When the 2012 Republican National Convention rolls into town on August 27 and sets up shop for a near-week here in Tampa, you can bet you'll find some officials and maybe, if you're lucky and diligent, a few recognizable faces throughout the restaurants, bars, and nightclubs in the Tampa Bay area.

Prana in Ybor City, one of Tampa's biggest and best nightclubs, is already gearing up for the huge event and transforming itself into the Republican National Convention Party Headquarters for the week of the convention.

Prana is one of Ybor City's most massive nightclubs boasting five different levels of live music, entertainment, drinks, dancing, and more right in the heart of this bustling nightlife district.

Levels one and two house Prana's lounge and mezzanine.  These areas are good if you're just looking to kick back with a drink or two and enjoy the company of your friends or whoever you decide to bring along.

Level three is called The Sanctuary.  This is reserved for VIP guests only, but will provide an elegant, upscale experience unmatched by any club in Tampa if you're looking to go all out.

Level four is the club level.  If you're looking to break it down and get your moves on amidst a fun, futuristic setting with lights, lasers, and more, then this is the level to be on.

And last, but not least, is the sky bar on the rooftop of Prana.  Enjoy a magificent 360 degree view of the Tampa Bay area while enjoying all the great drinks and accomodations Prana has to offer.

So, Republicans, partygoers, anyone looking for a good time when the RNC rolls around; check out Prana, the Republican National Convention Party Headquarters this August.
