OUT OF THIS WORLD NIGHTCLUB

Stepping in to the Palm Beach Casino in Cannes and you are stepping into another world.

It is glamor all the way and as I prepare for my second trip ever to the Cannes festival I absolutely cannot wait to return to this iconic club.

I will never forget my first visit a few years ago now. There are loads of different rooms, private VIP areas , one we were invited into, I remember plush purple velvet upholstery where the champagne was flowing, 10-12 bottles in each enormous ice bucket, it was unreal.

The dance floor was completely packed with semi naked trapeze artists hanging from the ceiling on massive hula hoops doing their thing.

The whole outside area was like the Sky Bar at the Mondrian on Sunset except no pool, lots of loungers as no smoking inside.

It is dark, loaded with good looking people and impossible to get to the bar, (unless you are with someone with pull and the bartenders ear) but a totally amazing experience none the less.

This place has played host to all the big stars and you never know who you might bump into, we were hanging out with Busta Rhymes. Neyo's playing this year.

If you are staying on or near the Croisette, the main strip that runs the length of the ocean it is easy to find, face the ocean, turn left and keep walking, about a mile or two out of town but very easy to find your way home at 7am when you've danced the night away, your feet are all blistered up and there are no taxis in sight.

This time around, best laid plans, to find someone with a limo to book a ride home with, there will be plenty of options in there.
