The MGM Grand's 80,000-square-foot nightclub hosts the world's highest-paid DJ residencies — Calvin Harris, Tiësto, and Martin Garrix — across multiple rooms with a state-of-the-art LED installation.
Hakkasan Las Vegas occupies five floors of the MGM Grand Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, spanning approximately 80,000 square feet and comprising multiple rooms across different formats — including a main dancefloor, a Ling Ling lounge, an outdoor stage, and a rooftop terrace. The club opened in 2012 and quickly established itself as one of the highest-grossing nightclubs in the world, anchored by a DJ residency roster that has at various points included Calvin Harris, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, and Deadmau5. The interior design draws on Hakkasan's global hospitality brand, blending dark lacquered wood, intricate latticework screens, and a dramatic LED ceiling installation that transforms the main room into a visual spectacle synchronized with the music. The programming focuses on mainstream EDM, progressive house, future bass, and trap, with occasional hip-hop nights for variety. The venue operates primarily Thursday through Sunday from 10:30PM, with resident DJs performing on most nights and superstar guest bookings scheduled months in advance. Cover charges range from $40 for general admission on standard programming nights to over $100 for headline performances. Bottle service is pervasive — tables command premium rates and reservations are strongly encouraged for group visits. The crowd is broadly 21 to 35, aspirationally dressed, and drawn from hotel guests, Las Vegas visitors, and a segment of local regulars. The dress code is formally enforced, requiring smart attire for all guests. The MGM Grand's central Strip location provides ease of access by taxi, rideshare, and the Las Vegas Monorail, which stops directly at the hotel.
