The original Hakkasan was a restaurant in London

A quick peek at Hakkasan’s clubbing ethos would make one think this bad boy has Ibizan roots. But the megaclub we know today started out in London’s bustling dining industry in 2001. 

This should come as no surprise considering its founder, Alan Yau, is one of the British capital’s most influential chefs and restaurant entrepreneurs.

The main source of inspiration behind the clubbing destination’s name was Yau’s childhood.

Through the name Hakkasan, the entrepreneur paid homage to his roots. Yau and his family are originally from China, so when they immigrated to British lands, they were considered ‘hakka’. The second part of the name – ‘san’ – is a title used to show a deep respect towards a person in Japan. 

Hakkasan Las Vegas spans across five stories

Embodying some mini-festival vibes, Hakkasan is also dubbed as the largest Las Vegas club. But just like any other trailblazer, the party temple didn’t stop at one title – Hakkasan also ranks amongst the biggest clubs in the United States.

The masterfully-curated design allows clubbers to completely immerse themselves in a clubbing session like no other.

Featuring five floors and 7,500 sq m, Hakkasan is the visual image of what a $100 million looks like. A lounge, main room, pavilion, mezzanine, club and the iconic Hakkasan Grid are all part of the package, giving this music mecca a 360 approach when it comes to nightlife experiences. 

The massive club can fit 7,000 people

Considering its generous space, it is only natural that Hakkasan is nestled in MGM Grand, the largest hotel in Sin City.

If you have no clue how hefty the glitzy hotel is, think about the White House – but make it bigger. The club features a jaw-dropping capacity of 7,000 clubbers, but it seems like Hakkasan has no problem filling its dancefloors and VIP booths.

It is no secret that in Sin City, everything is EDM-infused. But Hakkasan seems to be the most iconic emblem of electronic beats’ ascendancy.

With some of the most talented music heroes behind the audio decks and an ear-splitting sound system (in the good sense of it), the Las Vegas nightclub firmly keeps its position as a trailblazers for the city’s electronic sound.
