"When you want a one-stop-shop big night out in Vegas, the five-story Hakkasan at the MGM Grand offers the full clubstaurant experience with actually-good food. Go for the Taste Of Hakkasan menu, which, at $68 per person, won’t set you back as much as other flashy properties. The cute, extra colorful dim sum and classics like black pepper beef are easy crowdpleasers, though if you do want to splash out, go for the signature peking duck. Served sliced and topped with caviar, it’s an appropriately celebratory way to start an evening that ends with getting escorted upstairs to the nightclub of the same name for VIP bottle service and DJ sets from residents like Steve Aoki and Alesso." - emmy kasten, brant cox, andrew ryce
