Hakkasan

Top choice in Las Vegas


At this lavish Asian-inspired nightclub, international jet-set DJs such as Tiësto and Steve Aoki rule the jam-packed main dance floor bordered by VIP booths and floor-to-ceiling LED screens. More offbeat sounds spin in the intimate Ling Ling Club, revealing leather sofas and backlit amber glass.

Bouncers enforce the dress code: upscale nightlife attire (no athletic wear, collared shirts required for men).
