      The World’s Most Expensive Bottle Service
      By Correspondent Xania Woodman

      A lot can be said about Hakkasan Las Vegas. The new, five-level culinary and nightlife mecca in MGM Grand Hotel & Casino was granted permission to alter the exterior of that iconic building at the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Boulevard — a feat few tenants attempt and even fewer achieve. The nightclub is the first for the restaurant brand, which also has outposts in London, New York City, Miami, San Francisco and other hotspots around the globe.

      But the trump card is the zenith of bottle service, a package that, at $500,000, is the world’s most expensive. The Armand de Brignac Dynastie Collection — from the recognizable brand with gilded bottles and pewter ace of spades emblem — features nine bottles of the Champagne, including three created specifically for the offer (the 4.5-liter Rehoboam, 9-liter Salmanazar and 12-liter Balthazar bottles), and Hakkasan Las Vegas alone was given the chance to offer the collection to its highest-rolling patrons.

      Here’s how that would go down. Having ascertained that you aren’t committing the nightlife equivalent of declaring a false Bingo, your cocktail server will alert management of your order. Then, the drinks arrive: Armand de Brignac’s prestige cuvée Brut Gold Champagne in every available bottle format from the standard 750-milliliter bottle to the world-record-breaking 30-liter Midas. By volume, that’s 109 standard bottles of Champagne.

      Looking to score a Dynastie Collection of your own? You better act quickly. Because each bottle is crafted by hand by just eight people at the “family house,” which was established in 1763 in Chigny-les-Roses, France (the brand was later purchased by the Cattier family in 1951), there’s a global waiting list for all of Armand de Brignac’s large format bottles (especially the Midas). So, once the collection is sold out, it’s going to be a while before the Champagne stars align for a second round.
