Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand is set to reopen with lounge-style programming on March 26 after remaining closed for more than a year while the Las Vegas Strip was battling with the coronavirus pandemic.
In adherence with state health and safety protocols, the club will require reservations for all guests, since general admission is not currently permitted. Guidelines currently allow 35% of a venue’s total capacity, but that's expected to rise to 50% or 250 people (whichever is less) on Monday, March 15.
“This is a very positive first step in returning to normal business operations and bringing additional staff back to work,” Hakkasan Group Executive Vice President of Food & Beverage Derek Silberstein said in a statement. “With … Hakkasan Nightclub’s reopening and our latest restaurant offering, Casa Calavera’s grand opening in Virgin Hotels Las Vegas towards the end of March, Hakkasan Group will have welcomed back over 350 colleagues to Las Vegas’ hospitality sector this month alone. We look forward to announcing further re-openings in the near future that will equate to additional jobs for our industry.”
Hakkasan Group reopened the terrace at Omnia, the megaclub at Caesars Palace, on March 5 and also reactivated its largest dayclub operation, Wet Republic at MGM Grand, that same day. Its Liquid Pool Lounge at Aria reopens on March 12.
The Hakkasan restaurant on the first floor of the complex at MGM Grand remains closed.
