text: Before I start I will say this I do not like clubs I am years old and not single So there is no reason for me to be there That said this review is in no way influenced by that factnni was a huge raver from circa starting with deep house around until eventually becoming a total hardcore gabberhead raver that would wear masks with the word house in a circle with a line thru it so even though i do not currently listen to EDM leisurely i still can enjoy and appreciate that scene And i have been for years still when certain friends want to do that for the nightnnAnd i know the deal loud house music that leaves your ears ringing for days i used to be a speakerhugging Gabberhead super tightly packed groups of humans hot sweaty and lots of pushing shoving uninvited contact and sometimes out of control emotionsnnBut still Hakkasan Holy shit maybe it is because I Am mids and a father now that i think more about the fire hazard before i think about the energy But all i could think was if we needed to get the fuck outta here like NOW we would all be trampled in a huge bloody mess but i was still able to have SOME fun But that is also because I chose tonnIts real easy to lose your cool at this place and let it ruin your night I chose to just go with it the majority of my party did not have the same thought tho Understandably sonnAll the reviews you will read on this place are spoton no doubt about it And i probably brought that up about times last night when we attended Hakkasan Like Yep the reviews all said it would be like this and Yep i totally expected this but even with all that i was STILL shockednnThey pack people in there like CRAAZY And i mean it is so packed that NOBODY has a chance INCLUDING staff INCLUDING VIPs nobody It is so bad that i was feeling sorry for the staff thinking holy shit and to think these people have to do this EVERY night My god Id go insane one elevator attendant even said Bro you do not even want to know i said Fuck NO i do not want to know i have seen enoughnni know i have not really gotten to a real review of this place yet but look it is what it is Its SUPER packed A Jameson and soda is There is no place to walk sit and BARELY stand You will be touching at LEAST one other person at all times whether you know them or not and at some moments people might even mistake you for a brick wall and just lean their entire body weight on younnI think you can STILL salvage your night and have a good time if you go there already EXPECTING this Because believe me you will not be disappointed But I still gave it star because well this place sucks hahannOh and dress code you CAN wear sneakers You have a way better chance if your sneakers are paired with a collared shirt or some type of creative hipsterish outfit Use your best judgement You know what these bouncers who have the same attitude with their authority as a TSA agent look for in peoplennAnd yes forget about General Admission or Guest List etc buy presale get there at you will be in super fast and you can have a chance to enjoy the place for about minutes before it gets dangerously packed I did not get any asshole vibes from the bartenders the staff was relatively cool especially for their work environment and the worst thingpeople you will have to deal with are drunk douchebags on the dance floornnIf you plan on dancing plan on dancing in one fixed spot most likely just jumping straight up and down and not without bumping someone constantly Do not be a dick when you are there MOVE if people are trying to get by and be POLITE when YOU ARE trying to get by Remember that nobody else is happy there except for the DJs after they cash their Million paycheck lol and that you CAN have a good time if you just allow yourself tonnStill tho star fuck this place haha Dangerous as hell expensive as hell Vegas is too big to squeeze into one little hole like this one
