text: It had been a hot minute since I had been in Vegas but those in the know assured me that Hakkasan was THE place to be on the weekend I am always up for an all night dance party so I gladly paid ahead of time for a ticket to Calvin Harris on Saturday night Although I know it is possible for girls to get in free pretty much anywhere in Vegas to me this ticket was totally worth it to not have to worry about standing in ridiculous lines or bribing bouncers nnThe entry was confusing as there were several different security and promoter people who kept herding us to different areas and telling us different things about what we needed should we have our printed tickets out Is an email pulled up on a phone ok It took a while for everyone to finally get in the door because of all of the confusion nnOnce in I have to say I was surprised that the interior was not more exciting and over the top I expect big and bold and beautiful from Vegas clubs but what I saw was more like what an s nightclub would look like in movies with black everywhere and somewhat cheesy neon lights I also thought the layout was not smart as everyone is naturally directed to this one staircase to get to and from the dance floor and bars which of course meant that everything got extremely congested I know this is a hot club right now but the crowds were ridiculous I could barely move the whole night nnThese kinds of crowds also encourage theft Four girls out of about eight in my group of friends got their iPhones andor wallets stolen Now we are not talking about people carelessly leaving their purses in booths and wandering away These purses were on shoulders and one or more aholes were obviously using the crowd as a way to bump into people and dig in their bags Several girls all around me that I did not know also fell victim It was really hard to dance my booty off when every few minutes I heard some poor girl scream my phones gone Clutching my purse tightly to me I told several security guards all of whom nodded vaguely while avoiding eye contact I knew they were not telling anyone And of course no one returned our calls when we called their number that night and the next morning We were no longer their problem nnI know in Vegas it is not really about convenience but about the wild night and the scene you are a part of For that part of it Hakkasan did what I expected But when it comes to treating your customers right ones that are very likely to spread the word and come back and spend a lot of money if treated well they unfortunately failed miserably
