Monster Jam – REVIEW
Monster Jam Thrills in Sunrise with a Night of Roaring Engines and Jaw-Dropping Stunts.
August 11th, 2024
Monster Jam roared into Sunrise, FL, and brought with it a lineup of eight beastly trucks that had fans on the edge of their seats. The night was packed with adrenaline-pumping events, including racing, a two-wheel skills challenge, and the ever-popular freestyle competition. The trucks—Kraken, Just Get Er Done II, Excaliber, El Toro Loco, ThunderROARus, Monster Mutt Dalmatian, Megalodon, and the legendary Grave Digger—put on a show that left the crowd cheering for more.
What made this Monster Jam event even more special was the presence of two incredible female drivers, one of whom happens to be the sister of Excaliber’s driver. It’s not just the monster trucks that steal the show; the drivers bring their unique flair and skills to the table, making each event feel fresh and unpredictable. And as a bonus, the halftime show featured daredevil motorcyclists launching off ramps, pulling off tricks that had everyone in awe.
The emcees kept the energy high throughout the night, engaging with the audience and keeping the excitement levels through the roof. A unique twist at this event was that the scoring wasn’t left to judges but handed over to the fans. The crowd got to go online, enter a code for the night’s events, and score each driver after every performance. This interactive element made the event feel even more unscripted and thrilling, with the audience actively shaping the outcome.
The stunts pulled off by these massive machines were nothing short of spectacular. Trucks soared through the air, balanced on two wheels, and in an unforgettable moment, Monster Mutt Dalmatian executed a flip that had the entire arena buzzing. Watching drivers skillfully balance their trucks on two wheels and maneuver them forward and backward up and down inclines, was mind-blowing.
While Grave Digger took home the win for the night with consistent performances across all events, it was Monster Mutt Dalmatian‘s epic flip during the freestyle competition that stole the show. Driven by a woman, this daring move was the highlight of the evening and had everyone talking.
By the end of the night, Monster Jam had the entire audience on their feet, cheering and clapping for more. The crowd was a diverse mix of all ages, with many young fans sporting earmuffs and wearing their favorite truck’s merchandise. It’s clear that Monster Jam has something for everyone, making it an ideal event for families.
After experiencing the electrifying action firsthand, I’m already planning my trip to the Monster Jam World Championships next year in Salt Lake City over the July 4th weekend. If Monster Jam rolls into your town, do yourself a favor and get tickets—you won’t want to miss it!

Between flying queens, strong pours, and a room full of Pride week energy, Palace turned Friday night into one of the hottest parties on Ocean Drive.
April 11, 2026
During Miami Beach Pride Week, plenty of venues try to capture the moment, but Palace Bar made Friday night feel like the place everyone wanted to be. The Haus of Gucci Ball brought together drag, fashion, nightlife, and the kind of high energy crowd that made the whole evening feel elevated from the start.
The atmosphere hit immediately. Palace was glowing, the music kept the room alive, and the crowd was fully locked in. It felt vibrant, glamorous, and very Miami Beach. More than just a dinner outing, the night unfolded like a full Pride experience on Ocean Drive.
The clear highlight was a queen whose acrobatic performance completely took over the room. She moved with an incredible mix of strength, control, and confidence, turning the floor into her stage and delivering a routine that felt both dazzling and deeply seductive. At one point, she was flipping around on a man with such effortless precision that the whole crowd seemed to stop at once. It was captivating, sexy, and easily one of the most memorable moments of the night.
The food and drinks absolutely kept up. We had the filet bites and tuna tostones, both perfect for sharing between performances, along with skinny margaritas and lemon drops that were dangerously easy to drink. And yes, Palace was pouring strong, which only added to the fun. The cocktails matched the mood of the night perfectly: bold, smooth, and hard to stop ordering.
What makes Palace Bar work so well during Miami Beach Pride is that the energy never drops. The performers are not just part of the background. They pull the whole room in. The crowd responds, the music keeps moving, and the night keeps building. That kind of momentum is exactly what makes an event feel worth showing up for.
The Haus of Gucci Ball was one part of Palace Bar’s larger Miami Beach Pride Week programming, which has helped make the venue one of the biggest draws on Ocean Drive this week. With events spanning multiple days, Palace has become a go to destination for people looking for drag performances, nightlife, rooftop energy, DJs, and a crowd that wants to celebrate Pride in full.
That is what makes Palace such a fixture during Miami Beach Pride Week. It is not just about location or history. It is about creating nights that actually feel exciting once you are there. Friday night’s Haus of Gucci Ball had the glamour, the chemistry, the performances, and the kind of atmosphere that kept people fully engaged from beginning to end.
If you were at Palace Bar on Friday night, you already know how good it was. If you missed it, this was one of those Miami Beach Pride nights worth hearing about.
