I was at Hakkasan with a bunch of people for a friend's birthday to see R3hab on a Thursday night.\n\nI wish I could tell you how the show was, but I honestly don't even remember if we saw any of it. The only proof I have that we MAY have seen any of the show is a 15 second video on my phone. Oh, Vegas... So I suppose this will be a review of the nightclub itself -- or what I can remember of it.\n\nOur group was pretty evenly matched up in terms of girls and guys, but luckily our birthday girl had managed to land free table service through her promoter for us ladies (and a few of our guys) right by the dance floor. They brought us two bottles and \"made\" us drinks (mixed what I think was vodka and various juices/soda water together into a glass). The table we sat at had storage areas under the seats for those of us who wanted to stash a purse or clutch, or anything else besides which was super convenient.\n\nEvery staff member I encountered (guards, bouncers, bartenders, bathroom attendants, the girls who worked the tables for table service) was very polite and friendly. I don't know why this place got so many bad reviews for service. Maybe because we went during a slower week night? And because we had gotten there a little early?\n\nWe got there pretty early (between 9PM-10PM), so it was still a pretty relaxed atmosphere. It's bigger than it looks, with a second bar tucked over on the far side of the dance floor. I never personally found it to be terribly overcrowded. And a margarita cost me $14 (eeek, Vegas prices).\n\nWe did, unfortunately, lose our table because apparently we had \"too many guys,\" so they sold the table away to another party. Without warning us first (so far as I know anyway). That was a little upsetting, but what can you do in a city where having a vagina trumps all? At one point during the night, a guard had even physically stopped my boyfriend from approaching the table (put a hand on his shoulder and held him back from the table), and the only explanation the guard had was that there were too many guys there. Even though he was one of the original guys in the group who the the table had been reserved with.
