| - WOW!!! Fergie was beyond amazing! So 5-Stars for this night. (going to rate this club on a per night vs. overall things). Overall it is a solid club, just know what you are gettiing in to when you go to a club to begin with. Girls for the love of God bring rolly-shoes with you no matter how comfortable your 6" stilettos are!! It's going to be crowded, you'll pay a fortune to sit unless you latch on to some one with a table, the drinks are going to be expensive ($20-$25/ea, $9-ish for water), it's smokey and there are always a fair number of creepers mixed in with the drunks and rollers, but it's the best time if you just go with it - follow the club rules, tip the bathroom attendants, be nice to security no matter what and watch the F where you walk, these clubs have tons of stairs why is beyond me.
Now on to this night's review...Haven't done the Sunday night thing in a Vegas club ever, but last night took a chance and went to Hakkasan courtesy of Dave Verosa (promoter - https://www.facebook.com/dave.verzosa?fref=nf (702) 481-5951) and we were so beyond glad we did. First things first, it is Easter Sunday night, not expecting a big crowd and there wasn't one. But, that turned out to be great because we explored the club something impossible on a crowded night. I found 2 more bathrooms - major plus!! Went into the Ling Ling Lounge for the 1st time and it was really cool. Lots of little table and couches to sit on and you didn't have to pay to sit (maybe that is only on a slow night, but didn't care - my feet were happy). About midnight they closed the lounge so upstairs we headed.
OMG the DJ was killing it; not Fergie yet, might have been DJ Shift, unsure. About 1:00am Fergie came on and the club went to a whole 'nother level. The light show as incredible, the videos played were memorizing and the combination of solid beats mixed with classical throwback snippets and current tracks really made the evening flow effortlessly. Wish you could post video after the fact on here, but I'll add some links and you can see for yourself! He even managed to get a 2:30am crowd to sing acapella 3 lines from Seedish House Mafia Don't You Worry Child without missing a word - TWICE! ... and "the City of Vegas" add in was hysterical and fired up the crowd in a great way.

Actually went up to the 5th floor for the 1st time. We usually nest in on the Pavilion Level back by the wall. I am fairly attached to the wall and like it there. Plenty of airflow, easy bathroom access and good lighting. The 5th floor was very cool actually. Really big tables/booths overlooking the stage and dance floor. You can also look down on to the white couch area on the 4th floor from here. They closed down this section around midnight and everyone went to the main dance floor area on the 4th floor which was perfectly fine with us.
We found a great spot where we could see everything and I could occasionally sneak a seat for a few minutes; can't ask for more than that. Spoke to a couple security guys over the course of the night and picked up a few tips etc. When it's busy no way you can talk to them, but tonight was different. Once they merged everyone down to the main floor, the club felt packed and the energy raced.
We saw our all time favorite security guy - Will. Why is he our favorite? Because we watched him very quickly, professionally and quietly handle a bad situation last year without being a jerk and without disrupting other people dancing around somewhat oblivious to the situation. He also helped me out when I had to navigate from out table main floor center to the bathroom and back on a Steve Aoki night. Thanks Will, you are awesome!! He has a great smile and represents the club really well; no BS guy, don't test him, but not a jerk at all. Something hard to come by in most clubs sadly. I can't imagine how hard it is to deal with thousands of wasted people in a club with a zillion stairs, sliding walls, flashing lights... security there does a good job. We're fun and friendly, so we probably have less negative encounters with security than our 20-something counterparts.
