Hakkasan Group has been expanding its Las Vegas empire over the past twelve months and one of those additions has been opening the new Omnia Nightclub in Caesar's Palace. The group converted the old Pure Nightclub into a brand new state of the art facility to compete with the other mega-clubs on the strip. However, in the current Vegas climate, it is not enough to have a massive club and expect people to just show. One must have some of the top brand name DJs playing at your club and Omnia Nightclub has secured some of those names starting with some of the top acts in the world including Afrojack, Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren.
The list continues with a full roster of Chuckie, Oliver Heldens, Krewella, who move on minus Kris Trindl, Nervo, Nicky Romero, who switches from Light Group and Showtek.
In a statement to Billboard, Neil Moffit, CEO of Hakkasan Group, spoke about the new roster they have assembled for Omnia. "We are pleased to welcome an unprecedented lineup of award-winning, global artists to Omnia and to provide our guests an entertainment experience that is unmatched in Las Vegas. The caliber of artists planned for Omnia, combined with the nightclub's seductive design, state-of-the-art sound, lighting systems and technology will take guests on an immersive, ever-evolving and unforgettable journey."
Afrojack praised his new Vegas residency. "I was really excited when the Hakkasan Group team shared the initial designs and involved me in a large part of the planning of the sound system, lights, effects and a whole range of other details throughout the club," he says. "I am confident Omnia will set a new standard in nightlife and I am very proud to be a part of it."
Hakkasan has not stopped there with its business. It made the move to acquire a 90% stake in the Light Group, owners of Light Nightclub and 1 Oak, from the Morgans Hotel, which is evident in some of the Omnia bookings that were Light Nightclub residents in 2014. The deal was reportedly worth approximately $40 million in cash and debt.
It is also set to open a new Omnia Nightclub in San Diego this spring, expanding the Hakkasan Group brand beyond Las Vegas and into the West coast, creating a dominant, mega-club brand.
Event tickets go on sale Feb 2. at 10 a.m. PST and can be purchased at Omnia Nightclub's website.
