Ocean Casino Resort’s HQ2 Nightclub and Beachclub Receives Worldwide Recognition for Safety and Fun Return to BlogPublished: December 2024 The beat of the bass, the vibe of the crowd, and the flash of the lights are all key to an unforgettable nightclub experience. Your security, however, is likewise a major concern when heading out for a night on the town. Luckily, at Ocean Casino Resort’s HQ2 Nightclub and Beachclub, you never have to sacrifice a sensational time for your own personal safety. Our unmatched taste in performers combined with our strict security measures mean that you can truly lose yourself to dance without having to worry about anything else. HQ2 Nightclub and Beachclub is so secure and spectacular, in fact, that we’re one of two clubs on Earth to receive the International Nightlife Association’s Triple Excellence award for safety. Plus, we’ve once again landed on their list of the world’s 100 best clubs—and we’re even closer to the top than last year! About The International Nightlife Association The International Nightlife Association (INA) is the world’s largest reviewer and representative of entertainment venues. They’re partnered with the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and scour the globe in search of the best: Restaurants Bars Nightclubs Lounges Sky bars Beach clubs Similar spaces The INA is focused on promoting safety, quality, and excellence within nightlife venues. In essence, they have the final word in determining which spots are worth checking out and which are better skipped—much like the famous Michelin guide does for food. This year, they’ve bestowed a few glowing accolades on HQ2 Nightclub and Beachclub. The Triple Excellence Award and The World’s 100 Best Clubs The INA’s Triple Excellence Award recognizes the world’s safest clubs. As mentioned, only two venues have ever received the honor—and the other is on the other side of the globe in Australia. To judge safety within nightlife spaces, the INA audits clubs’ security measures while looking out for: Licensing – The INA checks that all staff have the proper credentials for their jobs—including security, servers, performers, and more. Detection – Metal detectors, pat-downs, and other pre-entry security screenings are on the list of search measures to maximize guest safety. Prevention – A carefully-tuned sound system protects your ears against damage. Measured entry policies prevent overcrowding. StopTopps, covers designed to go over the mouth of an open glass, prevent anyone from tampering with drinks. Ethics – Discrimination, violence, and scamming are all off the table at Triple Excellence venues. These are but a few of the factors the INA looks out for to ensure everyone who enters a Triple Excellence-awarded club leaves safe and happy—but maybe a little sore from dancing so long. When the INA decides on their global top 100 clubs list, they consider fun, safety, and a variety of other concerns to make their rankings. This year, HQ2 Nightclub and Beachclub earned the 13th spot worldwide—a few notches up from our previous position of 16th in 2023. This coveted ranking puts HQ2 Nightclub and Beachclub ahead of nightlife venues in the world’s most infamous clubbing destinations, including: Ibiza, Spain Las Vegas Miami Brazil London Germany We’re thrilled with our position on this year’s rankings—but we’re always thirsty for more. Check back in 2025 as we dance our way even closer to the number-one spot!
