We had a failed experience at Hakkasan Nightclub. I rarely give out "1 star" in my Yelp reviews, but I think this situation warranted it. My friend got us on the guest list for this nightclub, which seems to be all the rage these days in Vegas. The club promoter who put us on the guest list assured us that we would be able to get in before midnight. We got to the line at around 10:30pm and proceeded to stand in the line for about 1.5 hours. Even the guest line was ridiculously long, and no one updated us on how long it might take. We finally got to a section of the line where the promoters came over to talk to us. It was around midnight at this point and the club promoter told us that the guest list was now closed. It would have been nice know that they were going to close the guest list sometime in the 1.5 hours we were standing in line. It was all pointless. The club promoter said that we could still get in if we each paid $50. And the price for guys to get in was $125. Um, no thank you. I can do a lot more with $50 than go to a nightclub in Vegas. And I've always gotten into the other Vegas night clubs for free. My friends and I assumed that getting on the guest list a day in advance would ensure that. But nope, apparently it does not. Some of us ended up leaving and 3 of our friends decided to suck it up and stay. They had to wait in line for an additional 1.5 hours after we left, so they didn't actually get in until around 1:30am. They did watch some of Calvin Harris' performance there, but they were only there for about an hour or two. Definitely not worth the $50 per person! I'm glad I decided to leave (and a lot of others in the line made the same decision we made).
We ended up going elsewhere. I doubt I'd try to visit again - this place is too disorganized and guests really are not treated with courtesy.
