Now that I am flying back home to Miami, here is my full review on Hakkasan...\n\nTHE LINE... \n\nFirst, if you get in a \""VIP Guest List\"" and are told to simply go up and tell them you are on it, they will put you in a long ass line that was at least 800 people deep.  We went on Thursday, July 3rd - it was not a Ti\u00ebsto night. When we got in line (about 10:35pm), it wrapped out to one of the doors near some restrooms - total time in line to get to the people actually checking the guest list ~1 hour.... Your ID *will* be checked - depending on how young you look, maybe a few times. Saw someone kicked out of line for having an expired DL too, so make sure you have a good one!  There were people in line with tickets for the night ($30)... So, that doesn't get you in any faster FYI. \n\nDRESS CODE...\n\nGuys... There is a sign that states \""dress code strictly enforced.\""  I knew I was good... Figure if i can dress appropriately, everyone else should, right? WRONG! There were guys in line that got in wearing cheap solid color t-shirts, sleeveless t-shirts, and even tank tops. A few got in wearing polo shirts (borderline for a \""high end\"" club if you ask me).  Guys - wear a button-down shirt for goodness sakes!  Ladies were mostly dressed appropriately for the scene - but, I haven't been to many clubs where the ladies do not know how to dress. \n\nGETTING INSIDE...\n\nAfter you are \""checked off\"" the guest list, you approach another (final) ID check. Your wrist is stamped a second time and you are ushered to the register to pay to get in. Yes, we were on the guest list and didn't have to pay that night - the people that check you off earlier in line, issue you a \""pass\"" telling the cashier how many males vs. females in your party.  You turn in that paper are handed a receipt, and then ushered into a bank of elevators which they pack shoulder to shoulder... Ugh! \n\nONCE INSIDE...\n\nThe elevator doors opened on the 4th floor and in you go to a hallway leading up a couple of stairs to the dance area. The first thing I noticed is the relatively small (read - packed) dance floor.  The dance area is surrounded by VIP tables/booths. There are a few bars around the outskirts of the floor/VIP area. As for decor, well... I think a friend put it best in reaction to a video I posted on Instagram... It looks like a black box with lights inside!\n\nIf you are not a smoker, beware - you will get smoke in your face in this place. Sometimes you are walking along and poof! you walk into a cloud of smoke thanks to another patron. \n\nWe also explored the 5th floor, figuring one could look down on the dance floor below and see the DJ, etc. Another disappointment here... Once you get upstairs, the only way to look down on the floor and see the DJ, is if you have one of the VIP tables/booths up there. Otherwise, you are at least 6-8' back from the overlook and can't see anything really. \n\nBAR...\n\nIt's Vegas, so I figured it would be around $14-16 for a drink here. Ordered 2 goose with pineapple = $40 including tip.  The \""glass\"" tumbler is plastic (I've been to \""cheaper\"" clubs and they serve in actual glass - guess this place \""can't afford\"" the glass???  As for the alcohol to mixer content - I would say it was average. Not terrible, but not $20 worth in my book. \n\nBATHROOM...\n\nYou would think that a place the size of this one would have a decent restroom facility. I am sad to say that NO, it doesn't - at least the one I went to.  Once you get inside the bathroom, an attendant pretty much keeps things in check and\""assigns\"" you a urinal or stall based on availability... Sound great, except that there were only 3 urinals and two stall that I remember seeing. Once done, the attendants are extremely courteous and do their job really well - tip them, as it may be the only thing that actually worked well!\n\nOVERALL...\n\nI would NOT go again, unless there is a special event going on where I know I will see a favorite DJ. Even then, I would be hard pressed to pay for a ticket or be on a VIP guest list. The only way to do this place right is probably to get a table, and from what I understood is definitely in the thousand$. \n\nCan't wait to get back to Miami to go to a real nightclub!
