From the heated sand floor to the fire pits and private cabanas, all intermixed with the sparkling sights of Downtown, The W has created the possibility for Gaslamp and beach lovers to have their cake and eat it too. Though the drink prices conform to downtown standards, one would definitely be missing the entire experience without once trying the Citron my Face or A Day at the Beach while shimmying to the tunes of DJ Frankie on Fridays or DJ Chino on Saturdays...
