| - As a new resident of Vegas, I have been to Hakkasan a good handful of times. Some nights were fun but most were ok. When both Light and Hakkasan were opening up this spring, I could tell that there was a huge buzz around Hakkasan. It was going to be THE place to be! I was super excited but then sadly disappointed by a few things...
1) It is difficult to see the DJ unless you want to be sardined on the dance floor or if you have a table... actually some of the less expensive tables are pretty far from the DJ and can't see either.
2) The crowd is a little bit pretentious for me or people who go there like to act that way because they are in Hakkasan. I got a similar vibe at Marquee. At other clubs I feel a little more relaxed (ie. Surrender, Light, even XS).
3) The layout and stairs are killer for heels. The stairs from the hip hop room feel never ending. The physical location of the club is on the opposite side of the hotel from the parking lot also! It's almost like you need to bring a separate pair of sandals for the walk to Hakkasan... parking lot, then stores, then across the casino.
I don't hate Hakkasan, don't get me wrong. Here is what I like about it.
1) Hakkasan is definitely a fancy club. When guys have to pay, they might feel like they are getting more for their money with a ticket to Hakkasan because it is such a big club. Tickets are expensive though for guys... it can get up to $75 depending on who is playing :/
2) Huge DJs! Tiesto, Calvin Harris, and Hardwell to name a few. I most recently saw Nervo there a few weeks ago. We waved at them from the dance floor and Liv waved back to us! So cool. This is where the superstar DJs play for sure.
3) The staff (bouncers, security guards, etc) are all realllly nice! I think that Hakkasan did a great job training their staff :)
I definitely have to pick and choose my nights at Hakkasan. I usually go for a certain DJ or if my friends from CA are going to Hakkasan. I don't think my feet or heels can survive too many visits in a row haha.
