| - Went to Hakkasan (formerly Studio 54) during its opening weekend last year... I must say it's probably my favorite new club to party in Las Vegas. Place is massive. 5 floors, isnt it?? You can get lost in there. In a different way than getting lost inside Marquee. The sound and the lighting in both the main room & the Ling Ling are really good... really good. I'm sure they spared no expense. To me, it has raised the bar in Vegas nightlife experience.
Fortunate enough to have a friend of a friend that works there as a VIP host so he set us up with our bottle service reservation inside the Ling Ling. The Ling Ling room is downstairs and is primarily known as the hip hop room. The night we went we had DJ Krooked from Skam Artist crew spinning. We're lucky enough to have some friends that are DJs under the Skam management so they were able to tell Krooked to shout out my friend for his bachelor party. Good times. The music was good. The bottle service hosts we had were super cool, not to mention, beautiful... One nice thing they thought of at Hakkasan was that at our table in the Ling Ling, the seats had storage space under for the ladies purses.. and phone charger connections for EVERY phone imaginable. Hell yesss!! Everyone knows, by that time of the night/morning in Vegas... your phone is dying, if not, already dead. I truly believe they thought of every thing when they designed this club.
We had friends that same night who had bottle reservations above the main room who had Laidback Luke performing that night. We went to go check it out and it was also amazing. The music being played, the laser/light show, the performers on stage, the performers/dancers above the stage, etc.. Everything was top notch. Im sure bottle reservations in the main room are much more than the Ling Ling and for some people it is more than worth it. I can see why.
That was my first time at Hakkasan... We went again in November and once again got bottle service in the Ling Ling through our connect there. And once again our bottle hostesses were super cool and super lovely. We had a great time... If it wasnt for the homie discount, I'm not sure we would be getting bottle service every time, as I know it can get insanely pricey depending who the headliner is for the night. Tiesto, Calvin Harris & Avicii are all resident DJs there. Now I am in now way an EDM junkie but even I know those are the heavy hitters. The night we were there the Ling Ling had DJ Gusto, another Skam Artist DJ. The main room was Dada Life. Music inside the Ling Ling was really good playing that typical Vegas Top 40 hip hop & some classics mixed in. We went to check out the main room and Dada Life had the crowd going insane. Found myself on the main room dance floor and the energy was amazing. Gotta love Vegas for that....
Check Hakkasan out. My advice. Get bottle reservations. The line to get in on a busy night in which a big name DJ is performing or if it's a fight weekend will be ridiculous. I highly suggest getting a table, if not... Buy pre-paid tickets. Too much stress going on. Too hectic... You'll see. Still... Gotta love it tho. Hakkasan is great classic Vegas times... Cant wait to go back.
We want DJ SKRATCHY in the Ling Ling room, please... And more of DJ VICE in the main room.
