It is intricately designed over five levels and hosts residencies by some of the most exciting and innovative DJs on the planet including Tiësto, Calvin Harris Steve Aoki, deadmau5, ... and many more.
Robe moving lights are right at the core of a lighting design throughout Hakkasan Las Vegas nightclub - the biggest new build project in US clubbing history - that has been created by Frank Murray of Irish based installation specialists, Audiotek.
The brief for the lighting from the four very hands-on AMG principals, explains Murray, was simply to help create "The BEST electronic music and clubbing experience EVER".
The very antithesis of 'What happens in Vegas stays In Vegas', the idea was to ensure that every guest leaves Hakkasan with unrivalled sensory and visual memories permanently imprinted!
Murray and Audiotek's project technical director Len Bolger worked with Audiotek programmer Andy Taylor on the lighting design for the club's various different areas. The Robe equipment was delivered by Robe Inc. and installed by 4Wall and local electrical contractor, Sun City Electrical.
The main room located on the fourth level - which hosts the international EDM DJs - features 16 x 300E Beams, six DLX LED Spots for dancefloor key lights and 12 of the new multi-functional Pointe fixture - all from Robe's Robin range.
The DJ area is lit with eight 300E Beams and another four Pointes. All lighting - which includes other fixtures - is controlled from a Chamsys MagicQ MQ 300 Pro console.
In the Pavilion annex to the main room there are 12 x ROBIN 300E Beams and another four DLXs, while the balcony is illuminated by 18 x Robin LEDBeam 100s which visually connect it to all the action happening in the room.
Four Anolis ArcSource 4 MCs fixtures illuminate the welcome stage just off the elevator.
The Ling Ling Club space is an open format destination and features another 16 of the tiny super-bright LEDBeam 100s, eight LEDWash 300s and eight more Pointes.
Outside, it is planned to up-light the impressive stone exterior façade with four Robin MiniMe digital effects lighting units - which will be the first of these to be installed in a club in the US.
"Just as Hakkasan Las Vegas is completely ground-breaking as an entertainment concept," enthuses Murray, "So the lighting had to meet that ambitious goal of being spectacular, different and appropriate."
