You have the hottest club wear in your suitcase and a ticket to Las Vegas in your pocket. You look online to book reservations at the best nightclubs, and the choices are overwhelming. Las Vegas enjoys a well-deserved reputation as the nightclub capital of the world. The city provides a venue to satisfy any tastes, but three clubs stand out from the others as places to see and be seen.
Hakkasan Las Vegas
Hakkasan made a name worldwide for succulent Cantonese cuisine in New York City, Mumbai, Miami, London, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Now, in Las Vegas, the group has added an extravagant nightclub and lounge to its restaurant. The restaurant covers the first two levels, and the Ling Ling Lounge occupies the third floor. The main nightclub occupies the fourth and fifth floors, has a dance floor surrounded by full-length LED screens, and an outdoor area with a two-story waterfall. Hakkasan features top performers in electronic music including Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Steve Aoki, and deadmau5.
XS at Encore
Its name defines the club, and the décor convinces you that the designers never heard of minimalism. However, Steve Wynn and Victor Drai succeeded in creating a stunning nightclub with gold plated models of women lining the 15-foot glittered staircase that leads into the venue. A 10-foot chandelier plated in gold rotates above the dance floor, which covers 1,100 square feet. The VIP booths sport crocodile skin embossed with gold, and for a mere $10,000, you can enjoy the house drink made with Louis XIII de Remy Martin Black Pearl cognac and Dom Perignon Oenotheque champagne. The nightclub includes a 27,000-gallon pool with 26 cabanas that come with full service. On average, 8,000 people visit XS each night, so partaking of the expensive bottle service or getting on a guest list is de rigueur for admittance.
Surrender at Encore
The luxury resort duo of Wynn and Encore takes service and entertainment to another level. For this reason, it is no surprise to find two entries from Encore on this list. The most unique feature of this gorgeous nightlife outlet is the hybrid between indoor and outdoor spaces. The beautifully decorated interior spills out to a poolside experience like no other, complete with luxury cabanas and even table games. This is all not to mention that Wynn/Encore nightclubs still continue to provide some of the most exciting Djs on a nightly basis – and Surrender is no exception.
