| - Never again.
I was actually quite excited to see Calvin Harris at Hakkasan. Everyone is always raving about this club, and I've heard that CH can do no wrong.
Wrong.
First off, what is up with these stairs? There are flights and flights of BLACK stairs. This is a riot death waiting to happen. At the end of the night, drunk girls in heels were descending these in droves, and I kept imagining my untimely death in an emergency. I guess you can wait for one of the elevators, but you might just wait there for the rest of your life.
The dance floor is almost completely unregulated. It is a sardine can. It's almost impossible to dance, and there are people trying to knock you over every two seconds. You are literally being pushed for the entirety of your time there. You can't even stand up straight. Then, drunk idiots start jumping up and down and going crazy when there is absolutely no room to do so.
Terrible.
People dump their drinks all over the floor because they don't want to deal with trying to leave the floor and coming back through all the madness. Your feet will be wet and you will be slipping on and kicking glasses and bottles.
Two girls got into a fight in the first 30 minutes we were there. Ghetto.
I swear everyone was farting.
Disgusting.
I don't know if it was just the crowd, but the vibe was off. 90% of the people weren't dancing. Yes, there was barely any room, but even the people on other landings weren't dancing either. Were they all just Calvin Harris fans wanting to watch his dj-ing? I don't get it.
When I went to go to the bathroom, I was denied entrance back onto the floor. Wtf? Luckily, I made friends with one of the staff who let me back through. So, tip, if you want to stay on the dance floor, make sure you don't have anything to drink, because the bathrooms are not accessible from the floor and you'll be @$$ed out. Or, you can do what I did and make friends.
None of us had fun. It was a bummer of an evening that almost made us want to stay in the following night (one girl in our group actually did) and none of us want to ever return. Luckily, Omnia was a total blast.
I don't get how people adore this club and talk smack about XS. I'd go there any day of the week over this hellhole.
