Oz will transform your world every night; it’s almost like going from black-and white to color! Imagine that. If you can. Prepare yourselves for their first five theme nights: Tuesday - Space • A Night into the Galaxy, Wednesday - Fire • Into the Flames, Thursday - Vegas Nights, Friday - Tron • Explore the Legacy, and Saturday - Wonders of the World. Join Oz this spring with resident DJ, @djeyecon to welcome the next level of nightlife in Myrtle Beach. Free admission if you arrive in a hot air balloon. We’re kidding.
