We had a pleasure to sit down and talk with Miami's nightlife and hospitality royalty and legend - Alan Roth.
Alan is a true veteran when it comes to Miami's hospitality. He went from working at an iconic Delano Hotel to opening the popular Rosa Sky Rooftop, along with Giselle on top of the famous club E11EVEN.
Check out this podcast where Alan talks about how Miami's nightlife has changed over the decades, his new projects, and his craziest stories from working in hospitality for over 30 years, including smoking with the legendary Wilt Chamberlain.
Enjoy!
