| - Been to this club one time prior, saw Calvin Harris during the spring of 2014 and really liked the club but couldn't make it back to the dance floor after leaving in the middle of Calvin's set-it was crazy packed and on a Saturday-but for good reason because of how new this club was to the strip.
Hakkasan gets 5 stars this time around. Wow. Came here for the Thursday of their Anniversary Weekend and Tiesto was playing. The club is the most beautiful on the strip-I even like it just a bit more than Omnia, and that is due to the bartenders and overall service, which, after reading other reviews I'm shocked people have had such negative experiences.
Got here around 11 to check out the talent, (so many beautiful women here looking to have a good time) establish rapport with whoever would be handling my tab, and to get a prime spot on the dance floor to see Tiesto. Stephanie was a great bartender-courteous as ever and took care of my group all night. Bouncers were friendly. I personally hate waiting in lines and will say that even the guest list and bottle service lines was ridiculously long for a Thursday. If you have a ticket they literally whisk you inside-just my opinion, but highly recommend buying one really early to avoid the ticket prices going up during the same week.
I have an idea as to why this club has gotten horrible reviews, but can tell you from my experience, it couldn't be further from the truth. Honestly, all of these reviews are probably the best thing to happen to Hakkasan in order to weed out all of the fake EDM clubbing people that only want to go to a club just for the sake of being in this city. Just to give you an example: I went to XS the next night to see Guetta (XS has a way better Yelp rating) SUCH a different vibe and was well below Hakkasan in terms of the venue, dance floor, beautiful people, and value, as well as for all of the pros I just discussed. In reality, if you're a huge EDM fan like me, you don't even need a table to have an amazing night here. Highly recommend this place for a fun group!
