Not everyone could have been at Maxim’s Karma International-presented Halloween bash last Saturday to see Nick Jonas perform (dressed as the Hamburgler), drink Stoli Vodka cocktails and hang with Justin Bieber (unless you’re a Haute Living aficionado and could afford the $1000+ entrance fee, that is), but the good news is that Saturday the 31st—the actual evening of Halloween—is your chance for redemption. Here are the best places to party this Halloween in Los Angeles.
