Haha! Just to be clear, there's nothing wrong with 60+ year old North Americans - some of them can be a lot more fun to hang out with than many people my own age.
But for instance at the St. Regis Bali I just felt a bit out of place... It was clear that they were catering to a very difference audience (in that case, mostly 60+, rich Russians).
And given the price tag of most parties, I'd think that the other guests will probably be at least my age, probably significantly older.
I would like to be at a party with fun people, modern music (either local music or EDM/house music) and good drinks. If the other participants happen to be 60+, I'm fine with that.

Except most concerts I've been to had an audience significantly smaller than 2 million.
I'm really torn on this - on one hand I think maybe I'm overthinking this and we'd have the time of our lives on the beach.
And then I think that I actively avoid the large crowds back at home because I just don't like standing there for hours (especially in cold weather), there's too little space to move comfortably and everybody is super drunk. I don't know if I would enjoy that situation more if I had to watch out for pickpockets on top of that...
Normally I'd say I'll just fly down there, have a look at the general atmosphere in the city and then make a decision.
But I'm a bit worried the good parties will be sold out by then?
