The space at Atlanta's newest mega-club is way fab — a little South Beach, some Asian touches, set in a remodeled complex (or compound, OK) of warehouses off Howell Mill Road. It sprawls across two buildings and two courtyards, with 11,500 square feet inside and about 25,000 outside. There's a Japanese reflecting pool and garden outside. Indoors, a smoke-free lounge with ambient music and lighting, and, on one side of a courtyard, a large, dazzling dance room with beds and giant video screens lining the walls. The spaces mostly flow nicely from one to the next.

PRICE: Covers start at $10. (Memberships, currently $500, get you right in the door without a charge.) Other prices: premium well drinks, $6-$11. Most beers, $4-$5. Wines start at $5-$6 a glass. Club parking, $5-$10; some valet and self-parking.
