Ron DeSantis Threatens Miami Hotel’s Liquor License After Drag Show | Eater Miami

"Located in Downtown Miami, the Hyatt Regency Miami had its liquor license targeted by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on March 14 when he filed an administrative complaint through the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation alleging the hotel allowed minors to attend a holiday drag show affiliated with the property; the complaint prompted a December warning from the DBPR about hosting sexual content in front of minors. Amir Blattner, the hotel's general manager, said the event took place at the James L. Knight Center, which is managed by third-party operators while the hotel serves as the food and beverage concessionaire; he confirmed the hotel’s liquor license remains active and said Hyatt is reviewing the complaint and will handle the matter directly with the DBPR as part of the administrative review process. The hotel otherwise advertises luxurious accommodations, upscale services and flexible meeting space near attractions." - Olee Fowler
