Nightclub & Bar has released its annual list of the top 100 revenue-generating nightclubs, bars and lounges in the U.S.
Nightclub & Bar compiles its list, in part, based on the results of a yearly survey of relevant businesses, which collects information on square footage, occupancy, estimated sales, average check spend, and the number of service stations, bars, and employees. The survey also measures the percentage of sales generated at businesses from beer, wine, spirits, food, cover charges and gaming.
For the third consecutive year, XS Nightclub at Encore Las Vegas held onto the No. 1 spot. Entering the Top 100 List for the first time — and with record-breaking numbers — is newcomer to Las Vegas, Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand. Both XS and Hakkasan brought in excess of $100 million each in revenue in 2014, which has never been done before.
The Top 100 total combined revenue was $1.36 billion in 2014 total revenue.
“With this year’s top clubs coming in significantly higher than year’s past, our Top 100 list once again proves the strength and energy of the nightlife industry,” said Jon Taffer, president of Nightclub & Bar and host and executive producer of Spike TV’s Bar Rescue. “Each year it’s exciting to see top nightlife destinations battle it out by bringing in the world’s hottest DJs and creating amazing, over-the-top experiences for their guests in hopes of topping the list.
The venues battled it out to keep their spots in the top ten, with Hakkasan securing itself in the #2 spot after receiving honorable mention last year, LIV Miami beating out Surrender, PURE dropping off, and XS taking the top spot once again.
Nightclub & Bar will honor the 2015 Top 100 winners during the 30th Anniversary Nightclub & Bar Show taking place in Las Vegas March 30-April 1, 2015. Winners will be recognized on the Nightclub & Bar Show red carpet and honored with a special party at XS Nightclub on Tuesday, March 31, during the Nightclub & Bar Show Top 100 Platinum Party featuring a performance by Grammy Award nominated DJ Avicii.
