Construction is underway at one of the busiest intersections on the Las Vegas Strip for a new lounge at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.
The development has taken over the main exterior façade at Las Vegas Boulevard South and Tropicana Avenue.
MGM Grand plans to unveil the new Hakkasan lounge and nightclub this December.
It takes over the former Studio 54 space and will span approximately 75,000 square feet over five levels.
Hakkasan Las Vegas was created by Hakkasan Ltd. and Angel Management Group.
CEO of Hakkasan Niall Howard said, "With Las Vegas as our fourth opening in the U.S., we are pleased to be part of such an established city, known widely for its impeccable dining and entertainment offerings."
Future visitors to Hakkasan Las Vegas can stay up to date on its development by visiting its new website.
