R&Bae Wednesdays brings smooth R&B vibes to Hakkasan Nightclub during the high-energy chaos of EDC Week. DJ Franzen takes over the decks to spin a mix that leans into sultry vocals, contemporary R&B beats, and hip-hop grooves—a welcome change of pace from the electronic music that dominates the Strip during this particular week. The multi-level nightclub, with its intricate lattice woodwork and dramatic lighting, creates an intimate atmosphere even within its massive space.
This weekly series offers a different flavor for those looking to escape the relentless bass drops and laser shows that take over Vegas during EDC. The blend of Hakkasan's upscale Asian-fusion aesthetic with the laid-back sensuality of R&B creates an interesting contrast—bottle service and banquettes filled with people actually talking to each other between songs, rather than just fist-pumping to drops. During EDC Week specifically, it becomes a spot where festival-goers can decompress mid-week without straying too far from the party scene.
