"Hakkasan Las Vegas is going to be an experience beyond anyone's imagination," Luke told Billboard exclusively. "What I am doing at Hakkasan will be completely different from anything else that my fans have seen or heard from me so far."
The very buzzy Hakkasan has made headlines in Las Vegas for its huge price tag (reportedly $100 million to build), and the million-dollar paydays it was reportedly offering to potential resident DJs to draw them away from their former homes, at the clubs of Wynn Las Vegas and Cosmopolitan. Aoki, Deadmau5 and Harris are all former Wynn residents, reports Billboard.
