Hakkasan vs light vs XS

[ratchelor]

I haven't been to vegas in two years, back than XS was the hottest club. Other than considering djs, what is currently the hottest club in Vegas that you would say someone NEEDS to experience? I'm assuming it's between XS, light and hakkasan? I'm sure we would have fun at any but really want to make sure we experience the best.

Any recommendations would be extremely helpful!

I'd say Light has the most buzz at the moment. Everyone that's been there is blown away.

Sorry bot nothing tops xs in terms of girls...
In a day paty for me its MDC when they have a good name playing.

so XS has the most / best looking ladies?

That's MY opinion...
Light has a really great show, great venue and i think everyone in vegas should go to the place cause its something totally different (hit Noah Ortiz, really good host if youre going there)
Hakkasan has the best dj's, venue costed around $150 mn so definitely worth seeing however i have some remarks on hakkasan. If you have a table is probably one of the best clubs but if you dont i wouldnt go there, very expensive and they treat you like shit, cant walk. Nothing of the above counts if you have a table, is probably one of the good places to have a table (very expensive tough) and also has some nice girls because the dj's attract the crowd.
But in matter of cost / benefit i'd go xs, they have the outside area (great in the summer so you can have some space) and still for ME is the club the attracts the hottest crowd in terms of girls...
I wouldnt leave marquee out of list, they re falling behind in djs but still have a great crowd also.

My advice would be XS (contact Bobby Y) others might disagree but for me best club hands down still....

Thanks, really appreciate that. We have done Tryst and Marquee, so will probably pick 2 of the 3 (Hakasan, XS, Light). Sounds like maybe XS and Light may be the move.

When are you going and how long? Why not all three?

If you are going in the summer - hit XS during night-swim on Sunday night. Then you can hit up Light and Hakassan on your "big" nights. It also depends on what you are looking to do - tables or just GA.

I have done tables at XS and Hakkasan. I have been to XS nearly every single trip (atleast once) since the first time I went to XS. They have top staff, woment and treatment. Bobby will hook you up - use him and treat him well. I feel like XS is the good old standard - not the newest/flashiest but is consistent and a very good time. Almost getting that "classic" flavor. I would do XS over HK if your only choice is GA.

Hakkasan in one word - intense. We have done tables inside and out at Marquee and I thought that intense. HK is another level. I had the pleasure of both GA (Tiesto) and a table (Hardwell) over NYE weekend. I would not do HK as GA again. It is slammed and impossible to get around when a big DJ is on stage. With a table the place was amazing. (I am getting spolied to the point that without a table I don't want to go). It is massive and the sound/light/effects are well integrated and make for a hardcore club night. There are several rooms to get a different vibe

Light - I would say that is a must "see." I have never been to a place quite like it. The technology is out of this world. We got a chance to swing in for Alesso and it was unreal. To mee it is set up kinda like an arena (like the box side of an NBA arena) facing the massive LED wall. Everything about the club is designed to "stimulate" visually and aurally. Simply because of the technology and truly a one-of-a-kind experince I would move this to the top of the list. Especially if there is a good DJ on the deck.

That is very helpful, thanks for the response.

We will only be there Friday and Sat night during EDC weekend, so can't do all 3. But sounds like Light is a must and XS will probably be the second.

How is Light for General Admission? Enough space? Hassle from security? We would probably presale it.

[ratchelor]

to expand on that question how are all three for general admission? are there any you'd absolutely avoid if you didn't have a table? is there a best for not having a table?

For GA:
XS > Light > Hakkasan

Is Hakkasan any more manageable in terms of over-crowding on a Thursday? In particular, a Thursday that's not part of any major conventions in town, etc...

Thanks

Yes, definitely. I went on calvin harris on the summer it was unmanageable....in the winter it was very ok.

I would avouid the summer months weekends tough...
