South Beach Days Inn. $114 rooms available.

Arrived in Miami Tuesday afternoon. Visited the beach. Checked out the new sleek W Hotel, stocked with Warhols, Hirsts and other high-octane names. Rooms still available for the weekend, according to reception desk.

Enjoyed cocktails at the Betsy where passersby included Larry Warsh, Cristin Tierney and Suzanne Egeran. Last night attended crowded opening of the Art Miami fair where a mixed bag of exhibitors showed off wares.  Afterwards hit a cocktail party at the Rubell Family Collection. Mera Rubell sported a spiky black wig.
