Casual, chic and sensual, these full moon parties make you feel like a VIP. No velvet ropes, no cover charge, $5 valet parking and such fun that Condé Nast Traveler named it “The Party” in Fort Lauderdale.

From Russia with Love…Escape the spy games for an evening rendezvous September 13, where the ‘007’ pool deck is transformed into a moonlit lounge with music by Agent Rob Riggs, oversized telescopes to spot the Soviets in the distance (or view the moon rise above the Atlantic), tarot card readers, well-priced gourmet light bites and $8 specialty cocktails “shaken, not stirred.”

This month’s Full Moon party benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (www.cff.org) and the upcoming Taste of South Florida event to be held at The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale, featuring the area’s star chefs, including Via Luna’s Executive Chef Christian Clair. Register for the September 24th gala or donate $10 to the organization and receive a complimentary cocktail.
