Ben Bethel knows how to throw a party -- especially one with costumes, dance floors, and kickass views. This year, the owner of the Clarendon Hotel is gearing up for his 20th Annual Halloween Bash, and he's bringing along DJ William Reed, Lorenzo Coleman, and the Grand Canyon Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to help celebrate the spookiest holiday of the year.

On the docket: a tribute to Michael Jackson, a costume contest along the Clarendon's poolside catwalk, a late-night dance playlist, and convenient hotel-room specials for when you want to call it a night.
