Preview Weekend


-- Thursday, April 18 - deadmau5: Hakkasan Las Vegas will open its doors to
an energetic performance from dance music phenomenon, deadmau5.
GRAMMY-nominated deadmau5 is known for his infectious music and iconic
mau5head donned during his performances. Paving the path for the
electronic music era, the entertainer became the first electronic dance
music artist to grace the cover of Rolling Stone in June 2012 and gave a
legendary performance at the 54(th) Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2012,
marking the first-ever televised celebration of electronic music.

-- Friday, April 19 - Hardwell: Lucky guests of Hakkasan's highly
anticipated Preview weekend will experience a Friday night performance
from Hardwell. The Dutch Big Room House producer and DJ broke into the
scene in 2009 and has since produced a handful of chart-topping singles
including his collaboration with Tiesto, "Zero 76," "Spaceman," and most
recently his stellar track "Apollo."


-- Saturday, April 20 - Bingo Players: The mayhem will continue with Bingo
Players at the turntables on Saturday night. Massive electronic Dutch
dance duo Bingo Players, made up of Paul Baumer & Maarten Hoogstraten,

massive release "Cry (Just A Little)" and others, and have toured
extensively with over 30 worldwide music festivals under their belts.
-- Sunday, April 21 - Tommy Trash: Ending the Preview weekend with a bang
will be a performance from GRAMMY Award-nominated Tommy Trash. Thomas
Olsen, better known as Tommy Trash, has been rocking the charts and
dance floors ever since appearing on the scene in 2006. The
Electro-House DJ has created high-profile remixes for heavy hitters
including Swedish House Mafia, deadmau5, Kaskade and many more.
Grand Opening Weekend


-- Thursday, April 25 - Steve Aoki: Kicking off Hakkasan's Grand Opening
weekend is headlining DJ Steve Aoki, who will debut the first of his six
Neon Future parties that will transport guests into a futuristic world
crafted by his mesmerizing electronic sounds and hard-hitting beats. The
DJ, producer and California native began his musical career as founder
of Dim Mak Records in 1996, which has released more than 250 records
from well-known house artists including Datsik, Diplo, Laidback Luke,
The Bloody Beetroots and his own collaboration with fellow DJ Tiesto.

Grand Opening weekend strong with the debut of his "Revolt" event series

for thousands of clubbers these days. Blasting your speakers with
blockbuster beats, stirring things up with his hybrid house styles and
his unlimited energy, brightly results in both stunning live sets and
ongoing anticipated studio hits. The Dutch heavy weight house master is

short period of time. His producing skills and love for electronic music

right now, remixing for artists like Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Katy,
