What you should know about Hakkasan Restaurant Las Vegas.
Hakkasan Restaurant Las Vegas is best known for opening on May 3, 2013 as the culinary centerpiece of the $100 million, 80,000-square-foot, five-level Hakkasan Las Vegas development at MGM Grand, transforming the former Studio 54 nightclub space into the brand's first integrated restaurant-and-nightclub destination in the United States. The restaurant was led at launch by MICHELIN-Starred Executive Chef Ho Chee Boon, who brought experience from Hakkasan's internationally acclaimed London restaurants while introducing a contemporary Cantonese menu featuring Peking duck with caviar, handmade dim sum, signature Hakka baskets, premium seafood, and refined banquet-style dining inspired by the original Hakkasan Hanway Place in London. Designed by renowned Paris-based interior designers Gilles & Boissier, the approximately 20,000-square-foot restaurant incorporates carved wooden latticework, intimate dining “cages,” and luxurious contemporary Chinoiserie that established one of the Strip's most ambitious restaurant interiors. The restaurant has earned the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, recognition from the Southern Nevada Concierge Association, Best of Las Vegas, and Desert Companion, while continuing under Chef de Cuisine Jian Heng Loo as one of MGM Grand's signature fine dining experiences.
Handmade dim sum, roasted Peking duck, delicate seafood, fragrant ginger, black truffle, premium shellfish, aromatic herbs, and refined sauces establish a culinary theme rooted in contemporary Cantonese technique. Crisply roasted meats, expertly folded dumplings, pristine fish, handcrafted desserts, exceptional teas, curated wines, and thoughtfully balanced tasting menus deepen that foundation through restrained seasoning, contrasting textures, and layered flavors. Precise wok cooking, disciplined knife work, attentive dim sum preparation, careful roasting, and polished tableside service preserve the integrity of every ingredient while allowing Cantonese culinary craftsmanship to remain the defining focus throughout the dining experience. Together Ho Chee Boon's culinary leadership, Hakkasan's London heritage, Gilles & Boissier's architectural vision, and disciplined execution create a dining identity defined by elegance, precision, and international acclaim.
