New Orleans is usually hotter than hell, and it’s going to stay that way until Halloween. Halloween XXX is one of the cities biggest celebrations, and Descent, a smoldering party based on Dante’s “seductive and riotous” journey through hell, is its penultimate party. The risque and riotous costumes abound are sure to cause the house to swell and maybe even burst at its seams.

You won’t find skinny nerds or Google Glass at this massive San Francisco circuit party named after a video game. Instead, get ready to take a journey through history with costumed, Grade-A go-go studs as your guide. If booze, extravagant costumes and a multi-story venue (Mezzanine) aren’t enough, expect a pupil-dilating LED light show to highlight your evening.
