sure to watch the video in 1080p for maximum quality.
Afterwards, Junior Sanchez takes over. Be sure to watch the video in 1080p for maximum quality.
On Saturday, after battling monster traffic jams ,Miami Conquistador returned to the W to catch Ruckus on stage.
The Party scene lasted until dark. Belvedere Vodka provided delicious refreshments. At that point Miami Conquistador moved on to a high rise parry over looking Ultra itself. Pictures to follow.
The storms early this afternoon did not stop the Spring Break and Ultra-Hip crowds from coming to Nikki Beach today. The Electric Beach party is in full effect until 5 AM.
As the weather improves, the party will spill out onto the sands.
Once again the Winter Music Conference has come to Miami Beach. It started Wednesday and goes through the weekend.This year it's about 3 weeks earlier than in recent years and will not coincide with Ultra. Ultra is on the last weekend of the month.

Art Basel officially opens tomorrow, but Miami Conquistador will be on the scene this evening to preview the latest and greatest on the world art market. This year, with the economy already looking up ( Miami is always ahead of the curve ) , the art and social scene will heat up to levels of years past, much more so than last year's more subdued environment.
Miami Conquistador will update hourly beginning this evening, so stay tuned !
