Hakkasan Las Vegas – Premier Nightlife Inside the MGM Grand on the Las Vegas Strip

Another nightlife destination in Las Vegas is about to re-open. Hakkasan Las Vegas inside MGM Grand is owned by Global hospitality company Hakkasan Group. This nightclub is located on the world famous Las Vegas Strip.

Due COVID-19 restrictions, Hakkasan Nightclub will make a change and resume operations as a lounge. But nightclub reservations are required for hotel and non-hotel guests. Also, no general admission is permitted under current, Nevada restrictions.

Due to health and safety protocols at the forefront, the venue has moved to a touchless menu system. Access is available via a scannable QR code from cell phones. In addition, VIP tables will be separated. Therefore, this allows for physical distancing. Plus, strict cleaning plans will be fully implemented.

Derek Silberstein is the Executive Vice President of Food & Beverage at Hakkasan Group. He states, “This is a very positive first step in returning to normal business operations and bringing additional staff back to work. The re-opening of OMNIA’s Terrace and Wet Republic on March 5 was a great start.”

He continues, “With Liquid Pool Lounge at ARIA reopening March 12, then 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’s 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.”

CraftSteak Steak House at the MGM Grand

The CraftSteak Steak House is located at the luxury MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

CraftSteak is a bit gimmicy in that they serve “Kobe Beef”. Due to regulations, it is not 100% real Kobe beef, but is still pretty darn good.

The quality of food is superb, and the variety and larger portions were great. Between the two of us, he dined on two or three small appetizers, three steaks, numerous side dishes, as well as a variety of homemade ice creams for our desert. We were also served several palette cleansers between our servings.

The CraftSteak Steak House restaurant service was stellar. The waiter was an older gentleman who had a very strong accent. He sounded somewhat like a vampire, but was just brilliant.

The waiter recommended the the mashed potatoes and said they were “ridiculous”. That was no mistake as they were incredible. It was like an equal mix of cream and potato and the taste was quite intense. They were great.

The CraftSteak steaks were in one word – terrific. The meat is extremely tender and flavorful. The steaks seemed to have been oozing “goodness” out of them. Juice galore. We got three steak cuts, a New York Strip, a Fillet, and one other served with the tasting menu. My only regret was not getting the Steak Tartar as the suggested first course. The waiter switched to a Foie Gras since we were pussies when it came to eating raw meat.

CraftSteak is on the expensive side, but it is a memorable meal and will let you get in some “Kobe Beef” which will be one of the most flavorful tender cuts of meat you have ever eaten. I would definitely go there again, and take some friends here to pop their “Kobe” cherry.




The Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand

Lion Habitat MGM Grand Las Vegas

The Lion, the king of the jungle reigns supreme within The Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Vegas is known for over-the-top displays and events. This one is a must see.

This is a one-of-a-kind, indoor habitat that encourages hotel visitors to learn more about these majestic creatures and offer a unique opportunity to see these lions up close and personal.

The mission statement of the MGM Lion Habitat exhibit is – To honor the lion and safeguard its preservation for future generations. People love to see wild animals, so this is a VIP experience that should not be missed.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and a clear Plexiglas tunnel in the The Lion Habitat provide optimum viewing for guests of all ages. Up to six lions can be seen each day.

Actually, the Lion Habitat is just their home away from home.  Several lions are driven in each day from a huge ranch just outside Las Vegas.  The lions are rotated throughout the week.  This ensures that none of them have to make the trip each day.

Although the lions have a tendency to sleep long hours throughout the day, occasionally informal shows will happen as handlers feed and entice the lions to play.
