“On any given night, club-goers can dance into the early hours of the morning to the beats of internationally renowned DJs like Tiësto, Calvin Harris, Afrojack and Steve Aoki”, says a reviewer and he is perfectly right. Hakkasan is one of the best nightclubs, if not the best, in the famous sin city that promises an all-encompassing experience – from dance floor to restaurant to world class hotel residence.
Situated at 3799 South, Las Vegas Boulevard, the Hakksan nightclub is the bravest and probably the finest establishment of the esteemed global restaurant’s brand MGM Grand. Hakkasan nightclub is placed majestically in a five storied space inside the MGM Grand Hotel, which promises a unique and different experience in each of the floor and can be accessed from the casino floor across from the poker room.
Collaboratively designed by some world famous firms, Hakkasan offers an ambient and soothing experience all over the floors creating a beautiful mini world in the big bad world of Las Vegas. The first two floors are dedicated to the Hakkasan restaurants. The first level provides the main dining area. The area consists of cages, made from elegant latticed woodwork that provide a certain level of personification while enjoying the whole atmosphere. The main bar entails 17 seating areas which are absolutely perfect for a cocktail or casual dining. Going over the second floor, the guests can experience a private dining overlooking the main dining room. Equipped with accent chairs and plush couches, the private dining room is perfect for relaxation and socialization. The whole restaurant is engulfed with the ambience of brand signature color blue and headed by the Michelin-starred Chef Ho Chee Boon and his team.
However, this is Vegas, and we are not satisfied until and unless we know about what they have on offer for our nightlife experience. Tension not, as the first ever Hakkasan Nightclub has been no short of fun, and booze, and music. Rising above the restaurant, the nightclub is spread over the massive three floors and equipped with a lavish lounge area, a mesmerizing outdoor garden bar and a huge dance floor designed with world class DJ experience in mind.
The third floor features the Ling Ling Club, a massive 10,000 square foot club that unveils at the beginning of your nightlife experience. The club is designed in cohesion with the famous Hakkasan DNA philosophy – with vibrant use of blue and equipped with a mammoth 24 private seating area, two bars and a custom DJ booth at the front. Don’t want to enter the club yet? Relax at the more intimate Ling Ling Lounge adjacent to the club on the same floor. This captivating lounge has a vibrant red treatment which entails with 11 VIP booths along with the mix of an open lounge seating and a custom DJ booth. Fed up with the concrete establishment and lights? Stroll in the oriental garden adjacent to the main nightclub in order to experience a refreshing outdoor feel. Although an extension to the main nightclub, the garden is equipped with its very own amphitheater style setting, the garden bar and a DJ booth.
Finally, we are here, the ecstatic main dance floor of the Hakkasan Nightclub. The whole compound of the fourth and fifth floor of the MGM Grand is dedicated for the main dance floor. The stunning DJ area which always features some world class DJ’s around the world is positioned at the forefront of the main nightclub. The DJ area is comprised of a custom DJ booth and a suspended platform for performance. The whole DJ space is engulfed with a stunning LED screen going from floor to the ceiling. The main dance floor, which booms with energy and sound is surrounded by oversized VIP booths for the guests who loves to be at the center of the action. The overwhelming attention to detail which made the MGM Grand famous at the first place can also be experienced here, as the main nightclub also contains a mezzanine for guests who likes a bit more privacy. The mezzanine is on the fifth floor of the building with a bird’s eye view of the main dance floor and the same sound experience.
Like we mentioned at the beginning, this is the nightclub of the likes of Tiesto, Steve Aoki and Calvin Harris. The DJ duo Dada Life also appears on the floor occasionally. The club has a creative collaboration in place with many of the world greatest DJs ensuring the appearance of Cassidy, DJ Irie and Questlove and many more in its scintillating dance floor. People around the world comes here for a reason and the celebrities too, creating a once in a lifetime experience in each of your visit.
The club opens at 10:00 pm on Thursday, Friday and Sunday while opening at 9:00 pm Saturday and remains open until the morning. If you are longing for bomb busting experience with celebrated artists, high profile celebrities and heart piercing sound, and if you have enough money to spare, this is the one nightclub you must be visiting in the famous Las Vegas Strips, as there aren’t many available as big and as bad as Hakkasan. Just remember to wear casual business dresses while visiting.
