Miami is a major city in south-eastern Florida, in the United States. Miami and the surrounding metropolitan area are situated on northern Biscayne Bay between the Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean. Miami is sometimes called "The Gateway of the Americas." Florida's large Spanish-speaking population and strong economic ties to Latin America also make Miami and the surrounding region an important center of the Hispanic world. The city is also home to a vibrant music scene, and is considered to be a clubber's mecca. Its neighboring city Miami Beach is home to some of the world's most famous nightclubs, such as Mansion, Twilo, Ink, Cameo, Space, and Opium Garden, and is also the site of the annual Winter Music Conference - the largest dance music event in the world.
