Clubber Spends $600,000 At Hakkasan

Clubber Spends $600,000 At Hakkasan

This past weekend, the most lavish club in Las Vegas, Hakkasan, opened. With its staggering 80,000 square feet and steep $100 million in renovation cost, this luxurious venue was built with big spenders in mind. Well Hakkasan’s investment seems to already be paying off, as one clubber (if you’d even call him that) spent a staggering $600,000 in one night. Just to put it in perspective, the average sales price of a home in the United States (as reported for February 2013) is $152,000. That’s enough to purchase 4 homes. 4! I’ll just let that sink in for a minute…

The fact that someone can spend so much in one night is mind boggling and to top it off it only furthers the truth that clubs are more focused on pleasing the bottle service high rollers rather than the average clubber. It’s sad that such a magnificent venue with its incredible roster of artists was not built for the likes of you and me, the ones truly enjoying the music, but rather for those with the deeper wallets. To reinforce the point I’m making all you have to do is look at the events that happened the first night, where security were told to deny entrance to anyone wearing a deadmau5, until the mau5 himself had to intervene and force the hand of the venue. I realize, like every other business, Hakkasan is seeking to maximize its investment by returning the highest profit per attendent, but it’s just disheartening that such good music is going to waste. And on that note I’ll leave you with one of Avicii’s few good quotes:

“The VIP [club] crowd tends to be less energetic […] If you are able to go out and spend $2 million a night in a nightclub and then get laid, it doesn’t add anything for their…what do you call it, what you leave after when you die?”

    that’s because 80% of profit for vegas clubs comes from bottle service. they are, after all, in the business to make money, so of course they will cater to bottle service. but to say that VIP is not truly there for the music is not a valid assumption. the reason I like being at a table, rather than the dancefloor, is because I get the best view in the house and my own area to dance in, because I love EDM. bottle service all night is a plus ;).

    LEGACY lol…he couldn’t think of the word.

    if you can blow $600,000 in one night at a night club, I’m sure you have some for charity…

    boooo….i hate that this is the case! I think the artists that perform should tell the club their own rules as to how they want the atmosphere in the club to be or something like that. They produce/dj/perform bc they love music and their fans so they should cater to their fans by telling the club. I don’t think Hakkasan would necessarily listen or accept that but f**K I wish they would!

    1,500,000 euros (almost $2million ) was spent in one night in Cannes last summer ;).

    If I had $600,000 to spend in 1 night, if be dead!

    The guest was denied because they were out of dress code not because of the mau5head. Yes bottle service is a huge focus of the business but how are they going to pay the huge DJ fees? There’s a large number of presales avail nightly so to say they don’t care about regular clubbers in inaccurate. You should get your story straight before blasting others.

    “It’s sad that such a magnificent venue with its incredible roster of artists was not built for the likes of you and me, the ones truly enjoying the music, but rather for those with the deeper wallets.” I don’t think this is true at all. I attended the event for 85 bucks and I am a nobody. I just bought my ticket online the day of. Getting bottle service is the only thing that was not meant for the likes of the average person. Bottle service is subsidizing the club for the average joe like me. If it weren’t for the guy spending thousands of dollars on bottle service my 85 bucks would have never paid for the equipment/DJ/staffing/etc… Be happy that there are guys out there willing to spend the big bucks. As far as I am concerned he helped pay for me to get in.
