- By Johnny Diaz Staff writer

It looks like MTV’s “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” is leaving Miami for Las Vegas for its next season.

The reality show filmed its current season in a twostory estate in Miami Beach in January and February and reunited cast members Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jennifer Lynn “Jenni” Farley, Deena Nicole Cortese, Paul DelVecchio, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.

The new season will be based in Las Vegas where the cast will be reunited again, according to social media reports and US Weekly.

The reality series, which originally debuted in 2008, returned April 5 as a family reunion show that followed the drunken brawls, hook ups and friendship­s of the cast.

The reboot has delivered good ratings for the cable network. The premiere drew 10 million total viewers, according to MTV.

The show created buzz in Miami Beach as cast members were seen partying along Ocean Drive and at Miami clubs. Thursday night’s episode followed the group as Bimini.

The waterfront house that the production rented at 4745 Pine Tree Drive in Miami Beach also made headlines because it’s in a section of the city where short-term rentals for less than six months and a day are illegal.

The city is known for aggressive­ly cracking down on short-term rental scofflaws who face $20,000 fines. Because of media inquiries, the city imposed a fine on the estate, which is owned by James Wieger, according to property records.

The show airs at Thursdays on MTV. they traveled to p.m.
