Miami Beach Art Deco Historic District · Site of Gianni Versace's 1997 murder (Casa Casuarina) · The Betsy Hotel, open since the late 1920s
US Ghost Adventures markets its Miami-area program as "Miami Haunts," with a dedicated white-label site at miamihaunts.com. Both of its bookable Miami products meet in the South Beach Art Deco Historic District: the roughly 1-hour Menace, Murder & Malice walking tour begins outside the Art Deco Welcome Center at 1001 Ocean Drive, across from Lummus Park, and covers the Betsy Hotel (open since the late 1920s), Casa Casuarina (the former Versace Mansion), and The Tides Hotel. The Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl runs a separate roughly 2-hour route to Lummus Park, Onyx Bar, The Tides Hotel, and Tropezon Bar, with one included drink at each stop.
Independent listings on TripAdvisor and GetYourGuide for both products, with current reviews and ratings through 2026, corroborate that the Miami Haunts program is actively operating. This is a chain program under the same US Ghost Adventures Inc. that operates similarly branded tours in dozens of U.S. cities.

ApparitionsUnexplained ActivityReported Hauntings
The operator ties reported activity at the Betsy Hotel to the building's decades as a wartime-service hotel. At Casa Casuarina, the operator's marketing centers on the documented 1997 murder of fashion designer Gianni Versace, shot on the mansion's front steps by Andrew Cunanan; the operator frames this as a haunting, describing an "encounter with the ghost of Versace himself." The Tides Hotel and Mac's Club Deuce are described by the operator as carrying decades of South Beach nightlife and wartime history tied to reported unexplained activity.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
